This table shows the early overnight ratings. These ratings are normally adjusted later in the day when all the ratings have been consolidated to take into account any local preemptions and/or overruns. You can find all the final adjusted numbers in our Ratings Database. (See the About section below for details about ratings)
The analysis below is based on the early household numbers and are NOT the same as the numbers that will be posted in the above table later. (See the About section below)

———-
Note: The following labels are based on the household overnights and are subject to change given the availability of other pending data streams. These overnights are your first look at the ratings and a precursor to what could lie ahead. And we take into account other benchmarks including the expected demographic ratings, potential DVR usage, the critical acclaim (or lack of) and the social media presence.
-Winners:
“The Bachelor” (ABC), “Celebrity Apprentice” (NBC), “2 Broke Girls” (CBS), “Mike & Molly” (CBS), “NCIS: Los Angeles” (CBS)
-Honorable Mention:
“Scorpion” R (CBS)
-Losers:
“The Originals” (CW), “Jane the Virgin” (CW), “State of Affairs” (NBC)

Ratings Breakdown:
CBS inched past ABC for Monday overnight household dominance, besting the alphabet net by one-tenth of a rating point. But the bigger story was “Celebrity Apprentice” on NBC, which rose to a season-high 5.3 rating/8 share in households from 8-10 p.m. (and only fluctuated by one-tenth of a rating point in the four half-hours). In the battle of the reality/competitions, “Celebrity Apprentice” trailed competing “The Bachelor” on ABC (6.1/ 9) by only 13 percent.
Considering how well “Celebrity Apprentice” has performed this season, it really is too bad NBC rushed through the entire season. SPOILER ALERT: If you have not seen the second episode last night yet, stop reading. But firing all three members of the losing team had to be a result of the shorter episode order this season. Had there been only one firing, we could have had two additional episodes. Note to Kenya Moore: it is time for you to fade into oblivion.
Despite the lead-in support, freshman NBC drama “State of Affairs” could only muster a 3.2/ 5 in the overnights at 10 p.m., which trailed competing “NCIS: Los Angeles” (#1: 6.2/10) on CBS and “Castle” on ABC (#2: 5.0/ 8) by 48 percent and 36 percent, respectively.
Earlier in the evening on CBS were original installments of 8-9 p.m. sitcoms “2 Broke Girls” (#2: 6.0/ 9) and “Mike & Molly” (#1: 6.1/ 9) into an encore telecast of hit freshman drama “Scorpion” at a 5.1/ 8 (#3) from 9-10 p.m. Yes, BH…the word is hit! Aforementioned “NCIS: Los Angeles” (#1: 6.2/10) built from the 9:30 p.m. portion of the encore “Scorpion” lead-in (5.0/ 8) by 24 percent. And both “2 Broke Girls” and “Mike & Molly” were on par with year-ago Monday 8-9 p.m. time period occupants “”How I Met Your Mother” and “2 Broke Girls.”
Elsewhere, Fox’s demo friendly “Gotham” dipped by one-tenth of a rating point week to week, with a 4.1/ 6 (#4) at 8 p.m. And it led into a typically diluted 2.9/ 4 for “Sleepy Hollow” at 9 p.m., which was 34 percent below the 4.4/ 7 for year-ago occupant “The Following.” Speaking of “The Following,” the Kevin Bacon drama will return for season three on March 2. The CW, meanwhile, could not compete with its low-rated combination of scripted hours “The Originals” (#5: 1.2/ 2) and “Jane the Virgin” (#5: 1.0/ 1), which is the network series on the air at present most worthy of a larger audience.
