Fast National ratings for Monday, June 20, 2011.
ABC’s “The Bachelorette” and “Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition” were both flat-to-down-slightly on Monday night, but still held enough of their audiences to give the network comfortable wins for the evening.
Among adults 18-49, ABC averaged a 2.2 rating for the night, holding off the 1.7 rating for FOX in the key demographic. CBS and NBC both posted 1.3 ratings to tie for third. The CW averaged a 0.3 rating.
Overall, ABC averaged an estimated 6.96 million viewers and a 4.6 rating/8 share. NBC was second with 5.79 million viewers and a 3.8/6, which nipped the 3.6/6 and 5.46 million viewers for CBS.

8 p.m. – The first hour of ABC’s “Bachelorette” averaged 7.34 million viewers and a 2.2 rating among adults 18-49 to control the 8 p.m. hour.

CBS’ “Two and a Half Men” and “Mike & Molly” averaged 6.1 million viewers for second overall and third in the key demo.

10 p.m. – CBS’ “Hawaii Five-0” repeat and NBC’s new “Law & Order: Los Angeles” were in a dead head with 6 million viewers in the 10 p.m. hour.
