Note: Last night’s Monday Night Football game (Chargers/Broncos) was simulcast on the CBS affiliate in San Diego. As a result, the CBS numbers may be a bit inflated and subject to more than typical adjustments in the finals.
NBC was number one with adults 18-49, while ABC won with total viewers.
On NBC, The Voice scored a 4.8 adults 18-49 rating, even with last week. Revolution garnered a 3.4 up 13% from last week's 3.0 among adults 18-49. This was a rare care of your predictions being way too pessimistic.
On CBS, How I Met Your Mother earned a 3.2, up from last week's 3.1 adults 18-49 rating. Partners scored a 2.1 up from last week's 1.9 adults 18-49 rating. 2 Broke Girls garnered a 3.3, down from last week's 3.4 among adults 18-49. Mike & Molly notched a 3.0 up from last week's 2.8 adults 18-49 rating. Hawaii Five-0 scored a 2.0, up from last week's 1.9 adults 18-49 rating. Ratings for CBS may be inflated due to local NFL coverage so there is not much point to making comparisons until the finals are released this afternoon.
On ABC, Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars garnered a 2.1 down 5% from last week's 2.2 adults 18-49 rating. Castle earned a 2.0 down 9% from last week's 2.2 adults 18-49 rating.
On FOX, MLB Baseball Playoffs scored a preliminary 1.3 adults 18-49 rating, but will definitely be adjusted in the finals.
On The CW, 90210 earned a 0.6 among adults 18-49, up 50% from a 0.4 for last week's season premiere. Gossip Girl garnered a 0.4 matching the season premieres' 0.4 last week.

Definitions:
Fast Affiliate Ratings: These first national ratings, including demographics, are available at approximately 11 AM (ET) the day after telecast, and are released to subscribing customers daily. These data, from the National People Meter sample, are strictly time-period information, based on the normal broadcast network feed, and include all programming on the affiliated stations, sometimes including network programming, sometimes not. The figures may include stations that did not air the entire network feed, as well as local news breaks or cutaways for local coverage or other programming. Fast Affiliate ratings are not as useful for live programs and are likely to differ significantly from the final results, because the data reflect normal broadcast feed patterns. For example, with a World Series game, Fast Affiliate Ratings would include whatever aired from 8-11PM on affiliates in the Pacific Time Zone, following the live football game, but not game coverage that begins at 5PM PT. The same would be true of Presidential debates as well as live award shows and breaking news reports.
Rating: Estimated percentage of the universe of TV households (or other specified group) tuned to a program in the average minute. Ratings are expressed as a percent.
Share (of Audience): The percent of households (or persons) using television who are tuned to a specific program, station or network in a specific area at a specific time. (See also, Rating, which represents tuning or viewing as a percent of the entire population being measured.)
Time Shifted Viewing – Program ratings for national sources are produced in three streams of data – Live, Live+Same Day (Live+SD) and Live+7 Day. Time shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs. Live+Same Day (Live+SD) include viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3:00AM local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing. Live+7 Day ratings include incremental viewing that takes place during the 7 days following a telecast.

@eridapo
Some of your DWTS and The Voice total viewers numbers look like they’ve been switched at birth. 2nd hour totals are flopped.
Expect a ton of post-apocalyptic pilots next season.
And expect most of them to fail (or does Revolution mean Jericho never happened)
Reminds me of the year there were 3 ‘invasion’ shows, invasion, surface, and the one on CBS – they all were good to my mind for different reasons – and all got canned.
“The Voice 4.1 11.76/ 4.8 12.95/ 2.2 13.97/ 2.3 14.04
DWTS 1.8 12.35/ 2.1 13.50/ 5.0 13.05/ 5.2 13.40″
eridapo, I think you may have got the 9pm demos for The Voice and DWTS a little mixed unless both dramatically changed at 9pm!
@Petar Ivanov I don’t think Partners really kill 2 BG. People switch channel and tune in if they like the show. Does Last Resort have any impact on Grey’s Anatomny? Obviously no.
Wasn’t this week suppose to be THE week when The Voice ratings were set to tumble down (seeing as it didn’t happen last week)…haterz eat crow!
@Daw Johnson
The Event had fallen well into the 2s by this point in its first season. Revolution was already pacing ahead, and the INCREASE this week totally puts it in a better position.
Not even a comparison between the two.
Yup, it’s time to move onto the Studio 60 comparisons!
@silvit
Yeah, that note wasn’t posted until after I commented, but that’s even worse news
Hopefully that was the last episode of Partners to air. One of the worst sitcoms this season (that I have seen). If they would have kept 2BG @ 8:30 and 2.5 Men @ 9, there Monday schedule would be better off. It was too early to move 2BG to the anchor postion after just one year. I think 2.5 men aired for a couple of seasons at 9:30 before it moved to 9 after Raymond went off the air.
90210 what a FLOP
Wasn’t this week suppose to be THE week when The Voice ratings were set to tumble down (seeing as it didn’t happen last week)…haterz eat crow!
Max and all his ridiculously crowing ilk – get some therapy
Hmmm, interesting, I didn’t expect revolution to ever go up (even though I like the show)
It might actually mean that it will get to season 2.
@blue jay 72:
don’t feel too bad for britney. unlike christina aguilera, she’s still a successful recording artist and 15m payday.
simon has got to be dissapointed about xfactor ratings but the show is still fairing well enough to be #1 on fox and be renewed for a third seaon.
Editing my half hour posts… 9PM hour of Voice/DWTS go switch.
Revised.
The Voice 4.1 11.76/ 4.8 12.95/ 5.0 13.05/ 5.2 13.40
Revo 3.6 9.38/ 3.2 8.24
DWTS 1.8 12.35/ 2.1 13.50/ 2.2 13.97/ 2.3 14.04
Castle 2.1 11.47/ 1.9 10.28
90210 .6 1.14/ .5 .983
Gossip .4 .775/ .4 .750
H50 2.1 8.80/ 1.9 8.07
Good for partners. Saw most of it. It was funny, if a bit over the top. Want Krumholtz to do well.
don’t feel too bad for britney. unlike christina aguilera, she’s still a successful recording artist and 15m payday.
Also unlike Aguilera, she has a lousy singing voice, she’s mentally ill, and really needs to worry more about medication and her children
the voice ratings are so high, good for them
I didn’t like the first episode of Revolution so I quit watching it. I didn’t expect it to hit such ratings…
Castle seems to have developed a core, consistent fanbase as they post roughly 10m viewers each week – even when the lead in show DWTS, has been dropping in numbers this season. I think it’s hard to compare veteran shows with newcomers. Like anything else in life – the success of shows seems to be left to a myriad a factors: timeslot, character chemistry, story writing, network politics and fate!
I think 2 Broke Girls had its best episode so far. Absolutely HILARIOUS!!!! I seriously laughed my lungs out
Is H50 done? I know I’m done with DWTS.
