ABC takes the win...
The Bachelor and Castle both helped ABC win against CBS, which had lower ratings for its comedy block (although How I Met Your Mother had the best demographic rating). 2 Broke Girls had its smallest demographic rating of the season. The Following was down from last week in the demo but up in total viewers, while Bones improved from last week. The CW's lineup was up slightly and The Biggest Loser was even with last week for NBC.
