Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles on Monday night targeted an audience of 6.34 million total viewers. While that marks a 10 percent drop in viewership from the first season finale, the show did top the 8 pm time slot in the important 18-49 demo, even besting Deal or No Deal (the night's most-watched program).

Over on the CW, Gossip Girl had 3.16 million folks buzzing (dipping 220K week-to-week), while One Tree Hill (at 3.24 mil) enjoyed a slight uptick.

At 9 pm, Prison Break held steady at 6.48 mil, and nearly matched CBS' sitcom reruns in the 18-49 demo. - Matt Mitovich
