Could it really get any worse than this? Although the program faced a CBS repeat, The Jay Leno Show did the unthinkable last night: it went down. The talk show went so far down, it hit a season low in the demos. ABC, in the meantime, took advantage of the decreased competition and scored wins in both the viewers and the demos this Monday.

Repeats of House and Bones will take over for the Joss Whedon program - and comedies ‘Til Death and Brothers - starting November 6.
