CBS was a strong third at 9.1/14. FOX came in fourth with a 6.5/10, and The CW brought up the rear with a 1.7/3.

Among adults 18-49, NBC's 5.8 rating just beat ABC's 5.7 for first place. FOX took third with a 4.6, ahead of CBS' 3.6. The CW averaged 1.0.

Rocky's editorial: Friday Night Light's may have been given a full-season order, but its numbers are very low. Curious to see how it will do once the Dancing stuff is gone. Geez, I can't wait for the dancing stuff to be gone.

I can't wait for the dancing stuff to be gone.

Yes me too. My in laws love that stuff and always wants to come over and watch that stuff on my TVs.

The finale of "Dancing with the Stars" gave ABC the biggest audience of any single show this season, allowing the network to win the night despite a big dropoff for the premiere of "Day Break."

ABC averaged a 10.5 rating/16 share for the night, beating out CBS' 8.8/14. NBC finished third at 5.5/8. FOX, 4.3/7, came in fourth, and The CW was fifth at 2.6/4.

In the adults 18-49 demographic, ABC's 4.8 rating claimed the top spot over CBS' 4.4. NBC, 3.3, was third, followed by FOX, 2.5, and The CW, 1.7.

8pm
#1 Dancing with the Stars finale, 17.5/27
#2 Jericho, 5.8/9
#3 Bones, 5.0/8

9pm
#1 Criminal Minds, 10.4/16
#2 Day Break, 8.0/12
#3 Medium, 5.9/9

10pm
#1 CSI: Miami, 10.3/17
#2 Medium, 6.6/11
#3 Day Break, 6.0/10


Rocky’s editorial: 17.5/27. Dang, people really do like that dancing stuff. Unbelievable number. But I am glad to report that I NEVER watched a single minute of it! Daybreak dropped considerably, but still had pretty good numbers – as good as or better than 3lbs. And one would expect the “24 meets Groundhog Day” show to appeal to a different demographic than Dancing with the stars….

ABC finished second at 9.4/14, with NBC third at 7.4/11 (numbers for both CBS and NBC should change some because of their live sports coverage). FOX, 4.2/6, came in fourth, and The CW was fifth at 2.3/4.
