Ratings Breakdown:

ABC ruled of the Monday overnights, finishing first in each of the six half-hours with its combination of Dancing With the Stars (13.0 rating/19 share from 8-10 p.m.) and a special edition of 20/20 with Diane Sawyer featuring the amazing Gabrielle Giffords (9.4/15). This was, no doubt, 20/20’s best performance of the season. Here is the half-hour breakdown for ABC last night:

Dancing With the Stars (ABC)
8:00 p.m.: 12.3/19 (#1)
8:30 p.m.: 13.1/19 (#1)
9:00 p.m.: 13.4/19 (#1)
9:30 p.m.: 13.2/19 (#1)

20/20 (ABC)
10:00 p.m.: 9.7/15 (#1)
10:30 p.m.: 8.8/15 (#1)

Note to Hope Solo: You are the weakest dancer of the four remaining contestants and it is time to leave like a good sport tonight.

Second-place CBS remains a force to reckon with from 8-10 p.m., with three of the four sitcoms (excluding Mike & Molly, which was flat) up from the year-ago evening. Take a look:

CBS/Monday
8:00 p.m. – How I Met Your Mother: 6.6/10 (#2) – up 10 percent
8:30 p.m. – 2 Broke Girls: 7.5/11 (#2) – up 47 percent from year-ago occupant Rules of Engagement
9:00 p.m. – Two and a Half Men: 9.5/14 (#2) – up 4 percent
9:30 p.m. – Mike & Molly: 7.8/11 (#2) – no change

Sophomore Hawaii Five-O finished second at 10 p.m., with a comfortable 7.5/12 in the overnights. Compared to one year earlier (6.9/11 on 11/16/10), that was up by nine percent. As always, CBS remains the network to beat among adults 18-49.

Third overall for the evening was Fox with its line-up of Terra Nova and House, each with a 4.8/ 7 in the overnights. Given the 31 percent erosion for House versus one year earlier (7.0/10 on 11/16/10 at 8 p.m.), it is time for Hugh Laurie to call it quits.

Next was NBC, which was barely on the map care of competition The Sing Off (#4: 2.7/ 4 from 8-10 p.m.) and episode three of minimally seen Rock Center with Brian Williams (#3: 2.9/ 5), which moves into the Wednesday 9 p.m. hour out of new comedy Are You There, Chelsea? effective on February 8. Here is the half-hour breakdown for The Sing Off:

The Sing Off (NBC)
8:00 p.m.: 3.0/ 5 (#4)
8:30 p.m.: 2.8/ 4 (#4)
9:00 p.m.: 2.6/ 4 (#4)
9:30 p.m.: 2.6/ 4 (#4)

The CW capped off the evening with its low-rated combination of Gossip Girl (#5: 1.2/ 2 at 8 p.m.), which the network needs to seriously retire, and recent entry Hart of Dixie (#5: 1.4/ 2 at 9 p.m.). While any growth from the lead-in is a positive, one year earlier former 9 p.m. time period occupant Gossip Girl was stronger with a 1.6/ 2 on 11/16/10.
