On Monday night, ABC had the final performance night of Dancing with the Stars which jumped a strong 1.7 million viewers and six tenths in the demo for its best performance since the season premiere. Despite the strong lead-in, a sneak preview the new summer drama from Canada, Motive, tanked. This is a disappointing sign for a show ABC has promoted a lot because it couldn't even do well in a winning situation. Another new show hit the air on Monday as FOX began its burn off run of The Goodwin Games, which never made it on the schedule during the season. It was predictably very low surrounded by repeats of their already low-rated comedies. I still don't know why they didn't at least give it a chance in a tough season for them.

CBS aired the series finale of Rules of Engagement which ended after seven seasons and 100 episodes. It was down four tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo from its last airing when it followed a new episode. So goodbye to one of CBS's most reliable utility players, it had a good run. CBS also planned to air the season finale of Mike & Molly but it had a tornado theme so CBS pulled it in light of the tragedy in Oklahoma. It was replaced by a repeat and there is no word on when the episode will air. At 10pm, the season finale of Hawaii Five-0 was up 1.1 million viewers and two tenths in the demo. The show is Friday bound for next season. On NBC, The Voice was down half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo for a Monday low while Revolution was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo.
