NBC had the best results of the night as The Voice was down two tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo and led into many eyeballs to their coverage of the debates. On ABC, Dancing with the Stars was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week's results at 9pm. Next week brings Happy Endings and Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 at 9pm. FOX had some trouble with its one hour of sitcoms. Raising Hope was up two tenths in viewers and down a tenth in the demo which is not bad but Ben and Kate fell another half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo to another series low. Remind me why FOX gave 6 additional episodes to a show that can't get 3 million viewers and above a 1.2 in the demo? Maybe no New Girl had something to do with it but these are real bad numbers no matter what.
