Week 29 (April 8-14) Analysis: After a huge NCAA Championship Game rating on Monday, CBS is a clear leader right now. Through the final first four night network averages, CBS is in first in HH/total viewers and also in adults 18-49. For second place in 18-49, Fox and NBC are battling, with ABC trailing. In HH/viewers, CBS has a big lead over ABC and Fox, while NBC trails in fourth. When the week is done, CBS should hang on and take the week in 18-49 again, thanks to NCAA Final Championship Game on Monday. CBS will also take total viewers for sure. More on that later. As for the previous week, week 28, CBS was first in adults 18-49 with a 2.7 rating, compared to a 1.7 for second place Fox and NBC. ABC was right behind with a 1.6. Among total viewers, it was of course CBS on top easily over second place ABC. NBC edged out Fox for third place once again.

Monday had CBS win over NBC thanks to the NCAA Championship Game. But first, ABC started with a two-hour Dancing with the Stars from 8-10pm and did 13.15 million and a 2.1 18-49 rating, which is down a tenth in 18-49 from previous week. Then Castle was a repeat at 10 and did 7.18 million and a 1.2 18-49 rating. A brand new episode this week and for the rest of the season. For NBC, they had the two-hour The Voice from 8-10pm that did 14.03 million and a 5.0 18-49 rating, which is up three tenths in 18-49 from previous week for a season high and great against the NCAA game. At 10pm, the third week of the Revolution return did 6.07 million and a 2.2 18-49 rating, on par in 18-49 with previous week, as it is struggling since its return. CBS preempted its regular line-up of How I Met Your MotherRules of Engagement,  2 Broke GirlsMike & Molly and Hawaii Five-0 but they started with a repeat of 2 Broke Girls at 8pm and did 5.29 million and a 1.5 18-49 rating. At 8:30pm, a special repeat of The Big Bang Theory did 6.6 million and a 2.0 18-49 rating, which is good. At 9pm, the NCAA 17-minute pre-game did 11.78 million and a 3.6 18-49 rating, followed by the game itself from 9:17-11:51pm doing 23.43 million and a 8.4 18-49 rating. Huge.  Fox aired a repeat of Bones at 8 and it did 4.28 million and a 1.1 18-49 rating. At 9pm, week twelve of new drama The Following at 9pm did 6.3 million and a 2.2 18-49 rating, which is on par in 18-49 with previous week's series low. A little concerning, but still OK even with all of this live competition. The CW aired the finale of The Carrie Diaries at 8 and did 1.0 million and a 0.4 18-49 rating, which is up a tenth in 18-49 from previous week. The CW Mondays suck, where is 7th Heavenwhen you need it?  At 9, 90210 was preempted for a Hart of Dixie repeat that did 0.51 million and a 0.2 18-49 rating, on par in 18-49 with previous week.
