NBC was a solid third at a 4.3/11, led by an hour’s worth of The Office at a 5.1/12 from 8 p.m.-9 p.m. Earl averaged a 3.7/11, its best numbers since February, NBC said.
Fox and The CW were left to divvy up the remaining ratings points, with Fox a distant fourth at a 1.9/5 for its reality lineup of Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader and Don't Forget the Lyrics. The CW was fifth with a 1.4/4 for Smallville and a repeat of new show Reaper.
