0.7 (---) (---) (1.2) (1.2) (1.3) (---) (---) Pan Am

* ABC is likely grateful right now it only ordered eight hours of Spielberg’s “The River.” Good thing Bruce Greenwood is still shooting those Bad Robot “Star Trek” movies.

* "Body of Proof," which follows "River" now, hit a new personal worst.

* “Desperate Housewives” hit its lowest number ever last weekend. ABC announced long ago it won’t be back next season.

*  “Pan Am” hit a new personal low last weekend and looks grounded for good after this weekend’s episode.

0.7 (1.1) (0.8) (1.6) (1.3) (0.7) (1.1) (0.8) Rock Center

* Does NBC now air the biggest series on TV? “The Voice” is doing much better than “X Factor” (which never got above its 4.4 premiere) and better than any Thursday episode of “American Idol” aired this season. NBC is reportedly paying Christina Aguilera $10 million to judge next season. The three male judges are said to be getting $6 million each.

* Spielberg’s “Smash,” which follows “The Voice,” is NBC’s top scripted series. It fell far enough, though, to tie “Glee” this week.

* Now Carell-free, “The Office” is pulling its worst numbers in years.

* “Up All Night” only pulled a 1.5 in the post-“Office” slot. So that could be gone soon.

* “Are You There, Chelsea” is at the moment NBC’s lowest-rated sitcom.

* “30 Rock” continues to do worse than “Community” at 8 p.m. Thursdays.

1.1 (1.2) (1.2) (1.1) (1.1) (---) (0.4) (0.5) Fringe

* The Thursday edition of “American Idol” barely beat “The Voice” this week, but if one averages “Idol’s” Wednesday and Thursday episodes, “The Voice” comes out as the week’s top series. (Everything lost this week to CBS’ post-Whitney Grammy Awards, which hit a shocking 14.1.)

* Word that this would be final season for “House” did not help the medical drama’s numbers.

* Bad Robot’s “Alcatraz” is sinking fast. Spielberg’s Monday dinosaur drama “Terra Nova” never fell below 2.1.

* While NBC’s “Whitney” struggles, Whitney Cummings’ CBS sitcom “2 Broke Girls” has emerged as the biggest new sitcom in years.

* Sunday’s “Walking Dead” was the most-watched cable series episode ever. It beat the previous record-holder, October’s second-season “Dead” premiere.

* MTV’s “10 spot” is mammoth these days. “Teen Mom” is cable’s top series on Tuesday, “The Challenge” is cable’s top series on Wednesday and “Jersey Shore” is cable’s top series on Thursdays. (Mondays are pwned by History’s “Pawn Stars”; Fridays belong to Discovery’s “Gold Rush,” which beats everything on broadcast that night.)
