Fox won Monday night with adults 18-49 thanks to big ratings
jumps from House and Lie to Me. According to Nielsen
overnight numbers, the net pulled an overall 3.1 rating/8 share with the demo,

a 2.8, while Castle jumped 14% from
its last new episode Jan. 10 to a 2.4 rating.
NBC took fourth place Monday night with an overall 1.9/5. Harry's Law and Chuck were both down a tenth of a ratings point vs. last week's
