DING! DING! It was on last night between Scandal and The Blacklist.
The NBC drama went up against the ABC juggernaut for the first time, with Scandal Season 4 Episode 11 besting The Blacklist Season 2 Episode 10 among 18-49-year olds, the key advertising demographic.

On CBS, The Big Bang Theory (16.8 million/4.5), Mom (11.8 million/2.8) and Two and a Half Men (9.4 million/2.3) all held firm, while Elementary inched up.
On The CW, The Vampire Diaries Season 6 Episode 13 (1.67 million/0.8) ticked up from last week’s series low; million (1 mil/0.4) remained steady
