ABC ended the night with a 2.2 rating/7 share.
Also scoring a 2.2/7 for the night, CBS saw its “Two and a Half Men” (2.7/8) rank as Monday’s highest-rated show, edging out the “Men Tell All” episode by a tenth of a percentage point.
Fox, with drama repeats, placed a close third with a 2.1/7.
NBC’s “American Gladiators” (1.8/6) was average, while “Nashville Star” (1.5/4), now in its fourth week on broadcast TV, continued to slide from its premiere, down 17% from last week. NBC landed in fourth with a 1.6 rating/5 share.
The CW was fifth with repeats, ending with a 0.4 rating/1 share.
