Spotted Ratings, Wednesday 4/27/11


WHAT MATTERS:
  • Leading out of below-average repeats of The Middle and Modern Family respectively, originals of Better with You and Cougar Town built slightly but were way below average. It's a disheartening result for Better considering its decent post-Dancing showing earlier in the week, but yet another notch in favor of my "don't make much of special airings" creed. The soft 8:00-10:00 returns didn't stop Happy Endings from having a pretty nice result at 10:00, up three ticks from last week (and five ticks from the 10:30 ep compared below) despite facing bigger competition. That's why I wanted to see one more result last week; it was close, and this may be a game-changer back in its favor.
  • A repeat of last night's huge The Voice premiere did some solid business for a repeat. Does that mean another of these two-hour repeats airs next Wednesday at 8:00 (leading into the returning Law & Order: SVU)? Maybe. It'd definitely improve on Minute to Win It, but I tend to think this result might be a bit deceptive as to how much. It only got a 1.7 in the half-hour when it faced Idol, and HUT is lower at 8:00. We'll see which way NBC goes.
