Spotted Ratings, Tuesday 9/18/12


WHAT MATTERS:
  • NBC had another pretty promising Tuesday, with The Voice following the Monday trend and surprisingly heading up by double digits. Go On ended up with a dead-even second Tuesday airing, which seems like a pretty encouraging result despite the bigger lead-in. The biggest decliner on NBC was The New Normal, down 12%, while Parenthood lost a tenth. Generally speaking, consider the second test passed, but the next one will be a lot tougher (as ABC, Fox and CBS should all be much stronger next week).
  • Fox wrapped up a pretty weak season of So You Think You Can Dance down by 20% from the year-ago finale. Will be interesting to see what happens with this one.
  • Even ABC and CBS are warming up for the new season as their repeats all posted their best numbers in the slots all summer. FX won the 10/9c hour again but was down a half-point from last week with Sons of Anarchy (2.3).
