“The Bachelor” scored season-high ratings Monday night, improving two tenths on last week’s 18-49 rating with a 2.4. It came close to topping “The X-Files” (2.5), which remained the night’s No. 1 show despite slipping a tenth from last week’s fast nationals (it adjusted up in the finals). “Lucifer” (1.7) also fell for FOX.
“Supergirl” (1.8) also improved week to week, growing by 0.3 for CBS, while “Scorpion” (2.0) and “NCIS: LA” (1.6) were each up a tenth from their last new episodes. “Telenovela” (0.9) inched up a bit for NBC, and “Superstore” (1.4) was even. “Castle” returned to ABC with a 1.1, right on its season average.
On The CW, “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” held onto last week’s 0.4, but “Jane the Virgin” (0.3) dipped a tenth from last week.

Definitions:
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.
Fast Affiliate Ratings: These first national ratings are available at approximately 11 a.m. ET the day after telecast. 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.
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.
Time Shifted Viewing: Program ratings for national sources are produced in three streams of data – Live, Live +Same-Day and Live +7 Day. Time-shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs. Live+SD includes viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3 a.m. local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing. Live +7 ratings include viewing that takes place during the 7 days following a telecast.
