ABC and FOX split Tuesday night leadership, with ABC winning the night overall among households and viewers and FOX showcasing its muscle with an impressive performance among adults 18-49.

In the battle of season premieres, ABC’s Tuesday debut of Dancing With the Stars held on to most of Monday nights audience, and was (just barely) the evening’s most-watched program. But the strong performance had not effect on the season four premiere of Boston Legal. House meanwhile opened in strong fashion (2nd most-watched program on the night) despite its total audience down from last year. The series made up for that decline with an improved rating among adults 18-49 (first place on the night).

Over at CBS, the new season’s of NCIS and The Unit were mostly on par with last year, with slight decreases. While at NBC, The Biggest Loser took a dive in its third week of the new season and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit fell well short of last year’s premiere.

In series premiere news, Cane matched its year-ago time period occupant among households and viewers, but fell short among adults 18-49, opening with less viewers in that demo than last year’s time period occupant (Smith, which subsequently was canceled after only 3 episodes). Reaper also failed to show growth from last year’s occupant, however, the new series did improve upon its lead-in, Beauty & The Geek, which lost some viewership from last week’s premiere.

ABC’s Dancing With the Stars holds off the competition on Monday night.  The night seen a total of 10 season openers (three series premieres and seven season premieres, including ‘Dance’).  Though ABC was far and away the most-watched network last night, NBC was a very close second place among adults 18-49 with their solid season premiere of hit drama Heroes and okay series premieres for Chuck and Journeyman.  

On the CBS front, all its shows returned down from year-ago numbers, but the nets new comedy series The Big Bang Theory showed good growth from its lead-in and improved the timeslot numbers among adults 18-49 from last year’s occupant. Over at FOX, K-Ville suffered a big loss.

With several shows returning for the new year, NBC got a big boost from their Sunday Night Football telecast, to hold off the season premieres in all three main categories. In a tough battle for second place, CBS held off FOX among households and viewers, but the network failed to reach the younger A18-49 demographic, where FOX placed second on the night, with a strong year-to-year improvement from the Star Wars themed Family Guy special.

Speaking to the premieres, Family Guy and King of the Hill were the only shows to increase their viewership from the season prior, with the rest of the season premieres (60 Minutes, Cold Case, Shark and The Simpsons) debuting down.

And in regards to The CW, most of the nation decided against taking a look at CW Now and Online Nation with the former just barely reaching the 1 million viewer mark, and the later failing to reach even that many viewers.

Big evening of series/season premieres and finales goes to CBS among households and viewers, while FOX takes the night among adults 18-49. Kid Nation performs so-so, down year-to-year, while FOX’s Back to You does well for the network, especially among adults 18-49. On The CW, ‘Top Model’ posted its usual strong season premiere numbers, but its lead-out, the new drama Gossip Girl doesn’t fare too well, only able to match last year’s timeslot numbers.

Despite a night of new programming from both NBC and FOX, CBS still manages to come away with a win on the evening among households and adults 18-49. The below-average season premiere of Prison Break and the solid series premiere of K-Ville combine to give FOX a win on the evening among adults 18-49.
