Week three started with the newbies slipping a little bit more. On CBS, The Big Bang Theory started things out down six tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. It's hard to tell if this show is slowing down a little bit or if it's the Monday competition. We'll have to see when it returns to Thursday. After an incredible week two hold, Scorpion did not hold up as well in week three. It was down 1.5 million viewers and six tenths in the demo. This is a pretty steep drop, but maybe it's just making up for last week's hold. We'll have to see next week. The news was not good at 10pm where NCIS: Los Angeles fell eight tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo for another series low. While it's still a better option than Hostages or Intelligence were last year, CBS had to be expecting more from this show. On ABC, Dancing with the Stars was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It was the only show on Monday that went up week-to-week. At 10pm, Castle was down nine tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week's season premiere.

NBC easily won the night in the demo again, but both shows were down. At 8pm, The Voice was down half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo as the blind auditions ended. At 10pm, The Blacklist was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. This was its lowest performance with a Voice lead-in yet. It's still strong, but I think NBC would like to see it a little bit stronger before it flies on its own later in the season. Finally on FOX, week three of Gotham was down 1.1 million viewers and three tenths in the demo. This wasn't a horrible third week drop, but FOX needs it to stabilize soon. At 9pm, Sleepy Hollow was down half a million viewers and even in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Dancing with the Stars (ABC)

LOSER OF THE NIGHT: NCIS: Los Angeles (CBS)
