CBS' scripted reruns ruled much of prime-time Monday, despite the presence of Fox's Hell's Kitchen finale.
Fox did win the first hour (7 to 8 p.m.) with a new episode of So You Think You Can Dance, attracting the most total homes and advertiser-craved 18-to-49-year-olds. But CBS then cruised in both audience measurements with repeats of Two and a Half Men, Rules of Engagement and CSI: Miami.
Two and a Half was Monday's overall biggest draw with 192,780 D-FW homes. Hell's Kitchen, with Virginia's Rock Harper the winning chef, lured 140,420 homes.
Cable's biggest draw was pro football, with the Broncos-49ers preseason game on ESPN nabbing 107,100 homes. A new episode of TNT's The Closer had 92,820 homes to rank as cable's second biggest attraction.
In the local news derby, CBS11's 10 p.m. newscast again squandered Monday's biggest lead-in to tie for third place with Fox4 in total homes. It ran an out-of-the-money fifth among 25-to-54-year-olds, the main advertiser target audience for news programming.
NBC5 won at 10 p.m. in both audience measurements, with an especially big margin in the 25-to-54 demo.
Belo8 perked up a bit at 6 a.m., where it's been running third in the summer. The ABC station tied Fox4 for first in homes and ran a solid second -- behind Fox4 -- with 25-to-54-year-olds.
Belo8 ran the table at 5 and 6 p.m. for the second straight weeknight.
