Ratings: Fewer People Watching Smash…

NBC’s SMASH, which aired its third episode last night, dropped in ratings again- moving this week from 8.1 million to 6.5 million viewers. The series premiere earned the show a whopping 11.5 million viewers on February 6. Despite the ratings dip for the series, NBC still won the night with help from THE VOICE, with 15.7 million viewers.

Since the premiere, Smash has lost almost half of it’s viewers.  What are we going to do to make sure we don’t lose anymore viewers?  Tell everyone to watch!

Spoilers Before Episode 1×04 “The Cost of Art”

Check out these spoilers for Episodes 1×03 and 1×04.

Please do not continue reading if you do not want to be spoiled:

  • Ivy and Derek continue to hook up, though Ivy worries that it’s more business than pleasure.
  • Eileen did her little drink in the face routine. Two more times.
  • Derek invites Karen to drinks and tells her: “There’s a lot of changes coming fast” before saying she’s got too much talent for the ensemble. He then utters what might be the most frustrating line of the night: “It could take five years for Marilyn to get to the stage, and a lot can happen in five years.” Can you lay it on a little thicker? (You can, and he does in the next episode.)
  • Dev and Derek meet and have a British-off, Oxford vs. Cambridge, etc., etc., blah.
  • Michael Swift (Will Chase) makes his first appearance as their potential Joe DiMaggio, and we learn that he has a past with Julia (Debra Messing). We also learn that he’s got a wife and son he loves, so he’s torn. (We get it.) But first we have to sit through his performance of Bruno Mars’ song “Grenade” in another off-Broadway musical, and it’s not great.
  • Ellis continues to be super sketchy, going so far as to steal Julia’s notebook. Oh and supposedly he’s straight. Right. And he gets super sassy with Julia. And he overhears Julia telling Tom about her affair with Michael. Ellis knows all!
  • Julia and Tom can’t stop obsessing over Marilyn and Joe DiMaggio wanting a simple life. There’s a musical number there, but it’s not amazing. I’d be OK if it’s one of those we never see again.
  • Karen’s friends in Iowa are horrible, one-note characters who all call her “Broadway,” and they convince her to sing Gretchen Wilson’s “Redneck Woman,” barefoot in a karaoke bar. (Seriously why is she barefoot?) And that’s one of only two numbers for the night. Sad.
  • Karen’s dad gives her money, so if she quits that coffee shop gig entirely, that’s how she’s living off the $200 a week from the “Marilyn: The Musical” workshop. (source)

What’s The Scoop w/ Ivy and the Director?

EW.com has answered some questions and provided us with some brief (if we didn’t know) details with the two leads of the show:

LOVING Smash! But I HATE how Ivy slept her way to the role. Tell me she breaks it off with that awful man! — Sharon
I can tell you that…but it’d be a lie. The two continue to get hot and heavy, but that’s not to say Ivy (Megan Hilty) won’t begin to have her doubts about him in upcoming episodes. Meanwhile, Karen (Katharine McPhee) will soon have a new person in her life — several, in fact: Her fellow chorus members, who take her under their wing when she joins their ranks. Yay, bonding!
