Monday night saw big numbers for the next to last week of How I Met Your Mother. It had a big jump of 1.2 million viewers and six tenths in the demo. It should easily go over a 4 demo for the one hour series finale next week. The rest of the lineup only improved slightly. At 8:30pm, 2 Broke Girls was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Things could get ugly when this show has to take over the 8pm slot. At 9pm, Mike & Molly was up a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo while Mom was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Intelligence was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. On ABC, week two of Dancing with the Stars was down seven tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. This is not a bad drop from a decent debut. At 10pm, Castle was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. 

On NBC, The Voice fell back after last week's jump. It was down six tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo. The better news for NBC came at 10pm where The Blacklist was down two tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo despite the lead-in being down. This is another good sign that this show is going to be OK when NBC inevitably moves it from this slot next season. FOX's lineup continues to get completely lost. At 8pm, Bones was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Hard to believe it was actually doing better on Friday but maybe FOX has moved this show one too many times. At 9pm, The Following was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo.
