Fast National ratings for Monday, November 11, 2013.
After a couple weeks behind “Castle” in total viewers, “The Blacklist” recaptured its 10 p.m. crown overall, posting week-to-week gains. Ultimately, that shift made very little difference as even a weak “Dancing with the Stars” helped ABC stay atop the Monday ratings overall and “The Voice” helped NBC to its normal commanding Monday win.
It was a mixed Monday for CBS’ comedies, with “2 Broke Girls” rising, but “Mike & Molly,” “Mom” and “How I Met Your Mother” all dipping.
In their last week paired together before next Monday’s “Almost Human” premiere, FOX’s “Bones” and “Sleepy Hollow” were steady.
And, finally, The CW’s “Hart of Dixie” and “Beauty and the Beast” added a chunk of viewers, but were unchanged in the key demo.
All numbers are, of course, subject to change, since some NFL preemptions are probably messing with the figures. [The CW had the Monday game in Miami. I’m not sure who had it in Tampa, or if even people would admit to watching the Buccaneers to make any difference.]
On to those numbers…
Among adults 18-49, NBC averaged a 3.5 rating for Monday night, easily beating FOX’s 2.3 rating in the key demographic. CBS was third with a 2.0 key demo rating, followed by ABC’s 1.8 key demo rating and the 0.4 key demo rating for The CW.
Overall, though, ABC averaged an estimated 11.7 million viewers and a 7.7 rating/12 share, edging out the 7.0/11 and 11.5 million viewers averaged by NBC for Monday primetime. There was a big drop to FOX’s 7.17 million viewers and 4.3/6, compared to the 4.4/7 and 6.79 million viewers for CBS. The CW averaged a 0.7/1 and 1.03 million viewers.
8 p.m. – “Dancing with the Stars” let ABC win the 8 p.m. hour overall with 12.3 million viewers, but finished fourth for the hour with a 1.7 key demo rating, way below last week’s numbers.
