CBS and ABC split Easter Sunday, with CBS moving past ABC among households and viewers and ABC on top among adults 18-49, despite a weaker than average Desperate Housewives (the nights top-rated and most watched program).

CBS finished in first place for the evening with a 7.4/13 household rating and 11.93 million viewers, but had to settle for second place among adults 18-49 with a 2.9/8 rating.

Last Week

6.6/11 HH Rating [#1]

10.68M Viewers [#1]

2.8/8e A18-49 Rating [#2]

7:00 p.m.: 60 Minutes (8.1/16 HH rating, 12.92M viewers, 2.6/9 A18-49 rating) gave another one of its usual and dominant (among households and viewers) performance for CBS. It improved nicely from last weeks program, especially among adults 18-49 where it was up 30%.
- Week-to-week numbers:
  - Households – 7.5/14 to 8.1/16
  - Viewers – 11.61M to 12.92M
  - Adults 18-49 – 2.0/7 to 2.6/9
8:00 p.m.: The Amazing Race All-Stars (5.4/10 HH rating, 9.25M viewers, 2.9/8 A18-49 rating) remained solid from the week prior. Though overall audience is low, it must be noted the good strength and consistency among adults 18-49 (where it improved upon its lead-in by 12%, despite the loss of 3.67M viewers).
- Week-to-week numbers (vs. 8:00-10:00 p.m.):
  - Households – 5.3/8 to 5.4/10
  - Viewers – 8.95M to 9.25M
  - Adults 18-49 – 2.9/8 to 2.9/8
9:00 p.m.: Cold Case (7.2/11 HH rating, 11.50M viewers, 2.8/7 A18-49 rating) was probably the only disappointment of the evening for CBS, but was still strong overall. I say it was a mild disappointment because though it managed to grow from its lead-in among households and viewers, it actually dipped a little among adults 18-49. Nothing too major, just something worth noting. The loss can probably be contributed to airing against the returning Desperate Housewives.
- Week-to-week numbers (vs. 10:00-11:00 p.m.):
  - Households – 8.4/14 to 7.2/11
  - Viewers – 13.23M to 11.50M
  - Adults 18-49 – 3.5/9 to 2.8/7
10:00 p.m.: Without a Trace (9.1/15 HH rating, 14.08M viewers, 3.6/9 A18-49 rating) ended the evening for CBS in first place for the hour
- Episode-to-episode numbers (10:38-11:38 p.m. — 3/25/2007):
  - Households – 8.6/16 to 9.1/15
  - Viewers – 12.75M to 14.08M
  - Adults 18-49 – 3.2/9 to 3.6/9

ABC followed in second place for the evening with a 7.1/12 household rating and 11.55 million viewers, but was a much stronger first place among adults 18-49 with a 4.2/11 rating.
