CBS was in first Sunday night with an overall 2.4 rating/6
share with adults 18-49, according to Nielsen overnight numbers. The net's
lineup was offset by roughly 45 minutes due to overrun of the net's coverage of
the 2013 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. Final numbers will be available
later Monday.

originals. After a repeat of The Simpsons, Bob's Burgers remained even
with last week at 1.7. Family Guy rose 8% to a 2.6 and American Dad
returned to its 9:30 time slot up 21% to a 2.3.

season-low 1.5, while Dateline fell 15% to a 1.1, a season-low for a
