On Monday night, ABC saw The Bachelor continue to recover nicely after its early season struggles. It was up two tenths in viewers and the demo for another season high. This may be its peak with the finale of Celebrity Apprentice against it next week and The Voice after that. At 10pm, Castle was helped a bit from the lead-in. It was even in viewers and up two tenths in the demo. It was another bad Monday for FOX where Gotham was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, hitting a series low for a third straight week. This show is moving in the wrong direction. Sleepy Hollow was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. I think this show's renewal chances are iffy with this ever dropping number and the lack of support at the winter TCA tour.

Over on CBS, 2 Broke Girls was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Mike & Molly was down six tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 9pm, Scorpion was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo from its last airing three weeks ago. It has been very consistent for CBS. At 10pm, NCIS: Los Angeles was up six tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Finally, NBC aired a Celebrity Apprentice clip show at 8pm and that seemed to hurt the 9pm episode. It fell a big two million viewers and seven tenths in the demo from last week's two hour edition. In retrospect, it seems like a pretty bad idea for NBC to have aired the clip show. At 10pm, State of Affairs was down seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Bachelor (ABC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Sleepy Hollow (FOX)
