Thanks to Dancing With the Stars season 7 finale topping the November TV ratings, ABC drew its largest primetime audience so far this fall, managing to edge out CBS.

CBS at second place had a quiet night with NCIS (18.2 million) and The Mentalist (15.9 million), with the special 'Let's go to L. A.' episode at 10.4-million, earned the show's paltriest numbers of the year.

Fox's managed 12.5 million viewers for its' House 68-minute special episode (guest-starring recent Damages Emmy-winner Zeljko Ivanek), followed by Fringe with 8.7 million viewers, a low season tally for both.

However, weak season ratings for The Biggest Loser: Families and Law & Order: SVU spelt bad news for NBC.
