NBC remained on top on Monday night, but it was also on the upswing, as The Voice was up two tenths in viewers and the demo. That is a good sign for the performance shows as they usually drop at this point. At 10pm, The Blacklist was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week's season low. The Blacklist is really proving its mettle. If you look at this week a year ago, The Voice was much stronger with a 4.4 demo while Revolution could only manage a 2.6 demo (59% retention). But The Blacklist is doing better with a lower lead-in as it had 79% retention this week. The Blacklist appears to be more than just a timeslot hit.

Over on CBS, How I Met Your Mother was down six tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. That might seem like a big drop but last week was abnormally high so it has settled into where it usually is. At 8:30pm, 2 Broke Girls was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. At 9pm, week two of Mike & Molly was down half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo. It's looking like this isn't going to be any better of an anchor than 2 Broke Girls was. At 9:30pm, Mom was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a series low. It's still having pretty good retention but the raw numbers are slowly getting worse for this show. At 10pm, Hostages was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. CBS announced the season (and most definitely series) finale will air on January 6 with Intelligence launching sooner than planned. It will ave a sneak preview after NCIS on January 7 and settle into its new slot on January 13.

ABC had bad news as Dancing with the Stars sunk nine tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo for a series low. Dancing had never been below a 2.0 demo before but it fell hard. Having the performances and results on the same night has done nothing to help this tired franchise. Doing one cycle a year might though. At 10pm, Castle was down eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. Over on FOX, Bones aired its final Monday episode (for now) and was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. It will head to Fridays this week to make room for Almost Human. At 9pm, Sleepy Hollow was down a tenth in viewers and up a tenth in the demo from last week's low. How will it fare with Human as a lead-in instead of the reliable Bones?
