Last night’s episode of Smash, “Hell on Earth,” was a little more entertaining than the opposite that was last week’s, “The Coup.” Smash got a 5 percent bump for a 2.2 rating among adults with an average of 6.09 million viewers. Smash capped off the evening for NBC with a third-place 4.6/ 7 at 10 p.m. (which was 19 percent below older skewing year-ago occupant Harry’s Law).
