Monday night had the season finale of the just-renewed Celebrity Apprentice. It was up 1.1 million viewers and three tenths in the demo from last week's one hour episode. It faded a bit down the stretch but it was up from the last edition two years ago. At 10pm, the season finale of State of Affairs was up half a million viewers and even in the demo. This show has no shot of returning next season, but nothing has been made official. Next week, The Voice and The Night Shift take over Mondays. Over on ABC, The Bachelor was up three tenths in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. The viewer total was a season high. At 10pm, Castle was up 1.1 million viewers and even in the demo as it skewed much older this week for whatever reason.

Things went pretty well for FOX after some bad weeks. Gotham was up six tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo for a nice rebound. The trajectory was looking bad so this was an important recovery. At 9pm, Sleepy Hollow was up six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. Its season finale is next week before The Following returns to the timeslot. Finally, CBS started with 2 Broke Girls down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Mike & Molly was dead even with last week. A Stevie Wonder Grammy special did alright in total viewers, but skewed pretty old with a low 1.4 demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Gotham (FOX)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: State of Affairs (NBC)
