CBS edged out ABC to win the night with adults 18-49 and CBS easily won with total viewers. Due to the NCAA overruns, you'll have to wait to the finals are available tomorrow to know for sure how the CBS shows did, but with almost everything in last night's lineup already renewed, only CSI: Miami fans need to wait on pins and needles.

ABC's Once Upon A Time was steady vs. last week with another 2.9 adults 18-49 rating. Desperate Housewives fell a tenth vs. last week to a 2.5 adults 18-49 rating and GCB fell three tenths to a series low 2.0 adults 18-49 rating. Those who claimed I moved GCB from on the bubble to likely renewal too soon, I acknowledge all your "I told you so!'s" in advance.

NBC's Harry's Law was steady with another anemic 1.1 adults 18-49 rating and Celebrity Apprentice dropped another two tenths to a season low 1.8 adults 18-49 rating between 9-11p, and that also ties a series low for the celebrity version of the franchise.

Fox's The Cleveland Show was down a tenth to a 1.5 adults 18-49 rating, but The Simpsons and Bob's Burgers were each up a tenth versus last week with adults 18-49. Family Guy and American Dad were steady vs. last week.
