>CBS Monday was all repeats last night but still managed to win the night with a 2.7 rating from 8-11 pm.  Freshman hit 2 Broke Girls was particularly impressive at a 3.3 rating, the highest rated CBS show last night and the highest rated on any broadcast network last night.  Not bad for a repeat.

ABC is missing Dancing with the Stars as it always does after Thanksgiving.  The classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas did fine with a 2.5 rating, good for second in the 8 pm hour.  However, the already rejected game show You Deserve It fell to a fourth place 1.4 rating in the 9 pm hour.  Castle (1.3) was a repeat last night..  

ABC Mon    9.19 9.26 10.3 1010 1017 1024 1031 11.7 1114 1121 1128
Dancing St 4.0  3.3  3.1  3.0  3.3  3.2  2.8  3.4  3.2  3.5  —
You Deserve It                                          1.7  1.4*
Castle     3.2  3.1  2.5  2.1  2.5  2.4  2.7  2.4  —  2.3  1.3R

The Sing-Off finale finally came and it looks like a preliminary 1.7 rating in the fast nationals.  But the New Orleans NBC station carried the Giants-Saints game last night in the Big Easy, and NBC’s numbers could come down one tenth of a rating point in the official nationals.  (About 20 extra 18-49 rating points for the game in 0.561% of the country translates to a little over a tenth of a rating point nationally).  At 10 pm, the 1.2 rating for Rock Center will probably come down to a 1.1 in the official nationals, still tying a very low series high for the news magazine.
