Spotted Ratings, Monday 1/19/15

WHAT MATTERS:

• FINALS UPDATE: Scorpion (2.3) adjusted up to take the night's outright top rating, while Celebrity Apprentice (1.9) and Castle (1.5) were also up a tick.

• After Monday broadcast primetime largely took a week off due to the football game, almost everything came back at slightly below the results from the last normal Monday two weeks ago. Fox was hardest hit, with both shows down three tenths; that meant Gotham (2.2) dropped into a tie for its series low and Sleepy Hollow (1.3) hit a new one.

• The CBS drops for 2 Broke Girls (2.2), Mike and Molly (2.1), Scorpion (2.2) and NCIS: Los Angeles (1.5) were more modest, but it certainly indicated that Scorpion got no help from its Sunday post-football sampling.

• ABC and NBC, which aired originals against the game last week, were on the upswing vs. those results. But ABC's The Bachelor (2.1) and NBC's Celebrity Apprentice (1.8) were down a bit from their timeslot premieres two weeks ago. ABC saw only a minimal increase for struggling Castle (1.4), while NBC's State of Affairs (1.1) had a much more substantial rebound, to its best rating since it lost The Voice as a lead-in (though that's not saying much).

• The CW finally began airing its big guns in 2015 with an even The Originals (0.6) and Jane the Virgin (0.5), though Jane seems to have fared better than usual in the younger demos (including a series high 0.9 W18-34).
