On Monday night, Supergirl flew to the CW and had a solid start with 3.1 million viewers and a 1.1 demo. This puts it just behind The Flash for tops on the CW right now. It also hit a 1.3 demo four times on CBS last year so this was a solid start. CBS may have said goodbye to Supergirl but they had a promising premiere on their own. At 8pm, The Big Bang Theory was up a tenth in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. Kevin Can Wait followed and was down nine tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Then 2 Broke Girls returned with an hour long episode in the 9pm hour. It returned to a solid 6.4 million viewers and 1.7 demo. CBS will definitely take these kinds of numbers but the lead-in situation gets a little murkier in a couple weeks when The Big Bang Theory heads back to Thursdays. At 10pm, Scorpion was down 1.2 million viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low in its first week only airing in the 10pm hour.

On NBC, The Voice was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week's one hour episode. Week two of Timeless had a sizable stumble, dropping 1.4 million viewers and four tenths in the demo from its so-so debut. It needed to have a decent hold thanks to a premiere that gave it very little wiggle room and this was not a good week for it. It seems likely to be one and done unless things turn around and this doesn't seem like a show where that will happen. On ABC, Dancing with the Stars was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a season low. It led into week two of Conviction, which showed no more signs of life than week one. It was down a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. It already premiered lower than dud Notorious and now it dropped more in week two. I still think it will linger here for awhile and not get pulled instantly but this probably is the fall's biggest disappointment among new shows. Finally on FOX, Gotham was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Lucifer was even in viewers but down a tenth in the demo for a series low.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Supergirl (CW)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Timeless (NBC)
