Fox dramas and 'Two and a Half Men' lead Monday

Fox won a close three-way race for first place in Monday's preliminary ratings, with the network and CBS and ABC all within a couple tenths of each other.
Very little drama in the numbers last night, most shows landed within a couple tenths of their last airing. Fox's "House" (12.2 million viewers, 4.7 preliminary adults 18-49 rating) was down a two from its last original, though "24" (11.2 million, 3.7) performed solid business.
CBS was back to firing on all four half-hour comedy cylinders, with "The Big Bang Theory" (9.8 million, 3.8) showing how to open the night, then "How I Met Your Mother" (9.2 million, 3.9), "Two and a Half Men" (14.4 million, 5.1) and "Rules of Engagement" (11 million, 4.1). The quartet matched or in most cases slightly exceeded their last original performances. "CSI: Miami" (13.4 million, 3.9) topped 10 p.m.
NBC's "Chuck" (5.6 million, 2.0) dropped a bit to a series low, while "Heroes" (6.3 million, 3.1) rose a few pegs.
On the CW, "Gossip Girl" (2.5 million, 1.2) rebounded from last week and also hit its best adults 18-34 rating since early January. "One Tree Hill" (2.3 million, 1.2) was unchanged.

This really isn't about anything.

And this new brand of potential bot is very confusing.
