Say what you will about NBC, but no one right now can touch its Monday night.
NBC: Remarkably, the network made a last-minute decision to preempt last night’s Revolution (which featured a bombing storyline) in favor of a NBC News Special about the Boston Marathon bombings–and the news special did a 3.1, almost a point higher than Revolution‘s recent numbers, and dominated at 10PM. (This may say something about how Revolution would do if NBC aired it without its lead-in’s protective shadow.) Meanwhile, THE VOICE hit a new season high 5.1, slightly higher than last week.
CBS: A lousy night of season lows after 3 weeks of reruns. The 2.6 for HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER was down 0.1, the 2.0 for RULES OF ENGAGEMENT was down 0.2, the 2.3 for 2 BROKE GIRLS was down a whopping 0.7, the 2.2 for MIKE & MOLLY was down 0.4, and the 1.8 for HAWAII 5-0 was down 0.3.
ABC: DANCING WITH THE STARS was up a tick to 2.2 from last week’s season low, while CASTLE was down a tick to 2.1.
FOX: Small moves, but in the wrong direction, as BONES and THE FOLLOWING both fell 0.1 to hit season lows of 1.9 and 2.1 respectively.
CW: The season return of OH SIT earned its title with a 0.4, but even that looked good next to the 0.2 for 90210, its first episode in 5 weeks.
Both NCIS shows and the FOX sitcoms are in reruns tonight, with the other networks airing mostly fresh episodes.
