Gaining audience from its first hour to its second hour, ABC's "Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars" (13.4 million) won its time period and finished as Monday's most-watched TV series for the 5th week running, besting NBC's "The Voice" (12.2 million) in head-to-head competition by 1.2 million viewers. Among Adults 18-49, ABC's "Dancing" beat out Fox's dramas in the 2-hour time period by 40% (2.1/5 vs. 1.5/4).

A note about increasing DVR penetration and year-to-year rating comparisons: Year-to-year rating comparisons based on the Live + Same Day data stream are distorted by the level of DVR penetration in the Nielsen sample, which has jumped up to 46% currently, from 43% at the same point in 2011. More viewers are watching shows on their own timetables, which may not be reflected in the overnight next day numbers. The only truly valid year-to-year comparison would be one based on the Live + 7 Day metric, once those stats are released by Nielsen.
