"House" kept most of those viewers locked to FOX at 9pm (22,57 million), while "Dancing with the Stars" results show was a solid second with 16,17 million viewers.

Two 10 p.m. news magazines focused on the Virginia Tech tragedy. ABC's Primetime however sparked stronger viewer interest with 11,34 million viewers vs. 48 Hours Mystery on CBS with 6,49 million.
