Last night’s Monday Night Football game (Panthers/Eagles) was simulcast on the NBC affiliate in Charlotte. As a result, the NBC numbers may be inflated and subject to more than typical adjustments in the finals.
NBC was number one with adults 18-49, and with total viewers.
On NBC, The Voice earned a 4.2 adults 18-49 rating, up 14% from last week's 3.7 adults 18-49 rating. Revolution scored a 2.9 among adults 18-49, up 12% from last week's series-low 2.6. Your predictions were a little pessimistic.
On CBS, How I Met Your Mother earned a 3.4 among adults 18-49, up 17% from last week's 2.9. 2 Broke Girls scored a season high 4.0 among adults 18-49, up 18% from last week’s 3.4. Mike & Molly earned a season-high 3.6 adults 18-49, up 24% from last week's 2.9. Hawaii Five-O notched a season-high 2.3 adults 18-49 rating, up 5% from last week’s 2.2.
On ABC, the one hour Dancing with the Stars performance finale scored a 2.6 adults 18-49 rating, up 8% from a 2.4 for last week’s two hour episode but down 26% from a 3.5 for last fall’s performance finale. The season premiere of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition earned a 1.3 adults 18-49 rating down 7% from a 1.4 for its previous season finale on Friday, January 13, 2012. A second hour of the show earned a 1.2 adults 18-49 rating, way down from Castle’s typical performance in the time period.
On FOX, Bones scored a 2.3 among adults 18-49, up 15% from last week's 2.0. The Mob Doctor garnered a 1.2, up 33% from last week's 0.9 adults 18-49 rating.
On the CW, 90210 earned a 0.5 adults 18-49 rating, up 25% from last week's 0.4. Gossip Girl scored a 0.4 adults 18-49 rating, even with 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.

Everything did great and lol @ DW.
CBS uptick all thanks to the incredible The Big Bang Theory. Lifted the entire night.
Is Charlotte a large market? Should it make much difference to NBC’s numbers?
Damn, what gave CBS the big boost? Solid numbers all around even if NBC adjusts down a bit.
YES GO CBS
I am so glad for HIMYM & 2BG
Great to see DWTS’s ratings go up, it was a great show last night. I hope Tony & Melissa win tonight!
One of the least appealing Monday Night Football games in years and you see the direct result in the broadcast ratings.
Oh man, Extreme Makeover is going to be a terrible lead in for Castle next week.
Wow – so a Big Bang repeat bumps up the whole night considerably. That’s great for CBS and shows how much of a mistake they made moving Men and leaving Monday’s so vulnerable when it faced the biggest competition of any night from the monster that is Mondays The Voice.
Wonder if The Voice and Revolution will fall by much in the finals? And I wonder how much no Castle gave both Revolution and HFO little bumps?
@taylor
The Big Bang Theory !!!
Look at how those numbers raised the entire night.
Very nigh for everyone. The Fox increase is very surprising though, but I am very happy for Bones, it deserves that! Revolution did very well as well and CBS exploded thanks to the big bang theory. Why even bother to put another show there, just leave big bang repeats there, it boosts the whole night. Very happy for five-0, it has been having a very positive trend!
@Billy
didn’t BBT repeat last week as well? i’m sure it helped but these gains are huge!
so all 2BG needs to be a hit is a bridge between the show and HIMYM
and on 17th december CBS airs 2 new eps of HIMYM, 2BG will go way further!
Maybe CBS should move TBBT to Monday next season and put HIMYM on Thursday at 8.
Seems almost too high for CBS. Will it adjust down?
If CBS does four comedies on Thursday next year, will one of its Monday shows get a slot? I figure that CBS will order one more season of “Men” (and “Mother,” for that matter), move “Men” to Thursdays at 9:00, and sandwich two comedies in between that show and “Bang.” I’d guess it wouldn’t be a Monday show, since “Mother” has to end soon and it probably wants as much exposure as possible for a new show before moving it. Then again, what does it do when “Men” ends?
Reserve comment for NBC
Nice to see Bones 2.3 (Angie brought it home last night) & MD 1.2 (the best show you’re not watching)
DWTS 2.6 only high point for ABC as both EMHE failed to deliver
CW again off the radar
WAY TO GO CBS! A rerun of TBBT 3.2, 2BG 4.0, M&M 3.6 & H50 2.3 SEASON HIGHS
UNREAL numbers for the CBS comedies!
Just what if they had original TBBT on Monday nights!!!
Every thing an ALL NETS did GREAT!
WOW this is like the best Monday this season!
Hell yeah, Revolution, was hoping for a 3.0 or above but that’s still a nice number. I think it will be fine come March. They need to get it up on Netflix asap.
Geez, a 3.2 for a REPEAT. That’s nuts. Even for a new episode of a comedy that’s a great number. MUCH cheaper and more profitable for CBS to just air repeats in that slot from now on.
One of the best nights in recent memory. Look at what a better lead-in for 2BG can do for CBS’s entire night–everything was up substantially. FOX has to be pretty darn happy with that number for Bones–doesn’t it have a chance of being the number one drama there this week? (Not even going to bother with Mob Doctor, but looks like a rising tide lifts all boats).
The only network left out of the fun is ABC (and to a certain extent, CW), but Dancing hitting the mid-2s is a decent note to go out on, methinks.
