Remember when a network series with a 30 share was just barely hanging on? ABC, CBS and Univision tie for first place
Average a 1.8 in 18-49s, with 'Bang' the top show By Toni Fitzgerald Aug 17, 2010 ABC kept its Monday night winning streak alive, though just barely, last night. The network tied with CBS and Univision for first place, the 10th straight week ABC has been No. 1 on Monday. The three networks averaged a 1.8 adults 18-49 rating and 5 share apiece, though ABC and CBS were both down from last week, when they averaged a 2.1 and 1.9, respectively. ABC's new Monday schedule slid after last week's debut, with the two-hour "Bachelor Pad" averaging a 1.9, off 14 percent from the previous week's debut. Leadout "Dating in the Dark" at 10 p.m. averaged a 1.6, off 11 percent from last week's premiere. CBS's "The Big Bang Theory" was the night's top show with a 2.5 rating at 9:30 p.m., its second straight week at No. 1, though down a bit from last week's 2.7. Meanwhile, for the night, Fox placed fourth at 1.4/4, followed by NBC in fifth at 1.2/4 and CW sixth at 0.3/1. As a reminder, all ratings are based on live-plus-same-day DVR playback. Seven-day DVR data won’t be available for several weeks. Thirty-seven percent of Nielsen households have DVRs. At 8 p.m. CBS and Univision tied for first at a 1.8, CBS for repeats of "How I Met Your Mother" and "Rules of Engagement" and Univision for "Hasta que el Dinero Nos Separe," with ABC third with a 1.7 for the first hour of "Pad." NBC and Fox tied for fourth at 1.2, NBC for a repeat of "America's Got Talent" and Fox for a "House" rerun, with CW sixth with a 0.3 for a repeat of "90210." CBS took the outright lead at 9 p.m. with a 2.5 for repeats of "Two and a Half Men" and "Bang," with Univision second with a 2.3 for "Soy Tu Dueña."
