CBS Monday won the night yet again with a 3.6 rating. The night was all originals, except for the benching of How I Met Your Mother. Freshman hit 2 Broke Girls aired at 8:00 pm and scored a 4.1 Adult 18-49 rating, about half a rating point below what it normally does at 8:30 and about three or four tenths below the recent level for How I Met Your Mother. At 9 pm, Two and a Half Men logged a sub-5 rating for the second time this year (4.6) and well below what the show did on this night last year (5.1 rating). Mike & Molly scored a 3.9 rating, not quite a season low (3.7) but toward the bottom of this year's results. Hawaii Five-O tied a season low for an original (2.8). While the ratings are still strong versus the competition on the night, the disruption of one half hour shows that even a strong schedule is vulnerable to even slight disruptions of a habit-driven schedule. Last year on this night (Monday, December 13, 2010): How I Met Your Mother (4.5), Rules of Engagement (3.8), Two and a Half Men (5.1), Mike & Molly (4.2) and Hawaii Five-O (3.9).

NBC found a hit show by going back to a reality show developed in 2001. Fear Factor returned to the schedule with a 3.2 rating for a special episode at 8 pm (good for second place) and a 3.5 rating for the time period premiere at 9 pm (also a very strong second place). Not surprisingly, a younger-skewing reality show (with equal parts helicopters, explosions and gallons of cow blood) did little to help a very old-skewing new magazine at 10 pm. Rock Center scored a 1.1 rating (1.3 and 0.9 rating by half hour), a fairly typical performance for the program. For the night, NBC averaged a 2.6 rating. Last year on this night: The Sing-Off (3.6) and Chase (1.2).

FOX fell to third place with a 1.8 rating. Terra Nova tied a series low (2.1), although that number could decline to a 2.0 in the official nationals because of a pre-emption in St Louis for the ESPN Monday Night Football game. Last night on this year: House repeat (1.5) and Lie to Me repeat (1.2).

ABC crashed to fourth place on the night with a lowly 1.1 rating. The animated special I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown! pulled a 1.4 rating at 8 pm, while You Deserve It set another series low (0.9) and a Castle repeat bottomed out at a 1.0 rating. Last year on this night: Skating with the Stars (0.8), Mariah Carey special (1.2) and Castle (1.3).
