Helped by its continuing coverage of the NCAA Basketball Tournament, CBS’s original lineup of programming led the network to a comfortable first place finish among both households and viewers.

ABC, however, managed to snag a first place finish among the key adults 18-49 demographic, as the network saw Oprah’s Big Give rebound nicely from last week’s below-average numbers, improving by 1.54 million/16% among viewers and 15% among A18-49.

It was business as usual for the other networks, with NBC following in third, Fox in fourth (but third among A18-49) and The CW a very, very distant last place.

The two-hour season finale of The Celebrity Apprentice powered NBC to a rare win last night among households, viewers and adults 18-49.  Not only did ‘Apprentice’ improve significantly over last week’s numbers, but it showed an even more impressive improvement over last season’s finale (which aired on a Sunday last April).  Compared to last season’s finale, the series was up by a whopping 4.10 million/51% among viewers and 41% among adults 18-49.

NBC also won the 8:00 p.m. hour earlier in the night courtesy an improved Deal or No Deal.

Elsewhere on the evening, CBS’s coverage of the NCAA Basketball Tournament: Semi-finals fell significantly below the comparable games last year.  The coverage was down by 4.62 million/32% among viewers and 30% among adults 18-49 (last year’s semi-finals took place on Saturday, March 31, 2007).

Over on ABC, another set of back-to-back original episodes of Miss Guided were off just slightly from last week’s numbers, while Eli Stone took a small hit without the support of an original episode of Lost leading into it (-800,000/-11% among viewers and -17% among adults 18-49).

And rounding out the rest of the night, Fox got its usual solid performance from its two gameshows ’5th Grader’ and ‘Lyrics’, while The CW also remained mostly even from the week prior for original episodes of Smallville and Reaper.
