'Castle' hits series high
The second week of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" dipped from its record-setting debut, while continuing to boost "Castle" to new heights.
"Dancing" (23 million, 5.6 adults 18-49 rating) was down 11% this week, while "Castle" (13.9 million, 3.5) dominated 10 p.m., eased by CBS airing a "CSI: Miami" repeat and up 12% to set another series high.
CBS landed in second place for the night despite only airing one original program -- "Rules of Engagement" (7.4 million, 3.0).
Fox placed third with a repeat "House" followed by "24" (8.5 million, 2.6), its series-ending announcement failing to boost its ratings.
NBC's "Chuck" (5.7 million, 2.1) was up 11%, while "Trauma" (4.7 million, 1.5) and "Law & Order" (6 million, 1.8) underperformed.
On The CW, "Life Unexpected" (2.0 million, 0.9) and "Gossip Girl" (1.7 million, 0.9).
