“Supergirl” steadied itself after three weeks of freefall, with a replacement episode after the previously schedule original installment was yanked due to similarities with the Paris terror attacks.
CBS’ “NCIS: Los Angeles” also subbed out episodes for the same reason, though that show ticked down a bit.
NBC topped the main 18-49 demographic on Monday, as “Blindspot” hit a 5-week high. ABC topped total viewers thanks to “Dancing With the Stars.”
NBC was first in ratings with a 2.9 rating/9 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic, and second in total viewers with 10.4 million. “The Voice” at 8 p.m. earned a 3.1/9 and 11.5 million viewers. “Blindspot” at 10 posted a 2.3/7 and 8.2 million viewers.

Before Friday’s attacks, an episode of “Supergirl” dealing with bombings throughout National City had been set to air Monday, an individual with knowledge of the situation told TheWrap. Instead, it will be replaced at 8 p.m. by an episode titled “Livewire,” in which Kara’s (Melissa Benoist) Thanksgiving plans are threatened when she suspects her foster mother, Dr. Danvers (Helen Slater), who is coming to town, disapproves of her new role as a superhero.
The previously scheduled episode of “NCIS: Los Angeles,” which focuses on ISIS recruitment, will be swapped out at 10 p.m. for an episode titled “The Long Goodbye,” which sees the team searching for Jada (Ella Thomas), the woman Sam (LL Cool J) led to asylum in the United States four years ago, after she goes missing.
