CBS and ABC tied for the nightly lead on Labor Day, with just a handful of original shows airing on the Big Five broadcast networks.
CBS and ABC each averaged a 1.7 adults 18-49 rating and 5 share, according to Nielsen overnights. Between them, the two networks have won every Monday this summer.
CBS had the evening's No. 1 show with a rerun of "The Big Bang Theory," which averaged a 2.2. CBS's repeat of "Two and a Half Men" was the night's No. 2 show at 2.1.
ABC's "Bachelor Pad," airing from 8 to 10 p.m., was the top-rated original show, averaging a 2.0.
Meanwhile, for the night, Univision placed third at 1.6/4, NBC was fourth at 1.3/3, Fox fifth at 1.0/3 and CW sixth at 0.3/1.
As a reminder, all ratings are based on live-plus-same-day DVR playback. Seven-day DVR data won’t be available for several weeks. Thirty-seven percent of Nielsen households have DVRs.
At 8 p.m. ABC was first with a 2.0 for "Pad," followed by Univision with a 1.7 for "Hasta que el Dinero Nos Separe." CBS was third with a 1.4 for a repeat of "How I Met Your Mother" and "CBS Fall Preview" (1.4), NBC fourth with a 1.2 for a repeat of "America's Got Talent," Fox fifth with a 1.0 for a "House" rerun and CW sixth with a 0.3 for a repeat of "90210."
CBS took the lead at 9 p.m. with a 2.2 for repeats of "Men" and "Bang," while ABC and Univision tied for second at 2.0, ABC for more "Bachelor Pad" and Univision for "Soy Tu Dueña." NBC was fourth with a 1.2 for more "Talent," Fox fifth with a 1.0 for a repeat of "Lie To Me" and CW sixth with a 0.3 for a "Gossip Girl" rerun.
At 10 p.m. CBS and NBC tied for first at 1.5, CBS for a repeat of "CSI: Miami" and NBC for "Dateline." That left ABC and Univision tied for third at 1.2, ABC for "Dating in the Dark" and Univision for "Cristina."
CBS led the night among households with a 3.8 average overnight rating and a 6 share. NBC was second at 3.2/5, ABC third at 3.1/5, Fox fourth at 2.1/3, Univision fifth at 1.9/3 and CW sixth at 0.5/1.
