Preliminary Ratings: Sunday 03/27/2016

Is was a poor Easter viewing night for the broadcast networks, as the most watched program only drew 10.3 million viewers and only four programs posted an A18-49 rating at or above a 1.0. LITTLE BIG SHOTS, the night's #1 program, helped lead NBC over CBS and ABC, in two of the three key demos. The variety series was down by three million viewers and 27% in the demo, from last week. The two freshmen sitcoms tied THE GOOD WIFE for the lead at 9 PM, while HOLLYWOOD GAME NIGHT was last at 10 PM.

CBS did have four of the five most watched programs and edged out ABC, for second lace, in two of the demographic ratings. But, it was still a very poor showing, despite the holiday weekend.

ABC Sunday night is getting worse each week. ONCE UPON A TIME was the only ABC series to post a 1.0, or better, in the A18-49 demographic. THE FAMILY was the lowest rated original show of the evening, with just a 0.6 rating in the A18-49 demographic.

FOX was lifeless with an encore airing of GREASE: LIVE.
