On Monday night, it was another pretty rough drop for Supergirl on CBS. The new drama fell another eight tenths in viewers and half a demo point. It is skewing older and has lost nearly five million viewers and 1.4 demo points since its premiere two weeks ago. Last week's drop was understandable, this one is more troubling as it hasn't made the splash CBS hoped it would. At 9pm, Scorpion was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. That ties a series low in viewers, but it held up quite well despite another big drop from the lead-in. At 10pm, NCIS: Los Angeles was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. Over on FOX, only Gotham was new and it was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

Over on ABC, Dancing with the Stars was up half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo for its best performance since the season premiere. It will likely rise again in the next two weeks. Castle could not capitalize however as it was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a new series low. I will not understand it at all if ABC keeps this show here at midseason. Put it on Tuesday at 10pm or Sunday nights and announce that it's the final season. It's time to put this show out to pasture. Finally on NBC, The Voice was down a tenth in viewers and the demo. It is holding up better as the season goes on than it usually does. At 10pm, the just renewed Blindspot was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. With Supergirl being the latest new show to start dropping hard, Blindspot's performance this season is even more impressive. It hasn't dropped below a 2.1 demo and every other new show has gone at least as low as a 1.8.

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