On Monday night, CBS had its first Monday without the cancelled Partners but it didn't make much of a difference. At 8pm, How I Met Your Mother was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. A repeat of Two and a Half Men was up from Partners' numbers last week. It did slightly help 2 Broke Girls which was up eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best numbers since October 15. At 9:30pm, Mike & Molly was up a tenth in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Hawaii Five-0 was up a million viewers and a tenth in the demo for a season high. Of course a 2.2 demo is low compared to last year but it has slowly been recovering its audience from the 1.8 season premiere demo. 

NBC saw a dramatic fall for The Voice which was down a million viewers and seven tenths in the demo for a season low on Monday. Like past years, it seems as though the actual "competition" once the blind auditions, battle rounds, etc are over means lower ratings. There was better news at 10pm though where Revolution was down a tenth in viewers but even in the demo despite a much lower lead-in. On ABC, both shows were up as Dancing with the Stars was up half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo in its penultimate week. At 10pm, Castle was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. All three 10pm dramas were at least a 2.0 demo this week for the first time in awhile. On FOX, Bones was up a tenth in viewers and the demo while The Mob Doctor was up the same.
