its Monday night lead Averages a 4.3 in 18-49s against returning '24' Jan 13, 2009 CBS’s Monday lineup maintained its lead last night, even against stronger competition from Fox’s “24,” which held up nicely from Sunday’s season debut. Buoyed by series-best performances from “The Big Bang Theory” and “How I Met Your Mother,” CBS averaged a 4.3 adults 18-49 rating and 11 share, according to Nielsen overnights, just ahead of Fox’s 4.1/10 for the night. “Bang” led off with a series-high 4.4 rating, up 7 percent over its previous series high of 4.1 set in its most recent outing last month. “Mother,” at 8:30 p.m., also hit a new series high of 4.8, bettering its old mark by 0.2. Both shows have been gaining momentum for the past two months, especially after ABC’s competing “Dancing with the Stars” went off the air in November. “24,” airing another two-hour episode, nearly matched part one of its premiere Sunday night, slipping by just 0.1. 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. Twenty-eight percent of Nielsen households have DVRs.
