It may be the week of Christmas but Monday night still had a few TV events and episodes worth noting. NBC aired an America's Got Talent holiday special that did well but not quite as well as it does in the summer. It led into a preview of The Wall, which skewed younger and did OK for a preview. It will air Tuesdays at 8pm in January, leading into This is Us. CBS started things out with an Oprah Winfrey interview with Michelle Obama. It did well in total viewers but skewed old. It led into Man with a Plan at a special time and it was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a series low. 2 Broke Girls aired at a time that will become its permanent time in February when Superior Donuts premieres. It was down eight tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 10pm, Scorpion was up half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. On ABC, the season finale of the short run of The Great Christmas Light Fight was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. I imagine it will be back for another run next December.
