PLAY BALL!
ABC scored a win on the first official night of the new TV season with
Monday Night Football and its flip-flopping coverage of the Giants-Saints and Redskins-Cowboys games. But the network's cheerleaders weren't the only ones whose chants of "Gimme a... chance!" did some good. NBC's sea-monster mash
Surface hooked 10.9 million viewers, and CBS' more-promising-than-its-commercials-led-me-to-expect
How I Met Your Mother actually improved on its lead-in,
The King of Queens. (
Mother attracted an audience of 10.6 million;
Queens, only 10.4 million, proving once and for all that

CSI: Miami (which slayed 18.6 million viewers).
