Still, the Ashton Kutcher-led &#8220;Men&#8221; is pacing ahead of last season&#8217;s performance and critics are slowly warming to the new creative dynamic; it is hard to view the revamped &#8220;Men&#8221; as anything but a victory for CBS.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mike &#038; Molly&#8221; led out with a healthy 4.2 and 12.7 million.  It is unclear &#8220;M&#038;M&#8221; would work as a self-starter in a different timeslot, but it continues to perform well as a &#8220;Men&#8221; counterpart.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the night, the team of &#8220;How I Met Your Mother&#8221; and &#8220;2 Broke Girls&#8221; again impressed; &#8220;Mother&#8221; scored a 4.5 with 11.7 million viewers, while &#8220;Broke Girls&#8221; managed a 4.6 and 12.8 million.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hawaii 5-0&#8221; closed the CBS night with a 3.0 and 10.8 million.<\/p>\n<p>(<i>Note: The earliest portion of CBS&#8217; schedule received a pre-emption benefit from CBS&#8217; San Diego airing of the Monday Night Football game.
