Last night’s Monday Night Football game (Jets/Titans) was simulcast on the ABC affiliate in Nashville. As a result, the ABC numbers may be inflated and subject to more than typical adjustments in the finals.
CBS was number one with adults 18-49, and with total viewers.
On CBS, a special one-hour How I Met Your Mother earned a 3.4, up two tenths from last week's 3.2. 2 Broke Girls scored a 3.5, down three tenths from last week's 3.8 among adults 18-49. Mike and Molly garnered a 3.3, up two tenths from its last original's 3.1 two weeks ago. Hawaii Five-O notched a 2.4, down a tenth from last week's 2.5 adults 18-49 rating
On NBC, The Voice performance finale earned a 4.1, up three tenths from last week's 3.8 adults 18-49 rating and also up three tenths from the last performance show of the previous cycle. The debut of 1600 Penn earned a 2.3. Your predictions were a little optimistic. Take It All garnered a 1.5, down seven tenths after last Monday's 2.2 adults 18-49 rating but up from last Friday's 1.1 .
On ABC, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition earned a 1.0 adults 18-49 rating at 8PM, down three tenths from last week’s 1.3 and a 1.2 at 9PM, even with last week.
On FOX, the Dreamworks Dragons: Gift of the Night Fury scored a 1.5 adults 18-49 rating.
On the CW, the series finale of Gossip Girl garnered a 0.8, up two tenths from last week's 0.6 adults 18-49 rating. Your predictions were about right. The Special preceding it earned a 0.6 adults 18-49 rating

Via NBC Press Note:
In Late-Night Metered Markets Monday night: * In Nielsen's 56 metered markets, household results were: "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," 2.9/7; CBS's "Late Show with David Letterman," 2.6/6; and ABC's combo of "Nightline," 3.3/7; and "Jimmy Kimmel Live," 1.5/5. * In the 25 markets with Local People Meters, adult 18-49 results were: "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," 0.9/4; "Late Show," 0.7/3; "Nightline," 1.0/4; and "Jimmy Kimmel Live," 0.5/3. * At 12:35 a.m., "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" (1.4/5 in metered-market households) beat CBS's "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" (1.2/4). In the 25 markets with Local People Meters, "Late Night" (0.5/3 in 18-49) topped "Late Late Show" (0.3/2). * At 1:35 a.m., "Last Call with Carson Daly" averaged a 0.8/3 in metered-market households and a 0.2/2 in adults 18-49 in the 25 markets with local people meters.
You can see TV ratings from other recent Overnight ratings reports here.
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.
For more information see Numbers 101 and Numbers 102.
@Rodri
This is wrong! the ratings should be apart!! First hour was a special! the finale was on only at 9!! Please post the separated ratings! I know the actual episode did good!
Indeed you are correct. My initial source had the Gossip Girl finale listed as a two-hour single episode, but the special and the episode have been separated now. Thanks!
Surprised Gossip Girl went out with some dignity.
The Voice always starts higher in the blind auditions as last season the show puttered out. This season the viewership the ratings are getting higher. Its between Terry/Cassadee tonight and I really liked Nicolas too. I loved all three contestants. This season was a great Voice season. It vastly improved from the previous seasons with the steal, the knockouts and much longer live show rounds where the viewers got to know the contestants alot better then the other seasons. Great job NBC for a great season of the Voice. Now I wonder how the dynamic will change with Shakira/Usher. Adam Levine has already said the chemistry is way different with them as they are taping the fourth season of the Voice. Honestly I need a break from Christina Aguilera she was just so RUDE this season. She was so bitter cause her team was made up of mini me Christina’s, she gave her contestants poor song choices and then she dogged all of Adam’s contestants. She was really really rude to Amanda Brown. I don’t know what it was but Christina is rude. Anyone agree she comes off as a mega DIVA?
@gerry
We were clearly not watching the same show. At least oth tried to have some realism. GG just lost it and didn’t even tried to get it back
GG numbers will be separated in the final numbers? because it was a special and final episode and not a two-hour episode.
Ah GG tied OTH finale. Thats not fair but considering GG was at 0.4 for most of the season its impressive.
HIMYM has really low overall viewers for the prime time its on. Good demo though, stopped watching it a while back personally as got bored of it.
I wonder if 2BG’s was down due to the up Voice? But then M&M went up but it wasn’t on last week so hard to compare like for like between them both.
I’ll take that 2.4 for HFO. It will likely put it first or second for the week at ten which is good.
I thought 1600 Penn would do better than that. It’s gonna die without that massive lead in!
0.8 is great for Gossip Girl and the CW.
If the exec’s at NBC had any brains they would add more family oriented sitcoms to their schedule. It looks like it’s working well for ABC. Sitcoms seem to do better when Mom & Dad can sit down with their children and watch together.
@senor chang
Actually h50 had weaker lead in than last week’s 2 broke girls which had 3.8 ratings. Mike and molly had only 3.3
Also “the voice” is a beast, without it nbc will nose dive in the ratings.
1600
((((
@gerry
teen drama series finales go IMO, The O.C.>SMALLVILLE>Veronica Mars> Gilmore Girls>OTH>Gossip Girl
Take It All was such an icky show to air around the “Season of Giving”. Glad it’s over and its ratings were not impressive.
1.0/1.2 EMHO, Castle 1.1 & numbers may be inflated? OUCH
GG did it for the CW & a fond farewell it is
Dragons wasn’t exactly a Dreamwork for FOX, 0.9 not bad (considering) for CB
The Voice again sings loudly for NBC, but 1600 Penn hardly heard
Sitcoms & H50 win night for CBS w/ 3.1 avg–WTG!
GG should have had 13 episodes! 0.8 is pretty great!! Maybe it’ll adjust up??
@Ateofi. The Voice is indeed huge! CBS must have been on drugs when they decided to move 2.5 men to Thursdays. it did nothing to boost that line up. POI is doing same as last year and Elementary is falling most weeks (with an up tick last week). And it left their Monday comedy line up horribly exposed, when it faces one of the biggest shows on net tv. A really dumb decision.
In fact they’ve made a few this year. Why the hell they’re showing Elementary after the Superbowl instead of POI or 2BG’s I don’t even know!
Very good episode of GG last night. It had heart, levity, sillyness and a clever/deeper meaning if you scratched below the surface–exactly how it used to be in seasons 1 and 2 (and the first half of season 4).
Had the GG writers used care and delivered more episodes like that, GG would have never fallen to Nikita-type numbers. It would have remained at the .8 range, and we may have had a FULL season 6.
A terrible waste of what could have been a great show.
Heard what last night’s HIMYM was about and tuned in, even though I am not a shipper of those two I am touched. Good numbers for them.
@Theoldman – Castle was a repeat. So the numbers aren’t that bad even if it drops some. Agree with you re EMHome though. Bad bad bad numbers.
@ Old Man
You do realize that Castle was a rerun last night and last week, don’t you?
Not bad for a rerun IMO.
