"The Voice" and the fall finale of "Revolution" helped NBC sweep Monday night among young viewers and hold off a late-charging CBS to win primetime overall.
It was a positive Monday for several networks, actually.
A repeat of "The Big Bang Theory" gave all of CBS' comedies a big boost, while FOX's "Bones" and "The Mob Doctor" were up as well. Even The CW celebrated gains.
Meanwhile, ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" performance finale was way up week-to-week, though dismal performances by "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" took away much of that luster.
[Note that NBC's Charlotte affiliate aired the Monday Night Football game.]
Among adults 18-49, NBC averaged a 3.8 rating for Monday night, beating CBS' 3.1 rating in the key demographic. There was a big drop to the 1.7 key demo ratings for FOX and ABC, while The CW did a 0.5 key demo rating for the night.
Overall, NBC averaged an estimated 11.025 million viewers and a 6.4 rating/10 share to top the night. CBS also posted a 6.4/10, but averaged only 10.15 million viewers in second.
