NBC spins the numbers for Tuesday, October 2.

[via press release from NBC]

Tuesday Results:

· A recap episode of "The Voice" from 8-9:01 p.m. ET (2.9/9 in 18-49, 8.2 million viewers overall) ranked #2 in the time period in 18-49 among ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox and #1 among those networks in adults 18-34 ahead of CBS's "NCIS," ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" Results Show and Fox's comedies "Raising Hope" and "Ben & Kate," pending updates. "The Voice" grew by 0.3 of a point in 18-49 from half-hour to half-hour, the biggest gain in the hour among ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox.

· The recap edition of "The Voice" is up 45 percent versus NBC's average in the time period last season in 18-49 rating (2.9 vs. 2.0) and up 34 percent in total viewers (8.221 million vs. 6.116 million).

· Note the Tuesday "Voice" has grown by 0.2 in official nationals versus these preliminary fast-affiliate ratings the last two weeks.

· From 9:01-9:31 p.m. ET "Go On" averaged a 2.2/6 in 18-49 and 6.0 million viewers overall with a reduced lead-in from a recap episode of "The Voice," retaining 81 percent of last week's 2.7 rating coming out of a higher-rated regular "Voice." In adults 18-34, "Go On" is tied for #2 in the slot among ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox and in women 18-34, "Go On" is #2 outright among those networks in a competitive time period versus CBS's "NCIS: LA," Fox's "The New Girl" and ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" Results Show.

· At 9:31-10 p.m. ET, "The New Normal" (1.7/5 in 18-49, 4.6 million in total viewers) is currently retaining 77 percent of its 18-49 lead-in from "Go On," up from last week's 74 percent and up from 65 percent two weeks ago. Pending updates, this is the top "New Normal" retention in four telecasts to date. In women 18-34, "New Normal" is #2 in the slot among ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox.

· Note that last week's "New Normal" retention of "Go On" increased from 74 percent in these next-day "live plus same day" numbers to 87 percent in "live plus three day" results.

· At 10 p.m. ET, "Parenthood" (1.7/5 in 18-49, 4.5 million in total viewers) finished within 0.4 of a point of "Vegas" (1.7 vs. 2.1), the #1 show in the slot on ABC, CBS and NBC, reducing the week-ago deficit of 0.7 of a point (1.8 vs. 2.5). "Parenthood" finished within 0.1 of its 1.8 rating in 18-49 last week, while the CBS competition in the slot dropped by 0.4 and the ABC competition declined by 0.3. "Parenthood" was also the only program on ABC, CBS or NBC that hour to maintain its 18-49 rating from its first half-hour to its second. In adults 18-34, "Parenthood" is tied for #2 in the slot among ABC, CBS and NBC and in women 18-34, "Parenthood" is #2 outright among those networks.

· Keep in mind that last season, "Parenthood" originals added an average of 47 percent to these next-day "live plus same day" ratings in 18-49 when Nielsen reported "live plus seven day" results.

In Late-Night Metered Markets Tuesday night:

· In Nielsen's 56 metered markets, household results were: "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," 2.7/7; CBS's "Late Show with David Letterman," 2.7/7; and ABC's combo of "Nightline," 2.9/7; and "Jimmy Kimmel Live," 1.6/5.
