Ratings Breakdown:
There was positive news aplenty last night for dominant NBC, which featured the time period debuts of sitcoms Go On and The New Normal and the season-premiere of drama Parenthood. Parenthood, as expected, did not resonate in the overnights. It never does. But a one-hour edition of The Voice won the 8 p.m. hour with an 8.1 rating/14 share, making the decision to air the singing competition in the fall a smart one. Next was Go On at a first-place 6.6/10 at 9 p.m., which held a very respectable 78 percent of the 8:30 p.m. portion of The Voice (8.5/14). And The New Normal (an early Mr. TV favorite) followed with a dominant 5.1/ 8 at 9:30 p.m. (which held 77 percent of The New Normal lead-in). The combination of The Voice, Go On and The New Normal was a double-digit percent improvement, no doubt, from fall 2011 time period occupant The Biggest Loser.

At 10 p.m., Parenthood opened its season with a second-place 4.1/ 7 in the overnights at 10 p.m., which trailed a repeat of competing NCIS: Los Angeles on CBS (4.7/ by 13 percent. But it is poised for victory among adults 18-49. This fall, Parenthood faces returning Private Practice on ABC and new drama Vegas on CBS.

Earlier in the evening on CBS were encore telecasts of NCIS (#2: 5.8/14) and a Tuesday edition of Hawaii Five-O (#2: 4.6/ 7) from 8-10 p.m.

Over at Fox, So You Think You Can Dance, which concludes for the season next Tuesday, scored a lackluster 3.3/ 5 in the overnights from 8-10 p.m.

Elsewhere, ABC could not compete care of encore telecasts of The Middle (#4: 2.9/ 5), Last Man Standing (#3: 3.1/ 5), Happy Endings (#4: 1.7/ 3), Don’t Trust the B____ in Apartment 23 (#4: 1.6/ 2) and Private Practice (#3: 1.4/ 3). And The CW populated the evening with repeats of Hart of Dixie (#5: 0.7/ 1) and failing singing completion The Next (#5: 0.5/ 1), which is certainly not The Voice. As mentioned in the past, relocated Happy Endings and Don’t Trust the B____ in Apartment 23 is an hour on Tuesday ABC will have to address at some point. It is unlikely to resonate this fall.
