An extra hour of THE VOICE pulverized much of the competition.

NBC:  THE VOICE, extended for an extra Tuesday hour, dominated the night with 4.6 (up 0.3 from last week’s 1-hour episode) and provided a huge lead-in for the network’s Hurricane Sandy news special at 10PM, which easily won its hour at 2.9.

FOX:  The early sitcoms held even, with RAISING HOPE and BEN AND KATE at 1.7/1.4 respectively.  But with the extra competition at 9PM, NEW GIRL was down 0.4 to 2.3, and THE MINDY PROJECT (which didn’t air last week) hit a new low at 1.5.

ABC:  An ugly night.  The DANCING WITH THE STARS results show was down 0.4 to 1.9, then HAPPY ENDINGS fell 0.4 to 1.4, and DON’T TRUST THE B– took a swan-dive , down half a ratings point to 1.2.  With that lead-in, a special 10PM storm-related 20/20 was nowhere near NBC’s at 1.3.

CBS:  Conversely, CBS was least affected by the competition.  NCIS was up a little to 3.4, and NCIS LA held even at 2.8.  Even lowly VEGAS rebounded slightly to 1.7.

CW:  HART OF DIXIE was up to a good (for CW) 0.6.  But that didn’t help EMILY OWENS MD, still mired at 0.3.

Everything is new tonight (including what was initially supposed to be an X FACTOR rerun, and NBC’s one-time run of a new 30 ROCK at 8PM), aside from a special airing of IT’S THE GREAT PUMPKIN, CHARLIE BROWN for obvious reasons on ABC at 8PM.
