On Monday night, FOX's lineup remained on top but was down some from last week against limited competition. How will it do next week when NBC is stronger and CBS is all new with their hit lineup? At 8pm, House was down a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo while Alcatraz was down six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. If both of these shows stay at these levels, that's a success. But it's also a big "if" considering the competition coming next week. We'll know more then. 

NBC aired its filler Monday lineup for the last time before its last best hope (The Voice/Smash) launch next week. Who's Still Standing? was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. This show could certainly play a filler role again sometime as its ratings weren't bad. After a last-minute Fear Factor repeat that aired instead of a controversial episode, Rock Center with Brian Williams was down big from its Republican Debate numbers last week but close to where it was a few weeks ago. It will head to Wednesdays at 9pm where it is very likely to get clobbered. Over on ABC, The Bachelor was down a tenth in viewers and the demo. This show could take a hit against The Voice next week.
