On NBC, Law & Order: Los Angeles returned after more than four months away. Dick Wolf and company have been retooling the struggling freshman drama and it appears fans weren’t that interested. The two hours registered a series low, down 32% from the last original installment. Chuck also hit a series low.

Over on CBS, execs tried switching Mike & Molly with the typical Two and a Half Men rerun but it was not a success and seemed to hurt Hawaii Five-0 in the bargain. How I Met Your Mother and Mad Love were also down.

On ABC and FOX, things were pretty much status quo and The CW was in repeats once again.
