TV ratings: NBC wins key demographic; ‘Gotham’ is up

NBC won the key 18-to-49-year-old demographic on Monday night with help from “The Voice” and “The Blacklist.”

The network had a rating of 3.1 in the coveted demo, according to Nielsen.

Though down 8% from last week, “Knockout Rounds” on “The Voice” elevated the show to No. 1 among 18-to-49-year-olds with a rating of 3.4. The show was No. 2 overall with about 11.9 million viewers.

“The Blacklist” tied with Fox’s “Gotham” for second in the key demo with a 2.4 rating.

The Fox drama, which recently got a full series order, was up 9% from last week in the demo and up 10% overall with 6.5 million viewers. It was the highest-rated “Gotham” episode in three weeks.

Also on Fox, “Sleepy Hollow” was down a tenth from last week in the key demo with a rating of 1.5. It stayed steady in total viewers, averaging 4.5 million.

The network tied with CBS as second most watched in the key demo with a rating of 1.9.

Meanwhile, ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” drew in the most viewers of all the programs, averaging 13.2 million. It posted a rating of 2.1 in the key demo.

The network, which also aired a “Countdown to the CMAs,” was the most watched overall with 11.4 million viewers. It averaged a rating of 1.8 in the key demo.

However, because of local NFL preemptions in the Indianapolis and New York markets, ratings for ABC and The CW are approximate.

CBS averaged 8.9 million viewers but all of its programs had slight decreases from last week.

“2 Broke Girls” and “Scorpion” were fourth most watched in the key demo, posting a rating of 2.2.

“Scorpion,” down 4% from last week, had its lowest rating to date. However, with 10.3 million viewers, it was the third most-watched program overall.

With a rating of 1.6 in the key demo, “The Millers” dropped about 6% in ratings. The sitcom averaged 6.8 million viewers.

“NCIS: Los Angeles” also hit a series low with a rating of 1.5 in the key demo, a 6% decrease from last week. The show rounded out the top five most-watched overall with 9.1 million viewers.

The CW’s “Jane the Virgin” was up two tenths from last week with a rating of 0.6. “The Originals” also posted a rating of 0.6, the same as last week.
