2 Broke Girls

NBC and ABC had their usual Monday “The Voice” and “Dancing With the Stars” split, with the former taking the key demo and the latter topping total viewers.

CBS finished third outright, as “2 Broke Girls” and “Mike & Molly” slipped double digits among adults 18-49. There was some good news for the broadcaster, however, as “Stalker” returned up 17 percent in a time period premiere.
