NBC must be ecstatic about last night's ratings. The Voice might be bigger than Idol now and Smash is their first scripted hit in a long time. If they want to get more competitive a results show for The Voice should be added Tuesdays at 9:00 cutting Biggest Loser down to an hour at 8:00. Then Awake must be moved away from the DOA Thursday slot to Tuesday at 10:00. It will have a better chance there with a strong lead-in and weak competition from ABC and CBS. The Thursday slot was what doomed The Firm, it should have been left after the Apprentice on Sundays as originally scheduled.

Mr. Television · 02-07-2012, 07:22 PM

The Voice is a hit. Smash had a good debut but lost a lot of viewers at the half hour. Time will tell if that show has staying power. I think Hawaii Five-O will overtake it in a few weeks. Castle is always weak without DWTS as a lead in.

EmoJoe · 02-07-2012, 09:52 PM

As long as Smash can stay above a 2.5 it's basically a lock for renewal. I think it'll settle in the low 2s/high 3s which is still great for NBC and could be good enough for 1st place.

Hopefully ABC will move Rookie Blue back to 9pm so that the only 2 scripted show this summer are not at the same time...

Smash has been renewed for a 2nd season.

icecream · 05-11-2012, 05:22 PM

NBC has cancelled Awake (their only show worth watching). I think it would be a good fit at Syfy.

Pavan · 05-29-2012, 03:32 PM
