TV ratings: FOX has a 'House' party Monday

The daylight savings curse hit the Nielsen ratings on Monday night, with NBC and FOX taking hits at 8 o'clock. FOX's "House" and "24," however, did well enough to give the network a win over a night of reruns on CBS.FOX drew 10.1 million viewers and a 6.0 rating/10 share in
households for the night, beating out CBS' 9.3 million and 5.9/10. ABC (7.5 million, 5.2/8) came in third. NBC (6 million, 3.8/6) took fourth, and The CW (1.9 million, 1.3/2) trailed.

FOX also led the adults 18-49 race with a 3.4 rating. CBS scored a 2.8 in the demo. ABC came in third with a 2.1, followed by NBC, 1.7, and The CW, 1.0.The daylight savings effect -- networks maintain ratings tend to go down when the clocks change and days get longer -- is a little tough to judge for Monday, since neither CBS nor ABC had regular, original programming (although both did reasonably well with their reruns and fill-ins).
