Fox and CBS tied the night while ABC led among total viewers. Most shows roughly on par compared to their previous performances, though ABC's lineup hit season highs and NBC's "Heroes" sunk to a new low.

Fox's "House" (12.9 million viewers, 5.1 adults 18-49 rating) and "Lie to Me" (7.8 million, 2.9) were both down just slightly.

CBS was steady for its "Playbook" episode of "HIMYM" (8.4 million, 3.5). "Accidentally on Purpose" (7.8 million, 3.0) and "Two and a Half Men" (14.1 million, 4.8) were up a bit. "Big Bang Theory" (13.5 million, 5.1) climbed 9%. "CSI: Miami" (13.5 million, 3.8) slumped a tad after last week's crossover.

As its fall finale nears, ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" (18.8 million, 3.9) hit a season high among viewers. "Castle" (10.9 million, 2.6) reached highs among viewers and the adult demo.

NBC's "Heroes" (5.1 million, 2.2) and "Trauma" (5.2 million, 1.8) continued to struggle, with "Heroes" reaching another series low. Though "Jay Leno Show" (4.5 million, 1.4) jumped 17% this week with "New Moon" co-star Taylor Lautner as guest.

The CW's "Gossip Girl" (2.6 million, 1.2) and "One Tree Hill" (2.2 million, 1.2) returned to their usual numbers as last week's boost.
