The Question, Monday 4/1/13: Was NBC's Premiere Monday Fool's Gold?

NBC's "return to relevance" Monday went well enough, especially in the first two hours when The Voice hung a huge 4.8. But the lineup is not without its question marks coming into week two tonight. First, a finals downtick for Revolution left it right at its fall low point 2.6, a somewhat disappointing return especially considering how much The Voice overachieved. Then came Tuesday's ratings, when The Voice tumbled by 0.7 points from the Monday premiere. (In the fall, that drop was just 0.2 points, and then the show rose in week two.)

Both shows figure to drop tonight, but the degree of those drops will tell us whether there's anything to worry about. Was NBC's premiere Monday fool's gold? That's The Question for Monday, April 1, 2013.

The Voice PLUS Revolution Over/Under: 6.85.
