Episode 2 of Fox's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles followed up a super-strong post-football performance Sunday with a sturdy one Monday.
The action-soaked movie spinoff drew 197,284 D-FW homes to win the 8 to 9 p.m. hour overall and tie the closing half-hour of ABC's Dance War, which ended at 8:30 p.m. Terminator ran a close second among advertiser-craved 18-to-49-year-olds, with NBC's competing Deal or No Deal topping that measurement by just two-tenths of a rating point (6,309 viewers).
Fox started Monday night with the return of Prison Break, which continued to show little appeal in D-FW despite being filmed here. PB had 107,166 total homes to finish fourth from 7 to 8 p.m. It also lagged badly among 18-to-49-year-olds, drawing less than half the audience for Terminator.
PB's scheduled third season finale is on Feb. 18th. That likely also will be the series finale in a strike-torn season during which production has shut down. Terminator, which went into production before the strike, has a limited number of episodes available and is scheduled to sign off -- for now at least -- with a two-hour March 3rd season finale.
Monday's biggest prime-time draw, a first run episode of CBS' CSI: Miami, amassed 297,143 homes. But CBS11's 10 p.m. newscast again failed to hold serve despite another huge lead-in advantage over rival stations. Instead Belo8 took the top spots in both total homes and with 25-to-54-year-olds, the main advertiser target audience for news programming. CBS11 respectively ran second and third.
Fox4 again had twin wins at 6 a.m., holding off a competitive Belo8, which rebounded with across-the-board victories at 5 and 6 p..m.
Belo8's 6 p.m. performance was particularly impressive. That newscast drew 226,511 total homes, making it the station's most-watched program of the day.
