Ratings Breakdown:
NBC topped the Monday household overnights, besting No. 2 ABC by five percent. But NBC’s position in adults 18-49 (and all the key young adult demographics) will certainly be greater thanks to “The Voice.”

ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” topped the night in these household overnights, with a 7.5 rating/11 share from 8-10 p.m. Comparably, however, that was 12 percent below the 8.5/13 on the year-ago evening. And it led into a mere 2.8/ 5 (#3) for newbie drama “Conviction” at 10 p.m., which at this point is just waiting for the proverbial axe to officially swing.

NBC’s “The Voice” (6.4/10 from 8-10 p.m.) was also below average, slipping by 18 percent from the 7.8/12 from the year-ago evening. But the “Saturday Night Live 2016 Election Special” brought the Monday 10 p.m. time period back to life with a 5.7/10. One week earlier, freshman drama “Timeless” scored a 3.4/ 6 in the time period.

Elsewhere, CBS remains on the downside with its combination of 8-10 p.m. sitcoms “Kevin Can Wait” (#3: 4.7/ 7), “Man with a Plan” (#3: 3.9/ 6), “2 Broke Girls” (#3: 3.6/ 5) and “The Odd Couple” (#3: 3.3/ 5) and relocated “Scorpion” (#2: 4.5/ 7) dropping, on average, by 25 percent year to year.

Fox could not compete with its drama pairing of “Gotham” and “Lucifer” from 8-10 p.m., each with a 2.5/ 4 in the household overnights. But the positive for The CW remains “Supergirl” with a 1.8/ 3 at 8 p.m. (#5), which was more than double the 0.8/ 1 for “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” on the year-ago evening (0.8/ 1 on 11/09/15). Lead-out “Jane the Virgin,” however, slipped by 56 percent with a 0.8/ 1 at 9 p.m.
