Monday night had the return of Mike & Molly to the CBS lineup. But first at 8pm, How I Met Your Mother had a big jump of nine tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo for its best numbers since the season premiere. I'm not really sure what explains this huge jump but it's a great showing. At 8:30pm, 2 Broke Girls was up four tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. Considering how much its lead-in was up, this is a disappointing performance. Season four of Mike & Molly began at its new 9pm time and the results were adequate enough. At first glance, it seems like it might be a better anchor than 2 Broke Girls was. At 9:30pm, Mom was up eight tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo, tying a series low. This is also a disappointing performance as it seems like Mike & Molly is a better companion. At 10pm, Hostages was down a tenth in viewers and the demo for a series low. This show is just riding it out at this point. 

On NBC, The Voice was down 1.4 million viewers and seven tenths in the demo in a very disappointing showing for its first live show. At 10pm, The Blacklist was down two tenths in viewers and the demo for a series low. While it dipped below a 3 demo for the first, it had its best retention yet out of The Voice so that's worth noting. Over on ABC, Dancing with the Stars was up four tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Castle was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. FOX started out with Bones  down six tenths in viewers and two tenths int he demo. It has one more Monday week before it moves to Friday. At 9pm, Sleepy Hollow was new for the first time in three weeks but it was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. This show seems to be following a very similar path as The Following.
