- NBC came down from its Super Monday numbers, with The Voice down a pretty nice 10% (still a bit stronger than the season one high) but Smash down a far scarier 26%. And considering the bizarre ending to Smash (some sort of retrospective montage late in the episode, a sense of finality at the end, then no preview for next week), I have a feeling we haven't found the floor yet.
- But NBC wasn't the only network that got smashed on a rather ridiculously down Monday that has many crying Nielsen foul. Nothing was up week-to-week and almost everything hit a season low. The biggest culprits were CBS' first three comedies, as How I Met Your Mother, 2 Broke Girls and Two and a Half Men all took 10%ish hits, plus yet another sizable Alcatraz drop. And we can throw away those late-2004 history books on House (2.4), which (over seven years later) finally did worse numbers than any of its early season one episodes.

Does HUT include DVR viewing? I'm sure a lot of people were watching Sunday's shows.
It is included. Not sure I buy "Valentine's Eve" is a thing though.
I wouldn't guess it is a thing either. My theory is that a significant number of people were watching what they DVRed on Sunday while they were watching the Grammys.
