-Ratings Breakdown:
It was another easy Tuesday victory for CBS thanks to the one-two overnight punch of “NCIS” (#1 for the evening: 11.1 rating/17 share) and spin-off “NCIS: Los Angeles” (#1: 9.0/14) from 8-10 p.m. But waiting-to-be axed “Golden Boy” slipped to second at 10 p.m., with a 5.3/ 9. And that, comparably, dropped from the 9:30 p.m. portion of “NCIS: Los Angeles” (8.8/14) by 40 percent.
Over at NBC, the 8-9 p.m. edition of “The Voice” (#2: 8.4/13) will, no doubt, lead the evening among adults 18-49 (and other young adult demographics). Year-to-year growth was a considerable 79 percent (versus a 4.7/ 8 on 4/24/12). But two-hours of hiatus-bound lead-out “Ready For Love” is ready for the official scrapheap with a miniscule 2.2/ 4 in the overnights from 9-11 p.m. Next Tuesday, a two-hour edition of “The Voice” will lead into relocated “Grimm” at 10 p.m. on NBC.
The live “Dancing With the Stars” Results Show was, of course, the standout on ABC with a second-place 8.8/14 at 9 p.m. Comparably, that built from sluggish lead-in “Splash” (#3t: series low 3.5/ 6 at 8 p.m.) by 151 percent. At 10 p.m., on the fence “Body of Proof,” which could be facing an uphill battle for survival because of its older audience skew, following with a second-place 6.5/11 in the overnights at 10 p.m. Comparably, that was equal to year-ago time period occupant “Private Practice.”
Elsewhere, demo friendly “Hell’s Kitchen” on Fox (#3t, 3.5/ 6 at 8 p.m.) led into encores of sitcoms “New Girl” (#4: 1.6/ 2) and “The Mindy Project” (#4: 1.4/ 2) from 9-10 p.m. And sophomore “Hart of Dixie” on The CW (#5: 1.1/ 2 at 8 p.m.) led into a repeat of tired reality/competition “America’s Next Top Model” (#5: 0.6/ 1 at 9 p.m.). Given the other current problems The CW is facing, chances of a third season for “Hart of Dixie” are still optimistic.
