Good ratings for the Sing Off
Media Matters:
NBC's "The Sing-Off" got off to a fine enough start last night, posting the network's best ratings in its timeslot since September, albeit on a night where NBC has struggled with "Heroes" and "Trauma."
The show averaged a 2.3 adults 18-49 rating from 8 to 10 p.m., according to Nielsen overnights, second in the timeslot to CBS's all-original comedy block, which nearly doubled that rating with a 4.5.
"Sing-Off" peaked with a 2.4 rating at 8:30 p.m., and its ratings were very consistent throughout the two-hour block, which is a good sign. It means viewers did not flee the show in its second hour.
The a cappella reality show, hosted by former 98 Degrees singer Nick Lachey, was up 53 percent over NBC's 1.5 average in the timeslot last week, when it aired repeats of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit."
"Sing-Off" will air for three more weeknights. If the program can maintain that rating, it will be a solid filler for NBC, on a week when it would have otherwise aired mostly reruns.
