Preliminary Ratings: Monday 11/09/15

It was another easy Monday victory for NBC. It won every hour of the night, in the three demographics, and was second only to ABC in the head-to-head battle of THE VOICE vs DANCING WITH THE STARS, in total viewers.  BLINDSPOT showed why it has already been renewed for a second season as its A18-49 ratings equaled the combined ratings of CASTLE and NCIS: LA.

ABC edged out CBS for second place as DWTS out delivered SUPERGIRL and SCORPION in the demos. But, CASTLE, back in originals for the first time in three weeks, was a solid third place in the 10 p.m. hour.

Speaking of SUPERGIRL, it's not the hit CBS was hoping for, but it is holding its own. Retention from last week's ratings were 92% in viewers, and 77% in the A18-49 demographic. It is competitive with DWTS for the 8 p.m. hour, something last year's comedies couldn't do.

FOX pushed MINORITY REPORT out of the way for an encore of BONES and not much changed in the ratings. MINORITY REPORT still has three episodes left, so FOX may be saving those for the holidays.
