Fast National ratings for Monday, Dec. 13, 2010A full night of original episodes gave CBS and easy ratings win Monday. "The Sing-Off" continued to do pretty well for NBC, building on its numbers from last week.
CBS delivered 11.55 million viewers and a 7.1 rating/11 share in households, winning Monday's prime-time race by a comfortable margin over NBC (7.8 million, 4.5/7). FOX (6.7 million, 4.1/6) sits in third for now, although its numbers are inflated some because affiliates in New York and Minneapolis aired the delayed Vikings-Giants game (CBS is slightly inflated as well since its Baltimore affiliate aired the Ravens-Texans game). ABC came in fourth with 4.6 million viewers and a 3.1/5. A night of repeats on The CW drew 1.3 million people and a 0.9/1.
The Eye also scored best among adults 18-49 with a 3.5 rating. NBC finished second in the demographic with a 2.6, followed by FOX at 2.1. Neither ABC (1.0) nor The CW (0.5) did much demographically.

M E O W= thinks people who watched The flying nun are all old people and should be watching CBS,why is sally fields on ABC, she should be on old CBS...off to flipping burgers
Mike and Molly was great last night, Two and a Half men is getting very creepy and Alan is plain scary before he was the straight laced one now, last week they had him "pleasuring himself" all around the house ..That`s not funny just plain sad and i feel bad for a once really funny show has just lost it`s funny bone..maybe Chuck Lorre has too much on his plate with Big Bang and Mike and Molly with Mike and Molly being the funniest and really well written even Big Bang {which i`m a huge fan of } has slipped this year and is really going off of reputation, but if Two and a half men has 3 more years hopefully it won`t be as vulgar as this years has..Do you people agree?
These network postings don't mean much without ratings for The Closer, MNF, WWE etc.
Further evidence that the demand for vapid song-and-dance programs is utterly insatiable.
How pathetic is ABC in the month of December. LOL- D A M N! If they had good sense over in their programming dept. they would run the last few Monday Night Football games on ABC to bolster up the weakness that is the month of December. But of course they don't even have sense enough to run some of the Bowl games on ABC. Oh well suffer the stupidity of bad programming choices yet again. Meanwhile, NBC is rocking it with The Sing Off. Go NBC!!!
Awww...isn't it too bad that douchebag *EOW's favorite network ABCDEFG did horrible in the ratings last night. I guess it's time for her to seek even more therapy while she's off to yoga. Oh by the way *EOW, you want a cracker since you love to keep saying the same ole crap over and over again. Douchebag wants a cracker!
