FOX won a very quiet Monday otherwise filled by repeats on much of the competition. House had a soft outing for an original episode, and Alcatraz followed its lead to set a series low, the second weekly decline in a row. Last year on this night, FOX averaged a 2.2 rating with a special Human Target (2.1) and Lie to Me (2.2).

NBC returned its regular schedule to the air last night, although the originally scheduled Fear Factor episode (featuring donkey semen and urine in its middle, ingestion segment) was pulled in favor of a repeat. Without an original Fear Factor and its animal fluids, Rock Center sunk back toward its series lows and a sub-1 rating despite facing two repeat dramas on CBS and ABC. Last year on this night, NBC averaged a 1.8 with its regular schedule of Chuck (1.7), The Cape (1.5) and Harry’s Law (2.1).
