TV ratings: 'Hawaii Five-0,' 'The Event' solid Monday; 'Lone Star' gets drilledSeptember 21, 2010 11:42 AM ET
The 2010-11 season kicked into full gear Monday with decidedly mixed results for new shows. "Hawaii Five-0," "Mike & Molly" and "The Event" all performed pretty well, but FOX's "Lone Star" got hammered in a highly competitive 9 p.m. timeslot.
Thanks to a strong premiere from "Dancing With the Stars" -- the evening's most-watched show -- ABC won the first night of the season. It averaged 17.7 million viewers and an 11.3 rating/18 share among households in primetime. CBS (11.9 million, 7.4/11) was a healthy second. NBC took third with 8.4 million viewers and a 5.1/8, beating out FOX (7.3 million, 4.3/7). The CW (2 million, 1.3/2) trailed.
ABC also led among adults 18-49, though the race was closer. It scored a 4.2 rating in the demographic to beat out CBS' 3.8. NBC, 2.8, edged FOX, 2.7, for third, while The CW came in at 1.0.
