NBC put another Monday victory under its belt last night, with Fast National returns giving the network an easy ratings win with dominant episodes of The Voice and The Blacklist.
The Voice, averaging a 4.6 rating with adults 18-49, was down half of a point from last week's season premiere. At 10 p.m., the freshman drama's second episode averaged a 3.6 rating among adults 18-49, outperforming all other scripted offerings for the night. It was off two-tenths of a point from last week's premiere, though Voice overage could see its final number shrink a bit more.

On Fox, Sleepy Hollow (3.0 adults) held strong in its third episode, continuing its retention streak by only shedding a tenth of a point from last week. Lead-in Bones (2.1 adults) improved in the demo, up two-tenths of a point from last week.
CBS saw an inauspicious start for We Are Men. The comedy launched with a 2.0 rating among adults 18-49, shedding more than a point from its How I Met Your Mother lead-in (3.1 adults). That puts it lower than last year's time slot opener, Partners, but with similar retention. HIMYM opened the night down six-tenths of a point from last week's one-hour premiere. 2 Broke Girls (2.4 adults) and Mom (2.2 adults) were down a respective four- and three-tenths of a point.
Hostages slipped three-tenths of a point from its modest premiere, pulling a 1.5 rating with adults 18-49.
