ABC won a fairly quiet Monday night in all measures.
'The Bachelor' premiered to positive numbers, earning a healthy 2.7. This represents a half point rise from last year's season opener. Unfortunately, the reverse was true for 'Castle,' which dropped four tenths to a 1.7.
'Almost Human' rose for only the second time in its short history, climbing up two tenths to a 1.8. At this point, I still think the show is more likely to be canceled than not, but at least fans can take a little bit of solace in this week's increase. The two-hour season (likely series) finale of 'Hostages' matched its previous series low of 1.0.
