Monday night had the final performance night for The Voice. It was actually down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week for a series low as far as finale nights go. This was a disappointing performance especially considering the competition wasn't too strong. At 10pm, The Sing-Off was down 1.1 million viewers and four tenths in the demo from last week's premiere. The drop isn't too bad when you consider last week's installment also aired in the 9pm hour. Over on ABC, week two of The Great Christmas Light Fight followed two low-rated specials. It was down 1.5 million viewers and four tenths in the demo as it looks like it will have a quickly forgotten holiday run. On FOX, it looks like last week's rise for Almost Human may have been a mirage as it was down eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low.

Only CBS had its full regular lineup. At 8pm, How I Met Your Mother was down three tenths in viewers and the demo for a season low. It's been hovering right around a 3.0 demo all season, this is the first time it's been significantly below that. At 8:30pm, 2 Broke Girls was down nine tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo. The last time it was this low in the demo was its last time airing at 9pm. I think it'll bounce back a little bit after the new year. At 9pm, Mike & Molly was up 1.1 million viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week, when it was surrounded by repeats. At 9:30pm, Mom fell three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo, tying its series low. This show swings up and down more than most. At 10pm, Hostages was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for its best performance since October.
