Last night’s Presidential address threw viewers and networks for a loop.  Numbers were down all across the board.  After piecing together the ratings, it appears ABC narrowly won with the viewers while NBC was the victor with the demos.

• Two and a Half Men* (9.7 million, 3.4/9 in 18-49) beat out all of Monday’s originals.
• Dance War (9.4 million, 2.5/6) lost a little footing from last week.
• American Gladiators (8.5 million, 3.5/6) plunged 1.6 million into the water.
• How I Met Your Mother* (7.5 million, 2.6/7) saw a 400,000 boost.
• Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles* (6 million, 2.2/6) was down 2.6 mill.
• A special Gossip Girl (1.7, 0.7/2) went barely noticed on its new night.
