Final Broadcast Ratings: March 21, 2017

With ABC and CBS in encores and FOX and The CW the only competition in originals, NBC had a very easy time sweeping the night in the ratings. THE VOICE was #1 on the night, with 10.8 million viewers and a 2.3 rating in Adults 18-49. But even with less competition, THE VOICE is down 900,000 viewers and 10% in the A18-49 demographic, week-to-week. New sitcom, TRIAL & ERROR posted relatively good numbers, for an NBC comedy, but lost roughly half of its lead in audience. For the short term, T&E is, at best, on the bubble for renewal.

The CW topped FOX in the A18-34 demographic and tied FOX in the A18-49 demo, for the night. THE FLASH toped the FOX comedies and was #2 overall, at 8 PM. BONES was last at 9 PM in the A18-34 demo and couldn't an encore of BULL, placing 4th in the 9 PM hour.
