CBS's hit new cop drama The Mentalist followed but was down on previous weeks with 14.86M, 3.4/8 (18-49) and 1.9/5 (18-34), last week's Presidential debate has done the show no favours.

Fox was second, but dominated the night in the demos with House winning in the key demos with 5.1/14 in the 18-49 and 5.0/15 in the 18-34 bracket. House may be down on last season's average but when DVR numbers are included, it should top 15M. Fringe, its leadout program is doing particular well with 9.53M and 4.2/10 and 3.8/10 in the key demos, this series has improved significantly since its pilot.
Over at ABC, tiring format Dancing with the Stars appears to be losing viewers, this time only scoring 14.37M with 3.2/8 and 2/6 in the demos. However, its leadin program gameshow, Opportunity Knocks is doing it no favours, registering only 5.3M, 1.3/4 (18-49) and 1.3/4 (18-34). Following Dancing with the Stars, was the second season premiere of Eli Stone, this season has been critically acclaimed but this hasn't transpired to respectable ratings, Eli Stone dropped from 10.075M, 2.5/7 (18-49) and a 1.8/5 (18-34) in its first half hour to 7.568M, 2.0/5 and 1.4/4 its second. Averaging out to 8.82M, 2.3/6(18-49) and 1.6/5 (18-34).
NBC was dead last in viewers but tied with Fox for second place in the demos with the younger skewing The Biggest Loser scoring 7.5M, 3.1/8 (18-49) and 2.8 (18-34) (2 hour average). Law and Order: SVU followed, winning its timeslot in the key demos (9.4M, 3.7/10 and 3.3/10)
