Episode 10 ratings:

overall viewers: 5.99 million

Demo: 2.0


I'm guessing 6-6.5 mill, 2.1 demo


VOTING ENDS MONDAY AT 9 PM EST

[Kirk]

im never going to vote for less than 6, i refuse

[dalki]

Castle is a new episode, while H50 is a repeat. The Voice is having its Quarter Final performances. Smash will have its first full Uma episode. I'm looking for ratings to stay the same just because I'm lazy.

[AtLongLast]

I'm gonna say 5.5-6 and a 2.1, but i think it's gonna be steady.

[Kevin]

Slight raise so I say 6-6.5 and 2.1

[Camila Cabello]

6-6.5, 2.1

[Will1111]

6-6.5 2.0

[MichelleF]

i honestly think it will be between 5.5-6, but i didn't feel like voting for that

[AtLongLast]

Hopefully The Voice stops dropping, cos that's not helping

[Mason]

6-6.5 with a 2.1

I read that The Voice is premiering Justin Bieber's new video (but not sure if it's today or next week). I think this will help the ratings a lot!

Sad but probably true.

[dalki]

Unfortunately, the Bieber video will be shown on The Voice's results show Tuesday night, not tonight, so no Belieber help for Smash.

[Camila Cabello]

lol, why couldn't they have just premiered it at the 7:53 mark of Smash?

[zembla]

Uma is trending on Twitter! Hopefully that means a ratings bump.

[VSW]

We have had TTs every week so I don't think Uma trending will have a big effect. How was the overall Twitter activity?

Facebook's activity seems higher than last week.

About even. Sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiightly less.

[VSW]

Ouch. Smash went from 4.6/7 to 4.2/6 this week. It's a bigger drop than the two weeks before. I seriously don't get why it keeps on dropping, even if we are talking about small drops. The season is almost over so we should have been seing flat numbers or small increases and not small dips week after week. With audience below 6 million, things don't really look that promising when it comes to Season 2 ratings.

-Ratings Breakdown:
It was a clean overnight sweep for ABC on this third Monday in April with its combination of Dancing With the Stars (12.0 rating/18 share from 8-10 p.m.) and Castle (7.9/14 at 10 p.m.). Comparably, retention for Castle out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of Dancing With the Stars was 64 percent. One year earlier, Dancing With the Stars averaged a 13.8/21 on 4/18/11. Here is the half-hour breakdown:

Dancing With the Stars (ABC)
8:00 p.m.: 11.1/18 (#1)
8:30 p.m.: 12.0/18 (#1)
9:00 p.m.: 12.4/18 (#1)
9:30 p.m.: 12.4/18 (#1)

Although my pick to exit tonight is Gavin DeGraw, don’t be too surprised if Melissa “Half Pint” Gilbert is the one departing.

Over at NBC, young adult favorite The Voice remains a double-digit improvement over year-ago occupants Chuck and The Event with a 6.3/ 9 in the overnights from 8-10 p.m. Here is the half-hour breakdown:

The Voice (NBC)
8:00 p.m.: 6.0/10 (#2)
8:30 p.m.: 6.2/10 (#2)
9:00 p.m.: 6.4/10 (#3)
9:30 p.m.: 6.3/ 9 (#3)

Personally, I stopped watching The Voice after the auditions. But Nate, our favorite blogger, had this to say about last night’s installment:

“I thought the twist of having both judges eliminate one of their contestants was really dumb and unnecessary. America should be deciding who they want to see each week instead of allowing the judges to pick their favorites to continue in the competition. I don't get how this adds anything to The Voice.”

At 10 p.m., episode No. 11 of Smash on NBC tied with a repeat of Hawaii Five-O on CBS for second with a 4.2/ 7. One year earlier, former short-lived time period occupant Law & Order: Los Angeles averaged a 3.9/ 6.

CBS has lost some steam, of course, opposite Dancing With the Stars and The Voice. But the still solid overnight performances of How I Met Your Mother (#3: 5.3/ 8), 2 Broke Girls (#2: 5.8/ 9), Two and a Half Men (#2: 7.4/11) and Mike & Molly (#2: 6.5/10) proves that three networks can successfully co-exist opposite each other. The aforementioned Hawaii Five-O encore capped off the evening for the Eye net with a 4.2/ 7 at 10 p.m. (#2).

Elsewhere, Fox finished fourth with its combination of dramas Bones (4.9/ and soon-to-conclude House (#4: 4.0/ 6). And The CW aired its low-rated combination of Gossip Girl (#5: 1.0/ 2) and Hart of Dixie (#5: 1.1/ 2), which both should not be returning next season.

I guess Smash is still depending on The Voice more than we thought. The Voice dropped once again from 6.5/10 to 6.3/9. I just wanted that 6 million Smash core fanbase to stay afloat.

[zembla]

I don't know, Hawaii 5-0's repeat numbers are usually in the 6-7 mil range, so I'd be surprised if they tied and Hawaii also got only 5 mil viewers.

Yea. I just noticed they said it tied with Hawaii repeat. Hmmm. Still a 4.2/7 has to be worse than a 4.6/7 (last week's rating), right?

[Kevin]

in the past, a 4.2/7 has translated to 6.3-6.5m

Smash had a 4.6/8 last week so it should be a rise for sure.

Really?

I just guess the ratings thing is not for me. I don't and can't understand how a 4.2/7 is better than 4.6/8. The old HDD threads were easier to understand than the Tv ratings. lol

[Kevin]

It depends I guess. even with shares being exactly the same, overall numbers between networks seem to vary. its confusing but we shall see.

[VSW]

Ouch. Tvbythenumbers:

Smash - 1.9 in demo. Overall viewers: 5.958

[Kevin]

[VSW]

I hate this seriously. I'm afraid of next season since they probably will use The Voice lead in to launch another show and Smash really is showing it can't survive on its own without The Voice lead in so far.

Ugh. I hate seeing that 1.9.

[Kevin]

It can survive.. it will just pull numbers like other NBC "successful" shows like Up All Night.
