Spotted Ratings, Thursday 3/28/13


WHAT MATTERS:
  • Week two of March Madness was naturally much stronger than week one, with better games and only one competing game on cable. The preliminary 2.3 rating for CBS primetime was even with the second Thursday of last year on 3/22/13, and the finals for the combined games were also even year-to-year (down in the early game and up in the late one).
  • It was a relatively light night for entertainment originals with NBC and CBS out of the mix aside from the last two eps of 1600 Penn. But the stuff on Fox and ABC was down a bit anyway, and Wife Swap took a noticeable dip in its second week in the dreaded ABC lead-off role. The diminishing potency of the American Idol lead-in was on display as Fox's Raising Hope tryout actually did worse than the show's normal Tuesday numbers.
