A big night across the board, but particularly for Ch9 as it slide across in front thanks largely due to solid performances from 60 Minutes (3rd – 1,178,000) and House Husbands (5th – 1,044,000). A strong run from the double of Modern Family (7:30pm 11th – 822,000; 8pm 4th – 1,047,000) for Ch10 – the first time it’s had anything in the Top 5 for ages. Dangerous Remedy (17th – 636,000) suffers at the hands of the rest of the 8:30pm programming – as does Homeland (16th – 650,000).
