A half-hour NFL Overrun, which featured the heavily hyped matchup between the Patriots and Colts powered CBS to a strong household and viewer win for the evening. The increased viewership also helped the network’s lineup post impressive week-to-week gains and a great start to the new season of The Amazing Race.
However, NBC still managed to win the evening among adults 18-49, and ABC and Fox both stayed competitive for viewers in the demo.
My full analysis follows after the jump.

Fox’s coverage of game 4 of the World Series, which saw the Red Sox complete the sweep against the Rockies, gave the network an easy victory for the evening.
ABC though, doesn’t lose any audience from the week prior in a solid second.

Fox wins the night with another solid performance out of their World Series telecast, though ABC remained strong overall and a very close second among adults 18-49 with the nights most-watched show in that demo Grey’s Anatomy.
The season eight premiere of Scrubs was strong, as the show returns well ahead of where it began last season.

ABC takes the evening with the nights most-watched and highest rated program Dancing With the Stars, which was also the most-watched program among adults 18-49 and a very solid second outing from new series Samantha Who?, which had a very minimal second week drop-off among total audience, and managed a slight uptick among adults 18-49.
NBC’s Heroes remains strong overall, especially among adults 18-49, but it’s lagging behind last season’s numbers.

And The CW finally got some good news, with greatly improved performances for both Beauty and the Geek and Reaper.

Thanks to the heavily-hyped football matchup between the Patriots and Cowboys (which had monster ratings approaching 30 million viewers) CBS easily won the evening across all main categories.
ABC however wasn’t affected by the increased eyeballs over at CBS, as the networks lineup grew week-to-week.
Meanwhile over at NBC, Sunday Night Football drew season low numbers and The CW’s lineup continues to disappoint.
My full analysis follows after the jump.

CBS holds off competitive efforts by ABC, FOX and NBC to place first on the evening among households, viewers and adults 18-49.
Strong series premiere for Women’s Murder Club, the night’s most watched series, can’t lift Men In Trees, which struggled in its new season. Also outings by Friday Night Lights, and CBS’s Moonlight.
MLB Playoffs get off to a slow start on Fox, down from higher level of TBS games, and from last year’s comparable game.

CBS and ABC share leadership at the top, with CBS taking a first place finish among households and viewers, but ABC managed to take first place on the evening among adults 18-49.
The battle is still incredibly competitive between Grey’s Anatomy and CSI at 9:00 p.m., with ‘Grey’s’ getting ever so closer to passing up CSI among households and viewers, and continuing to easily better the show among adults 18-49.
Without A Trace, strangely, isn’t doing as well out of CSI as it once did, falling to second place on the hour among adults 18-49, losing to newcomer Big Shots, which had over 4 million less viewers.
NBC saw another solid (among adults 18-49) outing from its comedies, however 30 Rock saw a bit of a slide over last week’s much improved season premiere.
Over at The CW, the network saw improved performances for both Smallville, and more importantly, Supernatural, which improved a modest amount over last week’s season premiere.

CBS passes ABC as the nights most-watched network among households and viewers, thanks in large part to the night’s most-watched program Criminal Minds, which continues to perform well against the younger skewing Private Practice (nights most-watched program among adults 18-49) and Bionic Woman.
ABC’s delightfully enjoyable new drama Pushing Daisies goes through a large drop-off, but still was able to win its time period among adults 18-49, while Private Practice has stabilized, showing week-to-week growth among adults 18-49 and Dirty Sexy Money continues to perform so-so, holding on to +70% of its lead-in audience.
Over at NBC, Deal or No Deal increased its total audience for the second straight week, providing NBC with a time period win for the hour among households and viewers. That led into new series Bionic Woman, which dropped a bit in its third week, but not by any significant margin. Same goes for Life.
Fox’s lineup continues to perform only so-so, while The CW got a boost from America’s Next Top Model, which posted its largest audience of the year, and Gossip Girl, which recently got a full-season renewal, held steady, but continues to perform poorly in terms of retention from its lead-in.
Full analysis after the jump.

FOX handedly won the evening with the still dominant House. The second weeks of ABC comedies Cavemen and Carpoolers slip up, but ABC’s Dancing With the Stars still kept the network in a competitive third place on the evening.
