On Monday night, The Voice continued to excel as it was down just three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from its powerful debut. This is an awesome second week showing for the reality hit. The news was not as good for Revolution which fell six tenths in viewers and a troubling four tenths in the demo for a series low. This show is not being as impressive as it was in the fall and it didn't even have to contend with Hawaii Five-0 this week. There might be much criticism of NBC for benching this show for months, but just think what it would have done in NBC's horrible winter. It probably would have been worse, look at the Tuesday comedies.

Over on ABC, Dancing with the Stars was down six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo despite less competition. At 10pm though, the 100th episode of Castle was up 1.2 million viewers and a tenth in the demo, tying Revolution for the lead in the hour for the first time ever. It also tied Dancing in the demo so it was an all around good night for Castle. Over on FOX, Bones was up a tenth in viewers and the demo but The Following was down a tenth in viewers and the demo for a series low.
