-Ratings Breakdown:
With CBS in all repeats, the home of The Bachelor, ABC, led this fourth Monday in January in the overnights with a four-tenth of a rating point advantage over second-place Fox. Third overall was CBS, followed by NBC and, of course, distant The CW.

The Bachelor averaged a 6.0 rating/9 share from 8-10 p.m., with only two-tenths of a rating point separating the four half hours. Here is the half-hour breakdown:

The Bachelor (ABC)

8:00 p.m.: 5.9/ 9 (#2)
8:30 p.m.: 5.9/ 9 (#2)
9:00 p.m.: 5.8/ 9 (#3)
9:30 p.m.: 6.1/ 9 (#1)

The Bachelor led into older-skewing Castle at a dominant 7.4/12 at 10 p.m. Comparably, Castle was the highest rated show of the evening in the overnights.

In week two news, Alcatraz on Fox at 9 p.m. was a perfect fit out of House (#1: 6.1/ 9 at 8 p.m.), with a second-place 6.0/ 9 at 9 p.m. One week earlier, the two-hour debut of Alcatraz scored a 6.8/10 on Jan. 23. By the overnight numbers, that was a loss of only 12 percent.



Over at encore populated CBS, How I Met Your Mother opened with a 4.8/ 7 at 8 p.m. (#3), followed by 2 Broke Girls (#3: 5.3/ 8), Two and a Half Men (#1: 6.6/10), Mike & Molly (#3: 5.8/ 9) and Hawaii Five-O (#3: 4.6/ 7) from 8:30-11 p.m.

Elsewhere, NBC aired Who’s Still Standing (#4: 3.7/ 6 at 8 p.m.) and two-hours of the GOP debate on Rock Center With Brian Williams (4.9/ 8 from 9-11 p.m.). And The CW capped off the evening with its combination of Gossip Girl (#5: 1.1/ 2) and fall entry Hart of Dixie (#5: 1.2/ 2).
