NBC saw some improvement on Monday, winning the night in both adults 18-49 (2.8 rating) and total viewers (9.5 million) according to Fast National returns. The Voice (3.2 adults), even with last Monday’s final returns, was up a tenth from the previous preliminaries. And at 10 p.m., Revolution (2.0 adults) rose one-tenth of a point in its finale, though it closed out its year south of the highs that made it the season’s second-most-watched debut.
