* At 8 p.m. ET, "Fashion Star" (0.7/3 in 18-49, 2.9 million viewers overall) finished within 0.1 of a point of its previous 18-49 rating (which matched the series high), despite the prior week's preemption for news coverage. In total viewers, "Fashion Star" is currently running within 1 percent of that prior telecast (2.916 million vs. 2.945 million on April 12), making this the #2 "Fashion Star" since March 8, when the season premiere averaged 2.961 million viewers (pending updates).

"Grimm" built on its lead-in last night by 86 percent in 18-49 rating and 67 percent in total viewers. "Grimm" is the #1 scripted series in the time period on CBS, NBC and Fox in every key demographic.

In total viewers, it's the #2 "Rock Center" in four weeks (since March 29).
