At 10 p.m., “Parenthood” (2.7/8 in adults 18-49, 7.1 million viewers overall) dominated the time period in 18-49 and other key demos, delivering week-to-week gains of 17 percent in 18-49 (2.7 vs. 2.3) and 21 percent or more than 1.2 million persons in total viewers (7.1 million vs. 5.8 million) against ABC’s “V” recap and CBS’s “Good Wife” encore. “Parenthood” won the hour in 18-49 by a margin of 42 percent (2.7 vs. 1.9 for ABC’s second-place “V” recap).
