ABC danced its way to another metered market Monday victory, with a hefty 96 percent advantage over second-place NBC. But The Voice is expected to lead the Peacock net to victory among adults 18-49. Third overall was Fox, followed by a night of all repeats on CBS and, of course, The CW.
Dancing With the Stars scored a very dominant 12.8 rating/19 share from 8-10 p.m., peaking in the 9 p.m. hour with a 13.3/20. One year earlier, it was stronger, however, at a 15.1/23 on 4/25/11. Here is the half-hour breakdown:
Dancing With the Stars (ABC)
8:00 p.m.: 11.8/18 (#1)
8:30 p.m.: 12.7/19 (#1)
9:00 p.m.: 13.3/20 (#1)
9:30 p.m.: 13.3/20 (#1)
My pick to bid adieu on Dancing With the Stars tonight: the wonderful Gladys Knight.
At 10 p.m., ABC crime solver Castle won the time period with an 8.2/13. But retention out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of Dancing With the Stars could have been better than 62 percent.
On NBC, solid The Voice finished second in the overnights from 8-10 p.m. with a 6.2/10. One year earlier, a repeat of Chuck (1.9/ 3 on 4/25/11) and short-lived The Event (3.2/ 5) could only muster an average 2.5/ 4. The Voice will, of course, finish first for the evening among adults 18-49 with the half-hour overnight breakdown as follows:
The Voice (NBC)
8:00 p.m.: 6.1/10 (#2)
8:30 p.m.: 6.3/ 9 (#2)
9:00 p.m.: 6.5/10 (#2)
9:30 p.m.: 6.2/ 9 (#2)

Modest Smash on NBC at 10 p.m., which was already picked-up for season two, finished third with a 4.4/ 7, which was five percent above failed year-ago occupant Law & Order: Los Angeles 4.2/ 7 on 4/25/11). While you have to give NBC credit for not pre-empting ambitious Smash for any repeats, there is no reason to unfortunately believe this will ever break out.
Over at Fox, veteran Bones finished third with a 5.2/ 8 in the overnights at 8 p.m., followed by soon-to-conclude House at a 4.3/ 6 at 9 p.m. House airs its final telecast on Monday, May 21 out of a one-hour retrospective special.
Elsewhere, the aforementioned night of all encores on CBS opened with How I Met Your Mother at a fourth-place 3.2/ 5 at 8 p.m., followed by 2 Broke Girls (#4: 3.7/ 6), Two and a Half Men (#3: 4.5/ 7), Mike & Molly (#4: 4.0/ 6) and Hawaii Five-O (#2: 5.0/ 8). Do you think 2 Broke Girls will move to Thursday next season? http://tinyurl.com/d9zf5r3
The CW capped off the evening with a mere 1.1/ 2 in the overnights each for Gossip Girl and Hart of Dixie. With The Secret Circle the highest rated of the freshman CW scripted drama trio, Hart of Dixie is unlikely to return next season.
