The Voice & SMASH Debut SOLID In The Ratings!

Yes! Maybe 2012 will be NBC’s year!
Lat night was a WIN for the Peacock network between the return of The Voice and the premiere of SMASH. Taking it’s place at its regular time slot, The Voice averaged a demo rating of 6.6, and impressively swelled every half hour, starting at a 5.3 and ending at 7.7.
As for the newbie, SMASH started off solidly with a 4.2 demo rating, then slipped to a 3.4 come its second half-hour averaging out to a 3.8. We imagine that number will go up next week, since a lot of people watched the show online before its premiere. Next week, the HAVE to tune in to see what Anjelica Huston will do next! (Have we mentioned we adore her?!)
Did U tune in for the NBC lineup last night? What did U think?
