At 7 p.m. NBC’s "Dateline" scored a 1.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic, topping CBS’s "60 Minutes," which had a 1.0 in the demo, and a fresh "Sons of Tucson" on Fox that registered a 0.6 in the demo for the top half of the hour.

At 8 p.m. "Big Brother" collected a 2.5 in the 18-49 demo, over all reruns.

The 9 p.m. hour saw ABC’s "Scoundrels" netting a 0.6 in the 18-49 demo, ranking last among all reruns.

At 10 p.m. ABC’s "The Gates" did a little better with a 0.9 in the 18-49 demographic, good enough for second place for the hour.
