The Voice hasn’t run out of steam just yet.
NBC: The cycle finale of THE VOICE hit a 4.9, way up from last week and even more impressively, up half a point from last spring’s finale. Even a rerun of the previous night’s episode at 8PM managed a 2.4, in 2d place for its hour. NBC will miss those numbers badly until mid-March, when the series returns.
ABC: The airwaves have seemed inundated with Charlie Brown this holiday season, and yet another run of A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS had a 1.7, only 3d place at 8PM. The rest of the night was stable: slight increases for HAPPY ENDINGS (1.3) and DON’T TRUST THE B— (1.1), along with a flat 1.2 for PRIVATE PRACTICE.
CBS: With a rerun Voice at 8PM, NCIS jumped half a point to 3.3, easily winning its hour. That perked NCIS LA up 0.3 to 2.9. The effect didn’t last, however, as VEGAS was up just a tick to 1.6.
FOX: Rerun sitcoms were 0.6-1.0, although it’s worth noting that the highest rated of the bunch was RAISING HOPE, usually nowhere near the lead on Tuesdays.
CW: A VERY MUPPET CHRISTMAS had a 0.5, the same as the network’s normal programming tends to do.
Aside from a new CHICAGO FIRE on NBC and X FACTOR on FOX, the night is all reruns and specials: a Katie Couric news round-up on ABC, a Rascal Flatts music special on CBS, and the MISS UNIVERSE PAGEANT on NBC.
