Today's Early Overnight Ratings

This table shows the early overnight ratings.

-Ratings Breakdown:
ABC topped the Monday overnights, beating No. 2 Fox by five-tenths of a rating point. Aside from “Rules of Engagement,” CBS was in all repeats, hence the third place ranking.

“The Bachelor” on ABC took top-rated honors for the evening, with a 6.6 rating/10 share from 8-10 p.m. (and a first-place time period finish in each of the four half-hours). Comparably, “The Bachelor” built by six percent from the year-ago evening (6.2/ 9 on 3/05/12), and it bested NBC’s competing “The Biggest Loser” (#4: 4.1/ 6 from 8-10 p.m.), which rose to its highest overnight rating in five weeks, by 61 percent.

Recent drama addition “Deception” on NBC also perked up to its best overnight average in five weeks, with a distant third-place 2.7/ 5 at 10 p.m. But that still trailed repeats of “Castle” on ABC (#1: 4.8/ 8) and “Hawaii Five-O” on CBS (#2: 3.8/ 7) by 44 percent and 29 percent, respectively. NBC, no doubt, is anxiously awaiting for the return of “The Voice” on March 25 (which leads into the return of drama “Revolution.”).

On Fox, just renewed “The Following” with Kevin Bacon earned its renewal stripes with a second-place 5.6/ 9 in the overnights at 9 p.m., which fully maintained its “Bones” (#2: 5.6/ 8) lead-in. “The Following,” as usual, is expected to build out of “Bones” by noticeable proportions among adults 18-49 (and other young adult demos).

Over at CBS, an encore of “How I Met Your Mother” finished fourth at 8 p.m. with a 3.9/ 6, followed aforementioned “Rules of Engagement” at a third-place 4.7/ 7 at 8:30 p.m. Repeats of “2 Broke Girls” and “Mike & Molly” each scored a 4.7/ 7 in their time periods from 9-10 p.m.

Last-place The CW made the right move, no doubt, finally axing “90210,” which scored a 0.6/ 1 at 9 p.m. (out of a 1.0/ 2 for struggling lead-in “The Carrie Diaries” at 8 p.m.). With “90210” canceled and “Cult” banished to Friday, the question The CW needs to ponder is which of their low-rated dramas do they bring back next season: “The Carrie Diaries,” “Hart of Dixie,” “Beauty and the Beast” or “Nikita”?
