New Normal takes expected ratings hit without The Voice lead-in; here's last week's new episode, Dairy Queen

Ratings may be off but the brilliant comedy's quality isn't.

From the Hollywood Reporter:

NBC had two new episodes of Betty White's Off Their Rockers (1.5 and 1.8 adults). While both episodes were down double digits from last winter's premieres, those did not air in the first hour of primetime. Go On (1.5 adults) and The New Normal (1.3 adults) both took expected spills without a lead from The Voice. The comedies were down 38 and 24 percent, respectively.

Also coming off a series low from its January 22 show, The New Normal (1.1/3) was also down 8% from last week. That’s also a new series low for the Ryan Murphy produced comedy. NBC wrapped up the night with a special Dateline (1.3/4).
