Ratings Breakdown:
Results on this second Monday in November are what you could now call typical, with ABC tops in the household overnights and NBC the network to beat in adults 18-49 (and all the key young adult demos). In fall season-finale results, NBC’s “The Blacklist” exited for its three-month hiatus with a 6.3 rating/10 share at 10 p.m., which tied ABC’s “Castle” for first in the hour and will clearly win the demo battle. While retention for “The Blacklist” out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of lead-in “The Voice” was solid at 89 percent, buzz at the proverbial water-cooler seems to have softened this season (a victim, perhaps, of the “sophomore slump”).
“The Blacklist” returns for the second half of its current season on a new night and time, Thursday from 9-10 p.m. ET, effective in February 2015. New Katherine Heigl drama “State of Affairs” steps into the Monday 10 p.m. hour next week.
“The Voice,” meanwhile, remained solid at a 7.5/11 from 8-10 p.m., which trailed competing “Dancing with the Stars” on ABC (9.1/14) by 18 percent in the overnights but is a lock for another young adult demographic victory. Compared to the year-ago evening, “Dancing With the Stars” increased by three percent in the overnights.
Over at CBS, the immediate positive news remains new drama “Scorpion,” which scored a consistent 6.6/10 in the overnights from 9-10 p.m. Comparably, that was 57 percent above modest sophomore lead-in “The Millers” (#4: 4.2/ 6 at 8:30 p.m.), which has not benefited by the unnecessary arrival of Sean Hayes, and it outdelivered year-ago occupants “Mike & Molly” (5.7/ 9 on 11/11/13) and “Mom” (4.6/ 7) by an average of 28 percent. “The Millers,” meanwhile, trailed year-ago occupant “2 Broke Girls” (5.4/ 8 on 11/11/13) by 22 percent.
Earlier in the evening on the Eye net was “2 Broke Girls” at an acceptable 5.3/ 8 (#3) in the 8 p.m. half-hour, which was on par from year-ago occupant “How I Met Your Mother.” But “HIMYM” was a stronger entry in the young adult demos. Related “NCIS: Los Angeles,” meanwhile, dropped by 16 percent week-to-week, with a third-place 5.4/ 9 at 10 p.m. But that 5.4 was still 64 percent above failed year-ago occupant “Hostages” (3.3/ 6 on 11/11/13).
Elsewhere, Fox was consistent with its pairing of dramas “Gotham” (#4: 4.6/ 7), which is solid in the key demos, and “Sleepy Hollow” (#4: 3.1/ 5), which dropped by 30 percent from the 4.4/ 7 in the overnights on the year-ago evening. In search of an audience on Monday remains The CW, which was equal to one week earlier as a result of relocated “The Originals” (#5: 1.2/ 2) and recent entry “Jane the Virgin” (#5: 0.9/ 1), which is still a stronger option than year-ago occupant “Beauty and the Beast” despite the ongoing modest overnight results. Since The CW does recognize the potential value of “Jane the Virgin,” it immediately ordered a full (22-episode) first season.
