SMASHWatch has plenty of company in Season Low City.
NBC: For the past 2 weeks, SMASH‘s initial rating has declined in the final daily numbers. So although right now it’s at its 3rd consecutive 2.1 rating, a drop to a new season low 2.0 could be in the cards by the end of the day. THE VOICE was also at a season low (currently 3.9), which still made it the top-rated show of the night and enough to carry the evening for the network.
CBS: With only its 2d week of new episodes out of the past 6, the network hit season lows for HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, 2 BROKE GIRLS and 2 1/2 MEN. MIKE & MOLLY and HAWAII 5-0 were slightly up from their last new airings.
ABC: DANCING WITH THE STARS tied a cycle low, although slightly above its low for the season. A repeat of the SCANDAL pilot generated little interest at 10PM.
FOX: BONES fell heavily to 2.1, and then HOUSE hit–you guessed it–a season low 2.0.
CW: GOSSIP GIRL and HART OF DIXIE were both at low-end (even for CW) 0.5s.
Tonight brings original episodes of regular programming just about everywhere, with FOX delighted to welcome GLEE back to its line-up. On cable, the main event is the season finale of FX’s JUSTIFIED.
