A dramatic episode of "Dancing with the Stars," featuring a fainting Marie Osmond, helped ABC to another easy Monday win.

Overall, ABC averaged a 10.6 rating/16 share, far ahead of the 7.9/12 for CBS. NBC had a 4.9/7 to come in a distant third, followed by FOX's 4.5/7 and the not-a-factor 1.6/2 for The CW.

ABC earned a 4.6 rating among adults 18-49, taking a narrow win in the key demographic over the 4.1 rating for CBS. NBC's 3.4 rating and the 2.5 rating for FOX followed. The CW had a 1.0 rating.

At 8 p.m., ABC got a 13.4/20 for the first hour of "Dancing with the Stars." CBS was second with the 5.6/8 averaged between "How I Met Your Mother" and "The Big Bang Theory." FOX's "Prison Break" nipped the 4.4/7 for "Chuck" on NBC. The CW had a 1.7 average between "Everybody Hates Chris" and "Aliens in America."

ABC stayed in first at 9 p.m. with "Dancing" (14.0/20) and "Samantha Who" (9.6/14). CBS remained second with "Two and a Half Men" and "Rules of Engagement," while NBC's "Heroes" had a lower-than-normal 6.3/10 for third. FOX's "K-Ville" did a 4.2/6 and held off "Girlfriends" on The CW.

It was an easy 10 p.m. win for CBS, with "CSI: Miami" delivering a 10.4/17, between than ABC's "The Bachelor," which had a 6.6/11 to outdistance the 4.0/6 for NBC's "Journeyman."
