NEW YORK -- Fox and CBS split a summer Monday of television, thanks to a Two and a Half Men repeat and another strong Hell's Kitchen.
"Men" was the night's top show in viewership with 9.1 million viewers and a 2.7 rating/8 share in the adults 18-49 demographic, according to preliminary estimates released Tuesday by Nielsen Media Research. It was up against Hell's Kitchen (8.6 million, 4.0/11), which was the night's top show in adults 18-49.
Not doing as well was ABC's two-hour Six Degrees of Martina McBride (4.2 million, 1.3/4), which came in fourth in the demographic between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. NBC's Age of Love (5.4 million, 2.1/6) fell in adults 18-49 week to week but held steady in viewership. Everything at 8 p.m. was a repeat and at 10 p.m. a repeat CSI: Miami (8.8 million, 2.5/7) won in viewership and adults 18-49.
Monday averages: CBS (7.5 million, 2.2/7); Fox (6.4 million, 2.9/9); NBC (5.2 million, 1.8/6); ABC (4.7 million, 1.6/5); and the CW (1.8 million, 0.7/2).

Despite its critical drubbing, Victoria Beckham's NBC special pulled in OK numbers Monday night.
Victoria Beckham: Coming to America, which was originally supposed to be a six-episode series but was whittled down into a one-hour special, averaged 4.9 million viewers and a 2.2 rating/7 share in the adults 18-49 demo, according to preliminary estimates released Tuesday by Nielsen Media Research. That was good enough to give the special the demo win in its 8 p.m. slot. A repeat of ABC's Wife Swap (5.3 million, 2.0/6) took the hour in total viewers.
At 9 p.m., a new episode of Fox's Hell's Kitchen (8.2 million, 4.0/11) posted its second-highest demo and viewers numbers so far this season. The show easily won the hour -- and the night -- in both metrics.
A new episode of NBC's Age of Love (4.5 million, 1.8/5) posted its lowest demo rating in its five weeks on the air, though it did grow from a 1.7/5 in its first half-hour to a 1.9/5 in its second.
