On Monday night, CBS had the return of Mike & Molly for its final batch of episodes. Airing at 8pm, it had a new series low in the demo but it was just slightly below recent Supergirl episodes and solid in total viewers. At 9pm, the season finale of Scorpion was up six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It's safe to say this show had somewhat of a sophomore slump in the ratings but it did stabilize through the second half of the season. At 10pm, NCIS: Los Angeles was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. On NBC, The Voice was down six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo as it continued its spring swoon. Despite the lead-in being down, Blindspot was up a tenth in viewers and the demo.

On FOX, a repeat of Gotham didn't make any difference to Lucifer as the freshman drama ended its season on a positive note, rising three tenths in viewers and staying even in the demo. This has been a very pleasant surprise for FOX. Now the question is will it air in the fall or return in January again? Finally on ABC, Dancing with the Stars rebounded some from last week's drop as it rose eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 10pm, Castle was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, returning to the 1.1 demo it was getting for many weeks before last week.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Lucifer (FOX)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: The Voice (NBC)
