FOX provided the most significant competition to CBS last night, an original two-hour finale of Terra Nova from 8-10 pm (2.2 rating). Despite fairly heavy promotion in FOX NFL Sunday, the time travel series that, at times, featured dinosaurs finished near the season lows of the last few weeks. On this night last year, FOX averaged a 2.0 rating for a two-hour episode of Million Dollar Drop.

ABC had another rough Monday without the benefit of Dancing with the Stars or The Bachelor. Animated specials from 8-9 pm (Kung Fu Panda Holiday Special (1.3) at 8:00 and A Chipmunk Christmas (1.4) at 8:30) were the high water mark for the network’s evening, followed by a slight uptick for You Deserve It (1.1 this week vs 0.9 last week) and a 1.0-rated Castle repeat. The network averaged a 1.2 rating last night, which is actually up considerably from the same night last year (a 0.7 rating from 8-11 pm for Skating with the Stars (0.5) at 8 pm, Castle repeat special (0.6) at 9 pm and Castle repeat (0.9) at 10 pm).
