NBC won Monday with Part 1 of its two-night “The Voice” season finale. Though “Holidays With the Houghs” tied for first in the key ratings demographic, it could not beat “Bull” on CBS.
For Fox, the story was far worse. Before a “Prodigal Son” rerun, a holiday edition of “Nick Cannon’s Hit Viral Videos” struggled. As a matter of fact, Univision’s “Ringo” did better head-to-head in the main demo.
