8.23 Million Viewers and a 2.6 demo. (with a San Diego preemption pending)
How unlike CBS are those Monday numbers ?
We can come here every week and blame Partners, which is part of the problem. However, the real problem is HIMYM only puts up big numbers when it has a powerful show in the hour like when it had BBT and 2BG in the hour, and 2BG is simply not a 9:00 anchor. CBS rushed 2BG completely. It should have had a year of growth behind BBT. 2BG will never be more than a HIMYM type hit. It will never be a BBT/Men type hit which CBS needs to anchor Monday nights. CBS has no one to blame but themselves.
These numbers may be okay for other networks. For CBS Monday night they are really bad. All these shows will be in the 2′s in the spring.

Mike and Molly continues to do well!
I really think you have lost it on a show you like (as I like it too). When in the world has CBS had a Monday show in the 9:00 hour barely able to crack a 3.0 ? This is the worst Monday numbers CBS has ever had.

Revolution is the real deal. NBC has a gigantic hit on their hands
Revolution is doing great for NBC. Which is good news for NBC since they have loads of genre shows mid-season and in development. They took a risk and it worked.

Well, I think 2BG could be huge, and it has the potential to be hit like TBBT, but like you said, they rushed moving it to anchor the night. Whoever suggested that CBS will put 2BG after the Super Bowl (I think it was chriss) was probably right.
