The Tiffany Network's 9pm showing of Person of Interest picked up 11.9m (2.7), and 12.3m (2.5) watched The Mentalist an hour later.
On NBC, Community, Parks & Recreation and The Office climbed to 3.8m (1.7), 4m (2.1) and 6.1m (3.2), but then Whitney and Prime Suspect fell to 4.2m (2.0) and 4.5m (1.3).
Meanwhile, Charlie's Angels, Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice all rose to 6m (1.3), 9.7m (3.4) and 6.7m (2.4) respectively for ABC.
