Ratings: Broadcast Finals for March 22, 2013

Taking advantage of CBS airing NCAA tournament basketball, LAST MAN STANDING closes out the season on an up note, drawing nearly 8 million viewers and a 1.6 rating in Adults 18-49, for its season finale. That represents the series best ratings since last fall. It was the night's most watched program and tops A18-49 ratings.

ALSO going out on a good note was freshmen series MALIBU COUNTRY. It too generated some of its best numbers since the new year, with seven million viewers and a 1.4 demo rating. The comedy is on the fence for renewal, but has battled THE NEIGHBORS all year for being the top new comedy of the season.

CBS was off its average with coverage of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, just 4 million viewers and a 1.0 demo rating. Sadly enough, this was still good enough for CBS to be the #2 network on the evening.

For the Night:

ABC - 6.5 million viewers, 1.5 rating in Adults 18-49

CBS - 3.5 million viewers, 1.0 rating in Adults 18-49

NBC - 3.9 million viewers, 1.0 rating in Adults 18-49

FOX - 2.8 million viewers, 0.8 rating in Adults 18-49

CW - 0.9 million viewers, 0.3 rating in Adults 18-49
