Down only 0.1 from last week&#8217;s final number (which removed the Monday Night Football inflation), &#8220;The Blacklist&#8221; justified its full season pickup.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the night, &#8220;The Voice&#8221; posted a 4.5 with 14.3 million viewers.<\/p>\n<p>CBS&#8217; night was far rougher.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How I Met Your Mother,&#8221; its strongest Monday series, dipped to a modest 2.9 adults 18-49 rating with 7.4 million viewers.  &#8220;We Are Men&#8221; fell from its disappointing premiere numbers to a mere 1.8 with 5.4 million, while &#8220;2 Broke Girls,&#8221; the show CBS hoped would be a major 9PM anchor, sank to a troubling 2.2 with just 7.2 million viewers.<\/p>\n<p>Heavily-hyped new 9:30PM entry &#8220;Mom&#8221; could only muster a 2.0 with 6.7 million, while disastrous limited series &#8220;Hostages&#8221; was only good for a 1.2 and 5.1 million.<\/em><br \/>\n===========<\/p>\n<p>NBC executives can breathe a sigh of relief Tuesday.  Ratings for &#8220;The Blacklist,&#8221; which the network picked up for a full season last week, again look strong.<\/p>\n<p>According to TV Media Insights, Monday&#8217;s episode, the show&#8217;s third, delivered a 7.3 overnight metered market rating.  Down a mere 5% from the prior week&#8217;s number, the show again attracted a large audience and will certainly win its timeslot in adults 18-49.<\/p>\n<p>Whether the James Spader vehicle can hold up for the entirety of the season remains to be seen, but as of right now, it is succeeding in its post-&#8220;The Voice&#8221; timeslot.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Voice&#8221; delivered a strong 8.9 rating from 8-10PM.<\/p>\n<p>While NBC&#8217;s Mondays continue to impress, CBS continues to show vulnerability on the night it once dominated.  &#8220;How I Met Your Mother&#8221; was solid with a 5.7 rating, but newcomer &#8220;We Are Men&#8221; fell 15% from its already-disappointing premiere to a soft 3.9.  &#8220;2 Broke Girls&#8221; and &#8220;Mom&#8221; followed with 5.1 and 4.9, respectively, while dead-on-arrival &#8220;Hostages&#8221; could only muster a 3.8 at 10PM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[3,437],"tags":[877,275,282,269,277,210,252,177,283],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&quot;The Blacklist&quot; Ratings Still Look Strong, &quot;We Are Men&quot; Falls<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update: Thanks to a strong, relatively-steady performance, NBC&#039;s hit new drama &quot;The Blacklist&quot; easily claimed victory in the 10PM hour.
