ABC & CBS dueled with adults 18-49, and CBS captured the most viewers on a slow holiday broadcast Monday where Boise St. vs. Virginia Tech on ESPN almost certainly rated much better than anything on broadcast (we won't see those numbers for at least a few hours).
Though repeats of the CBS comedies were noticeably down, The Big Bang Theory was still the night's top program on the broadcast nets with adults 18-49 and Two and a Half Men was tops with total viewers.
Flat vs. last week, Bachelor Pad was none the worse for wear on the holiday, but Dating in the Dark was down around 20% from last week to its worst-rated episode ever with adults 18-49.
Late-night results are below the primetime data.

Definitions:
Fast Affiliate Ratings: These first national ratings, including demographics, are available at approximately 11 AM (ET) the day after telecast, and are released to subscribing customers daily. These data, from the National People Meter sample, are strictly time-period information, based on the normal broadcast network feed, and include all programming on the affiliated stations, sometimes including network programming, sometimes not. The figures may include stations that did not air the entire network feed, as well as local news breaks or cutaways for local coverage or other programming. Fast Affiliate ratings are not as useful for live programs and are likely to differ significantly from the final results, because the data reflect normal broadcast feed patterns. For example, with a World Series game, Fast Affiliate Ratings would include whatever aired from 8-11PM on affiliates in the Pacific Time Zone, following the live football game, but not game coverage that begins at 5PM PT. The same would be true of Presidential debates as well as live award shows and breaking news reports.
Rating: Estimated percentage of the universe of TV households (or other specified group) tuned to a program in the average minute. Ratings are expressed as a percent.
Share (of Audience): The percent of households (or persons) using television who are tuned to a specific program, station or network in a specific area at a specific time. (See also, Rating, which represents tuning or viewing as a percent of the entire population being measured.)
Time Shifted Viewing – Program ratings for national sources are produced in three streams of data – Live, Live+Same Day (Live+SD) and Live+7 Day. Time shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs. Live+Same Day (Live+SD) include viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3:00AM local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing. Live+7 Day ratings include incremental viewing that takes place during the 7 days following a telecast.

I hated the CBS Fall Preview show, they only hyped their new shows (With an emphasis on The Defenders), without mentioning any of the returning shows (except The Big Bang Theory). Even the NBC preview show, with all of their new shows, found time to hype their new and returning shows. I haven’t seen the ABC fall preview, since it was preempted by Little League Baseball a few weeks back, but I also liked the CW fall preview show.

I wonder what the ratings for 90210 and Gossip Girl will be next week considering these repeats are both under one million.

The CBS Fall Preview show was actually up significantly over the year prior: 45% in viewers (from 3.46M) and 56% in A18-49 rating (from a 0.9 rating).
Also worth noting that the show grew from its lead-in this season (+12% in viewers / n/c in A18-49 rating), but fell last year from a repeat of The New Adventures of Old Christine (-16% and -18%, respectively).
Not sure if it really means anything, but thought it was a least noteworthy.
