The Carrie Diaries had a modest debut Monday night.
The CW's Sex and the City prequel bowed to 1.6 million viewers and a 0.6 in the adults 18-to-49 demographic, just a tenth higher than 90210's average in the slot. An encore at 9 p.m. out-performed Gossip Girl's numbers in that hour.

CBS won the night, as its sitcoms all rose, with How I Met Your Mother (10.4 million, 3.8) and 2 Broke Girls (12.2 million, 4.1) both hitting season highs. Hawaii Five-0's "Choose Your Own Ending" episode (9.4 million, 2.4) was flat.
