TV ratings: 'Who's Still Standing' improves for NBC, but CBS reruns lead Monday

Fast national ratings for Monday, Dec. 26, 2011

The day after Christmas brought NBC a bigger audience for the game show "Who's Still Standing?," although its adults 18-49 numbers are still fairly modest. CBS, however, led the broadcast networks on the night with a slate of repeats.

The Eye averaged 6.6 million viewers and a 4.1 rating/7 share in households in primetime, topping NBC's 5 million viewers and 2.9/5. ABC (3.8 million, 2.3/4) came in third. (Numbers for ABC and NBC may change some as affiliates in Atlanta and New Orleans, respectively, carried the "Monday Night Football" telecast.) FOX (2.9 million, 1.8/3) took fourth, and The CW trailed with 741,000 viewers and a 0.5/1.

CBS also led the adults 18-49 demographic with a 1.9 rating. NBC (1.4) was the only other net to break the 1.0 mark; ABC (0.9), FOX (0.8) and The CW (0.3) all fell below the line.
