On Monday night, NBC had mixed results. The good news came at 8pm where the first Top 12 performance show of The Voice was down just three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Last year, The Voice had a long steady drop over the course of the season but this year, it is holding much better. The demo is actually the exact same as premiere week. The not as good news came at 10pm where Revolution was down two tenths in viewers and the demo for another series low. After staying remarkably high for the first part of fall, Revolution is showing some troubling signs as it has dropped significantly in recent weeks. NBC has only a couple more weeks of this before it goes on a long hiatus and maybe that's actually a good thing if this is the direction it is headed.

On CBS, How I Met Your Mother was up eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo, rebounding some from its troubling drop last week. The worst performance came from Partners which dropped two tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo for a series low even with the lead-in up. After a couple weeks of steady or upward ratings, this showing is a reminder that Partners is not here to stay. At 9pm, 2 Broke Girls was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. The best news probably came from Mike & Molly which was up four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo, showing great retention and actually out-gaining 2 Broke Girls in total viewers. That may be more of a problem for Girls than a great thing for Mike & Molly but it's still worth noting. At 10pm, Hawaii Five-0 was up half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo.

ABC's lineup was very steady week-to-week as Dancing with the Stars was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo while Castle was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo, landing it in third in the latter category yet again. On FOX, Bones was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, tying a series low in the demo. The Mob Doctor was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. Remind me why this is still on?
