In its penultimate week, Mike & Molly had a nice surge and now appears headed for solid series finale numbers next week. Both episodes were up three tenths in the demo and nearly a million viewers. This show still has a lot of life left in it so it's too bad that CBS decided to end it. NBC and FOX would kill to have comedies with numbers like this. At 9:30pm, The Odd Couple was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo from last Monday's episode. At 10pm, Person of Interest hit a series low but wasn't horribly off of last Tuesday's episode. On ABC, Dancing with the Stars was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo while Castle was up seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. On NBC, The Voice was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo while Blindspot was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Finally on FOX, Gotham was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo while Houdini & Doyle was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo as it is barely competing.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Mike & Molly (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Houdini & Doyle (FOX)
