On Monday night, CBS had a decent Monday but every show was down some from last week which was the day after the Super Bowl. At 8pm, How I Met Your Mother took the biggest hit from last week's inflated number as it was down 1.3 million viewers and eight tenths in the demo. At 8:30pm, Rules of Engagement was down a million viewers and three tenths in the demo from last week's season premiere though the retention was much better this week. This remains one of the best companions CBS can find for their hits. At 9pm, 2 Broke Girls had the best week-to-week performance as it was down half a million viewers and just a tenth in the demo. At 9:30pm, Mike & Molly was down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 10pm, Hawaii Five-0 was down the same. 

Over on FOX, Bones started the night down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. Then at 9pm, The Following had a pretty troubling week four drop as it was down 1.2 million viewers and a rough half a demo point. Is this show fading already or was this just a mirage this week? Next week will go a long way towards telling whether this is headed in the Alcatraz direction or not. All things seemed good but this was a rough drop. I expect FOX will continue to plug the show as much as they possibly can and hope things don't continue to go south.

On ABC, The Bachelor continued to improve as it was up an impressive six tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. This show is having a very nice winter after last year's drops. It's easily outperforming most weeks of Dancing with the Stars, who would have thought? At 10pm, Castle was up a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo, coming closer to Hawaii Five-0 in the demo than it's been for awhile. Finally on NBC, The Biggest Loser was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Deception was up a tenth in viewers and the demo.
