My Thoughts: As expected, the return of new episodes led
to a major increase in viewership right off the bat Monday. How
I Met Your Mother enjoyed its best numbers of the season, and
CBS also scored with Two and a Half Men. ABC won the
night, however – as Dancing With the Stars performed as it
usually does…

While Dancing With the Stars couldn’t quite keep up with
American Idol, it did push ABC to second place overall.
