THE RUNDOWN: Monday, January 10

Look for a review later in the day for NBC's new superhero series The Cape. And look below this post for a review of FOX's newest animated show Bob's Burgers.

ABC
8:00 The Bachelor
10:00 Castle #46 "Poof! You're Dead"
ABC has an all-new lineup including Week 2 of The Bachelor. Last year, The Bachelor showed some nice growth in its second episode so a bit of a jump wouldn’t be surprising. And if The Bachelor goes up, Castle is likely to follow especially with CBS in repeats.

Prediction: Bachelor – 9.6 million, 3.1/Castle – 10.0 million, 2.6

CBS

8:00 How I Met Your Mother #115 "Unfinished" (REPEAT)

8:30 Rules of Engagement #50 "The Bank" (REPEAT)

9:00 Two and a Half Men #162 "Three Girls and a Guy Named Bud" (REPEAT)

9:30 Mike & Molly #5 "Carl is Jealous" (REPEAT)

10:00 Hawaii Five-0 #6 "Ko'olauloa" (REPEAT)

After being new for a week, CBS Monday is back to repeats. These shows repeat well and that should continue to be true.

Prediction: Mother – 7.8 million, 2.4/Rules – 7.2 million, 2.2/Men – 11.3 million, 2.9/Mike&Molly – 8.5 million, 2.3/Hawaii – 8.0 million, 2.0

NBC

8:00 Chuck #63 "Chuck Versus Phase Three" (REPEAT)

9:00 The Cape #1/2 "Pilot/Tarot" (REPEAT)

NBC is airing repeats of the low-rated Chuck and new series The Cape. In an odd move, NBC is repeating the two hour premiere from Sunday night. Sunday’s numbers will give us a better indication but I wouldn’t expect much here.

Prediction: Chuck – 2.6 million, 0.8/Cape – 3.9 million, 1.1

FOX

8:00 Lie to Me #44 "Funhouse"

9:00 Lie to Me #45 "Rebound"

FOX is double pumping new episodes of Lie to Me as it nears the end of its season (and possibly series). Lie to Me seems to only dip a bit when House is a repeat but it may not do much at 8pm and get stronger at its usual 9pm time.

Prediction: Lie to Me 8:00 – 5.0 million, 1.6/Lie to Me 9:00 – 5.5 million, 1.9
