- NBC won the season's second Monday with ease, but an overrun/New Orleans pre-emption took The Blacklist down to a 3.3. That was down a still perfectly reasonable 13% from last week's premiere.
- As for CBS, apparently it does get worse than last year's Partners. They opened We Are Men to terrible numbers at 8:30, down over a third from an also-sagging How I Met Your Mother, and the negative mojo predictably continued into the last two hours. 2 Broke Girls suffered from the nearly two-point lead-in drop, week two of Mom was down 12% and the weak-starting Hostages dropped another 17%. Something's probably gonna change on this night in fairly short order, with Mom likely the only safe new show in the short term.
- Fox had a great Monday as Bones rallied nicely from last week's big drop and Sleepy Hollow steadied the ship. On ABC, week three of Dancing with the Stars took another dip, finally dropping into the negatives year-to-year, but Castle held up great again.
- The collective big four were up again year-to-year on Monday, this time by 7% vs. Monday #2 in 2012. Most of the credit goes to Fox, now up by nearly 200% in Sleepy Hollow's timeslot!
