Fast National ratings for Monday, Oct. 28, 2013Ratings for Game 5 of the World Series fell a bit from the previous few games, but they were still strong enough to give FOX the biggest overall audience Monday night and score a tie for the lead among adults 18-49.

Also Monday, all three 10 o'clock dramas -- "The Blacklist," "Castle" and "Hostages" -- improved a little vs. last week. "Hart of Dixie" and "Beauty and the Beast" were each up slightly in total viewers and flat among adults 18-49.
