Ratings Update: “Undateable” Falls Slightly, “One Big Happy” Holds Despite “Voice” Re-Run

Update: Tuesday’s “The Voice” clip show (2.0 adults 18-49 rating, 8.57 million viewers) fared markedly worse than original episodes typically do in the timeslot.

Despite that reality, NBC’s comedy lead-outs avoided big week-over-week drops.  “Undateable” fell very slightly (1.4 adults 18-49 rating with 4.98 million viewers this week vs. a 1.5 with 5.18 million last week), while “One Big Happy” matched its previous demo rating and bested its previous viewership total (1.2 rating with 3.82 million viewers this week vs. a 1.2 with 3.79 million last week).

NBC closed its evening with a “Chicago Fire” re-run (0.9, 3.87 million).

Instead of airing an original edition of “The Voice,” NBC slotted a clip show in the Tuesday at 8PM timeslot this week.

As a result, comedies “Undateable” and “One Big Happy” avoid credit for avoiding major drops.

Despite dramatically reduced lead-in support (a 1.9 adults 18-49 rating with 8.37 million viewers for this week’s “The Voice” special versus a 2.8 with 11.62 million for last week’s airing), “Undateable” nearly matched last week’s demo and viewership marks.

Per fast national data, this week’s “Undateable” drew a 1.4 adults 18-49 rating with 5.05 million viewers. Last week’s episode scored a 1.5 with 5.18 million in the finals.

“One Big Happy,” which leads out of “Undateable,” matched last week’s 1.2 adults 18-49 rating and actually enjoyed a slight week-over-week gain in viewership. This week’s episode reached 3.98 million viewers; last week’s attracted 3.79 million.

Neither show should be celebrated for its ultimately unremarkable ratings, but both deserve credit for holding up in the face of more difficult circumstances.

NBC aired a re-run of “Chicago Fire” in the 10PM slot (0.9, 3.94 million).
