CBS wins as usual...
Both The Bachelor and Castle were up for ABC last week while Bachelor had season bests in viewers and the demographic. However, CBS still won even with ratings lower than normal. The Following dropped for the second week in a row and The Carrie Diaries was down for The CW. However, NBC's show Deception, which had been having low ratings, improved some.
CBS won with 9.6 million viewers and a 6.1 rating/9 share in households. It was followed by ABC (8.6 million, 5.7/9), FOX (8.2 million, 5.0/7), NBC (4.8 million, 3.1/5) and The CW (just under 1 million, 0.7/1).
In the adults 18-49 demographic, CBS won again with a 2.8, followed by ABC (2.5), FOX (2.3), NBC (1.8) and The CW (0.5).
