On Monday night, it was Dancing with the Stars vs. The Voice for week two. Dancing was down eight tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo from last week's premiere. That's not a bad drop but a 3.2 demo is pretty low for Dancing. Later on ABC, Castle easily won its time period with Hawaii Five-0 in repeats and it was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. On NBC, The Voice was even in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. While a season low, it trounced Dancing in the demo even though it was trounced in total viewers. It skews much younger. At 10pm, Smash was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo for a series low. This may keep dropping but it's already been renewed. FOX aired the final two episodes of the season (and likely series) of Alcatraz. The 8pm episode was pretty much on par with last week while the 9pm episode was down to a series low. This show started strong but faded and is highly unlikely to come back.
