RENEWAL ALERT: Smash

This week, NBC announced its second renewal for the fall season in Monday drama Smash. The most anticipated and most heavily promoted new NBC show hasn't done incredible but is pulling numbers better than all of NBC's other dramas. It benefits from having the huge lead-in of The Voice before it but that doesn't matter when NBC is in such dire need of dramas. Through seven episodes, Smash has averaged 7.7 million viewers and a 2.6 demo. Of course some of this is inflated by its 3.8 demo premiere.

Smash joins Grimm and Sunday Night Football as the only official NBC renewals. The Biggest Loser, Celebrity Apprentice, Dateline NBC, Law & Order: SVU, The Office, Parks and Recreation, and The Voice are sure to join it. 30 Rock, Awake, Community, Fashion Star, Harry's Law, Parenthood, Up All Night, and Whitney could go either way while Are You There Chelsea?, Bent, and The Firm are likely or certain goners. Still to debut is Betty White's Off Their Rockers and BFFs.
