On Monday night, ABC started with the final performance night of Dancing with the Stars. Though it was up 1.6 million viewers and three tenths in the demo from last week, it was down a very big 4.1 million viewers and 1.4 demo points from last fall's final performance show. All season long, this show has been way down and it looks like the finale will be no exception. At 9pm, the news was not good as You Deserve It got off to a worse start than last fall's instant bomb Skating with the Stars. Looks like ABC will be looking for a new filler next December. At 10pm, Castle was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from its last new airing which isn't a bad showing considering it didn't have a Dancing lead-in. Maybe it is becoming more self-sufficient.

Over on CBS, everything was down some but still solid. At 8pm, How I Met Your Mother was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 8:30pm, 2 Broke Girls was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo, still building on its lead-in and being very strong. At 9pm, Two and a Half Men was actually up a million viewers but down two tenths in the demo, which seems like an odd showing. At 9:30pm, Mike & Molly followed suit as it was up nine tenths in viewers but down two tenths in the demo. Finally at 10pm, Hawaii Five-0 was down 1.1 million viewers and a big half a demo point. The demo is a season low, but it still easily won the 10pm hour.

Over on NBC, The Sing Off was up a tenth in viewers and the demo while Rock Center with Brian Williams was down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. The demo is a series low for this non-starter newsmagazine and it's sure to get killed in its new Wednesday slot. On FOX, Terra Nova was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. After some ups and downs, this show is sliding towards its season finale in December. At 9pm, House rebounded a bit in total viewers as it was up nine tenths in viewers but it was still even in the demo.
