On Monday night, there was at least some new programming on every network. On FOX, Bones was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, The Following earned its early renewal it had gotten earlier in the day as it was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. This is the best performing FOX drama in quite awhile and it seems like people who are still watching now are going to stick with it. Over on ABC, the annual "Women Tell All" special of The Bachelor was down seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo was just down a tenth from last week's regular episode. 

On NBC, The Biggest Loser was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. One of the few shows above a 2 for NBC is going off in two weeks though The Voice will be back so that helps. At 10pm, Deception was up a tenth in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. Only two more weeks of this one. On CBS, a new Rules of Engagement surrounded by repeats performed respectably but obviously hit a season low. It's also worth noting that Mike & Molly's repeat outperformed encores of 2 Broke Girls and How I Met Your Mother.
