Ratings for Episode 14 "Tech" - 1.8 in the demo, 5.34. million viewers.

Oops, almost forgot about this. I'm going with 5.5 - 6 mill, 1.9 demo.

[Camila Cabello]

6-6.5, 2.0

[dalki]

I almost can't even guess anymore. The Voice keeps letting me down with its ratings.

Anyway, the factors involved: Castle season finale, Voice performance night finale, new H50, Two Broke Girls 1 hr season finale (for the Voice competition).

I guess I'll match Noth's demo estimate and El's viewer estimate on the chance that the Voice will go up and the numbers will bump up Smash.

[AtLongLast]

5.5-6 and a 1.9 demo

I think ratings might go up slightly but only a little bit. Not sure The Voice will increase that much for the finale

[AtLongLast]

lol at your heading loser! Karen lamely patting choking Rebecca on the back never fails to crack me up

[dalki]

Yeah, I changed my demo rating guess to 1.9 from 2.0. The Voice has just been so unreliable this season, especially since Spring hit.

[Kevin]

I do expect the Voice to increase a bit, so I optimistically went with 6-6.5, 2.0

[Justin]

Now that it has slipped below 6 million twice in the last 3 weeks, I feel it is going to stay there......

[Mason]

6-6.5 with a 2.0

[VSW]

How was Twitter activity for this? Does anyone know?

Facebook's activity was surprisingly quiet compared to last week.

[Joffrey Baratheon]

Still sticking with 5.5-6 mill. tbh, I think it's more likely to go below 5.5 than over 6.0.

[VSW]

We got an increase! Last week it was 4.1/7 and this week it's 4.4/7. Last time we got a 4.4/7, it translated to 6.01 million.

-Ratings Breakdown:
It was an easy opening week overnight victory for ABC, which bested No. 2 CBS by 62 percent. But either CBS or NBC is the network to beat among adults 18-49.

Dancing With the Stars on ABC, which will feature the elimination of two contestants tonight, took top-rated overnight honors for the evening with an 11.6/18 from 8-10 p.m. And that led into the season-finale of crime solver Castle at a dominant (and above average) 8.4/14 at 10 p.m. Although facing The Voice cost Dancing With the Stars some audience (-19 percent year-to-year last night), the success of the Big 3 networks on Monday proves that there is room for three hit series in a time period.

Here is the half-hour breakdown for Dancing With the Stars:

Dancing With the Stars (ABC)
8:00 p.m.: 10.9/17 (#1)
8:30 p.m.: 11.4/17 (#1)
9:00 p.m.: 12.2/18 (#1)
9:30 p.m.: 12.0/18 (#1)

In other season-ending news, a one-hour edition of sitcom 2 Broke Girls on CBS, featuring guest star Martha Stewart, tied the first half of NBC’s The Voice with a second-place 6.5/10 from 8-9 p.m. Compared to year-ago occupants How I Met Your Mother (4.7/ 7 on 5/09/11) and Mad Love (3.6/ 6), this was an increase of a hefty 57 percent. And it was a very positive season one finale for breakout hit 2 Broke Girls.

Next on CBS was Two and a Half Men, which finished second in the 9 p.m. half-hour with a 7.6/11, followed by compatible Mike & Molly (#3: 6.7/10) and Hawaii Five-O (#2: 6.0/10) from 9:30-11 p.m. Expect a new sitcom to potentially step into the Monday 8:30 p.m. half-hour in place of 2 Broke Girls, which is likely to shift to Thursday next season.

Over at NBC, the final live performance show of The Voice for the season scored a very solid 6.7/10 from 8-10 p.m., which was its best overnight average since April 2. Expect The Voice to finish first overall for the evening among adults 18-49. Here is the half-hour breakdown:

The Voice (NBC)
8:00 p.m.: 6.4/10 (#2)
8:30 p.m.: 6.7/10 (#2)
9:00 p.m.: 6.9/10 (#3)
9:30 p.m.: 6.8/10 (#2)

Tonight, of course, is The Voice season-ender.

At 10 p.m., Smash on NBC, which concludes its first season next Monday, finished third with a 4.4/ 7. While 65 percent retention out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of The Voice is nothing extraordinary, hats off to NBC for airing Smash uninterrupted and giving it an early second season renewal. This is exactly how a network should treat a series it believes in.

Elsewhere, Fox populated this first Monday in May with Bones (#4: 4.6/ 7) and House (#4: 4.0/ 6), which officially concludes on May 21. And The CW aired its regular line-up of Gossip Girl (#5: 1.0/ 2) and Hart of Dixie (#5: 1.2/ 2), which are both waiting word on their fates. Chances are The CW will grant Gossip Girl one final season to bid officially adieu, while Hart of Dixie will be set loose.

yay for increase

[dalki]

The previous week's overnight numbers for the Voice were 6.0/9 so a 6.7/10 is a pretty substantial increase (though it's really only 10%). And Smash's increase is about 7%. Good overall. But the preliminary numbers for the demo and the audience will be what's important, as you can't always tell what the real percentage rise and fall will be based on the overnights.

[AtLongLast]

Glad for an increase

Last week was a bit of a weird anomaly I think

[dalki]

Last week was a bit of a weird anomaly I think

The last few weeks have been weird with the ratings for various shows. Many shows have had big falls, while others have seen increases.

[zembla]

I agree, it was great that NBC never had a repeat.

[Kirk]

NBC Smash 1.9 5.918

come on! round up!

increase! yay

[VSW]

Tvbythenumbers.com:

Smash rose a tenth from last week's series low 1.8 adults 18-49 rating to earn a 1.9.

Total Viewers: 5.918

Damm, .9.

[VSW]

Interesting tidbit about The Voice:

The Voice performance finale earned a 3.7, compared with last week's 3.5 adults 18-49 rating. It was also down considerably from last summer's performance finale, which earned a 4.4 18-49 rating.

Interesting that it started way way bigger than last year but did worse than last year finale.

[Kevin]

NBC Smash 1.9 5.918

come on! round up!

increase! yay

ikr? Can we please get a round up for once? I miss 2.0!

[dalki]

I was hoping we would reach at least a 2.0, but a .1 increase is better than nothing. The Voice didn't exactly go up by much either.

[AtLongLast]

The show will get back into the 6s next week, especially with Castle finale being this week, and don't count out the Jobro effect

[Kevin]

We also do have the AGT premiere, which should pull in more viewers than The Voice has been lately. Demo shouldnt change a whole lot though.

[Kirk]

i can see next week finally getting back over 6.0 with a 2.0

[dalki]

Just for reference, the Two Broke Girls finale last night actually fell .4 in the demo to a series low and H50 and DWTS both fell .2 to a series low for each and most everything else was either flat or down (except for Castle's finale), so a .1 increase for Smash is looking pretty good.

[Jake]

The promo should've said "guest starring UMA THURMAN, BERNADETTE PETERS, AND NICK JONAS"

Wow, I just realized that they didn't tease the guest stars!

[Kevin]

I don't expect them to have big parts... Probably just audience members at opening night telling them to break a leg.

[Justin]

5.9 so low ughh... I never wanted it in the 5 mil territory and I told you guys, now that its fallen below 6 it's probs gonna stay there!

PS: I thought Uma was done.....
