CBS won the night with adults 18-49, edging out ABC, though ABC won the night with overall viewers. FOX was tops with adults 18-49.
With Chuck’s renewal fate hanging in the balance the good news is that it didn’t go down. The bad news is that it didn’t go up either. The 1.9 rating with adults 18-49 ties with series lows. For those keeping track of the half hours, the first half hour was a 1.8 rating with adults 18-49 and the second was a 1.9.
CBS’s The Big Bang Theory was tops for the night with adults 18-49 with a 5.2 rating. With a new episode of Big Bang Theory as a lead-in (last week the 9:30p episode was a repeat), CSI: Miami comfortably led Castle with adults 18-49 (3.3 vs. 2.6) though Castle had more viewers.
Castle’s rating was the same as last week, though last night it had the advantage of a direct lead-in from Dancing With the Stars.
Dancing With the Stars was down a tick from last week to a 4.0 rating with adults 18-49 for the full two hours, its lowest-rated performance show of this spring’s cycle.
House was down around 8% to a 3.6 rating with adults 18-49. The CBS 8pm comedy block was up a bit from last week with Rules of Engagement being up more than 10%.
Over on the CW, One Tree Hill, which has yet to be renewed, beat the already renewed Gossip Girl with adults 18-49, adults 18-34, viewers, and most importantly, women 18-34 (2.0 vs. 1.8).

Adam Boulton's live verbal donnybrook with Alastair Campbell was watched by more than 350,000 viewers on Sky News yesterday, another day of extraordinary Westminster drama. Viewers turned to Sky News and BBC News Channel as Gordon Brown's resignation ratcheted up the stakes in the game of political poker over the formation of the next government.
The Sky News political editor's row with Labour's former director of communications came at about 5.40pm, shortly after Brown's resignation statement, during the channel's daily Live at Five show, anchored by Jeremy Thompson.
Sky News averaged 366,000 viewers during the half hour from 5.30pm – the channel's best audience of the day. Overall, Live at Five had 310,000 viewers across two hours from 5pm.
BBC News Channel did even better in the ratings, with 698,000 viewers across the 5pm hour.
The BBC rolling news network averaged 459,000 viewers across six hours between 5pm and 11pm, during which time it simulcast BBC1's 6pm and 10pm bulletins as usual. BBC News Channel had an all-individuals audience share of 2.9% yesterday, making it the most-watched multichannel network for the third day out of the past five.
The news channel's ratings are normally well below those of the most popular multichannel networks, such as ITV2, ITV3 and E4, but it has enjoyed a boost since election day with the ongoing political uncertainty over the makeup of the next government.
BBC News Channel was also the most-watched multichannel network on Thursday (2.8%) and Friday (3.6%). Over the past three months BBC News Channel has had an average daily share of 1%.
Sky News has also enjoyed a ratings hike because of the inconclusive election result, with an all-individuals share of 1.4% yesterday, compared to a daily average of 0.6% over the past three months.
Elsewhere yesterday, ITV1's decision to run two-part documentary Wormwood Scrubs in peak time was handsomely rewarded in the ratings. The first part of Wormwood Scrubs easily won the 9pm hour, attracting 5.019 million (20.9%) on ITV1. Another 112,000 (0.5%) watched on ITV1 HD.
Wormwood Scrubs got more than double the audience of the BBC1's 9pm show, new series High Street Dreams, which had 2.473 million (10.3%). Another 20,000 (0.08%) watched on BBC HD.
