  NOTE: The opinions expressed here are NOT those of SpoilerTV but of the Author of this Article, Marc Berman.

  
  -Winners:
  “First Lady Michelle Obama Says Goodbye to The White House – An Oprah Winfrey Special” (CBS), “America’s Got Talent” – Holiday Spectacular (NBC), “Scorpion” (CBS)
  
  -Losers (excluding repeats):
  “The Great American Light Fight” (ABC), “Marie Claire Young Women’s Honors” (CW)
  
  Ratings Breakdown:
  Oprah Winfrey’s sit-down with our departing First Lady, officially titled “First Lady Michelle Obama Says Goodbye to The White House – An Oprah Winfrey Special,” led this third Monday in December with a 7.1 rating/11 share in the household overnights from 8-9 p.m. Comparatively, this was 61 percent, on average, above the week-ago sitcom combination of “Kevin Can Wait” (4.7/ 7 on Dec. 12) and “Man with a Plan” (4.1/ 6).
  
  Next on CBS were the fall season-ending episodes of sitcoms “Man with a Plan” (#2: 4.3/ 7) and “The Odd Couple” (#2: 3.5/ 6), and drama “Scorpion” (#1: 5.1/ 8) from 9-11 p.m. Of positive note for “Scorpion” was the household overnight growth of 46 percent out of “The Odd Couple.” As previously ordered, “The Odd Couple” will only produce 13 episodes in this third (and potentially final) season.
  
  NBC featured a two-hour holiday edition of summer favorite “America’s Got Talent,” featuring various acts from the previous season, at a solid 5.8/ 9 in the household overnights from 8-10 p.m. And it led into the debut of game show “The Wall,” hosted by Chris Hardwick, at a second-place 3.9/ 7 at 10 p.m. Comparably, overnight retention for “The Wall” out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of “America’s Got Talent” (6.0/10) was adequate at 65 percent.
  
  In season-finale news, “The Great American Light Fight” on ABC proved it is nothing more than time period filler at a 2.8/ 5 from 8-10 p.m. And it led into an encore telecast of “The Great American Baking Show” at a 1.9/ 3 (#3) at 10 p.m.
  
  Elsewhere, Fox populated the night with repeats of “Gotham” (#4: 1.0/ 2) and “Lucifer” (#4: 1.1/ 2). And The CW aired an encore of “Supergirl” (#5: 0.8/ 1) into a mere 0.4/ 1 for 9 p.m. special, “Marie Claire Young Women’s Honors.”

  The first item that gets posted (normally around 2pm GMT) is the early overnight analysis based on the early household numbers (these are not the same as the Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers that are posted later).
  
  Next, if available, we will post the Top 25 Market 18-49 Ratings to give you a rough idea of the ratings to following.
  
  Later on (normally between 4pm-5pm GMT) we post the official early overnight Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers in the table above (We also where possible now post the 18-34 and 25-54 Demo Numbers).
  
  Finally, later in the evening (10pm-11pm GMT) or the following day, the final adjusted ratings numbers are released, these are then posted in the Ratings Database.
