Broadcast TV Ratings for Thursday, March 20, 2008 March 21, 2008 1:33 pm

It was a very competitive Thursday night, as NBC, CBS, ABC and FOX all finished within 750,000 viewers of each other.

The reason for the closeness was a reduced showing from CBS, which aired the first round of the NCAA tournament. CBS was off by 2.03 million or 19% among viewers and 13% among adults 18-49 from last year’s round 1 coverage, allowing NBC to take first place among both households and viewers, but the network was third among adults 18-49.

Despite the lower than average numbers for CBS, the network still managed to take first among adults 18-49, holding off ABC who was a competitive second place in the demo.

In time period debut news Miss Guided fell off by a disappointing 2.94 million or 32% among viewers and 19% among adults 18-49 from its series debut back on Tuesday. The weak showing bled into Lost, which took another weekly dip, falling by 7% among viewers and 10% among adults 18-49, while Eli Stone remained consistent from the week prior.

And rounding out the rest of the evening, Fox saw a slight drop from Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader, but Don’t Forget the Lyrics! kept the network within its normal viewer levels, while on The CW Smallville turned out a below-average performance, but that didn’t hurt Reaper, which saw a nice bump from the week prior.

Fox’s American Idol easily carried the network to first place on the evening, while The Moment of Truth did well starting off the night for the network.

Elsewhere on the evening, NBC held off CBS for second place among households, though fell further behind among viewers and adults 18-49, while CBS got okay results from a special Wednesday edition of Survivor (because of the NCAA Tournament tonight–Thursday).

ABC’s Dancing With the Stars went up against Fox’s American Idol, with AI, predictably, coming out on top.

The series premiere of Miss Guided on ABC tuned in mixed results. It’s overall audience was fairly solid (just 10,000 viewers shy of 10 million), but it’s retention numbers from its Dancing With the Stars lead-in could have been much better (60% among viewers and 72% among adults 18-49).

Elsehwere on the evening The Biggest Loser on NBC held steady in the face of the increased competition and The CW’s One Tree Hill rebounded nicely from last week’s poor showing, growing by 17% among viewers and 27% among adults 18-49.
