As for the rest of NBC’s lineup, the jury’s still out. The heavily hyped “Chuck” (9.2 million, 3.6/9) came in second place at 8 p.m., not exactly overwhelming but giving NBC hope that it would build on its audience and gain eyeballs ahead of “Heroes.” It came out ahead of CBS’ “How I Met Your Mother” (8.1 million, 3.2/9) and the series premiere of the network’s “The Big Bang Theory” (9.5 million, 3.7/9). “Mother” was down in adults 18-49 compared with last season’s premiere (3.8/10), while “Big Bang” built on its lead-in and performed slightly above “The Class” (3.6/10) when it premiered last season at 8:30 p.m. Fox’s “Prison Break” (7.5 million, 3.3/9) was about even with last week.

ABC was the only Big Four network to show premiere-night increases in viewership and the coveted demographic thanks to “Dancing with the stars 21.2 million viewers, 5.8 rating/15 share in adults 18-49 from 8-9:30 p.m.
