Live + 7 Ratings: Top 7s for March 19-25

A couple of surprises pop out from this week's Live+7. Top 7 charts. First is the exclusion of THE VOICE in total viewers. It has been a regular since its premiere in early February. It ened up ranking 9th in total viewers with 14.02 million.

The second surprise was seeing CASTLE on the list at #6. Yes, it was tremendously helped by the season premiere of DANCING WITH THE STARS, but with 14.9 million viewers, that was an increast of 30% from its LIVE+SD ratings.

Not much of a difference in the Demo Top 7. After AI and THE VOICE, CBS takes the next five spots on the list.
