Monday night had several finales including the big reveal of the Mother on How I Met Your Mother after eight seasons. That show spiked a big 1.6 million viewers and eight tenths in the demo for its best number since February 18. The final season is next year. After a repeat of The Big Bang Theory, the season finale of 2 Broke Girls was up nine tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. Mike & Molly was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Hawaii Five-0 closed out the night down a tenth in viewers and the demo as it finished in third yet again.

On ABC, Dancing with the Stars started up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo while the season finale of Castle was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Castle has reliably won this hour in recent weeks but it will have new competition on NBC and maybe CBS in the fall. On NBC, The Voice was down nine tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo for a Monday low. At 10pm, Revolution was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. I fear for this show on Wednesdays at 8pm. Special airings of Hell's Kitchen on FOX were close to its Tuesday numbers.
