Note: The following labels are based on the household overnights and are subject to change given the availability of other pending data streams. The overnights are your first look at what to potentially expect when the other results come in. And we always take into account other benchmarks including the expected demographic ratings, potential DVR usage, the critical acclaim (or lack of) and the social media presence. Keep in mind, as always, that results for any live sporting event are always approximate.
-Winners:
“Dancing with the Stars” (ABC), “The Voice” (NBC)
-Honorable Mention:
“Scorpion” (CBS), “NCIS: Los Angeles” (CBS)
-Losers (excluding repeats):

Ratings Breakdown:
ABC opened this fourth Monday in March on a typically winning overnight note care of “Dancing With the Stars,” which scored a 9.4 rating/15 share in households from 8-10 p.m. Last week, a 9.8 in the overnights for “Dancing With the Stars” translated into 14.16 million viewers and a 2.1 rating/7 share among adults 18-49 (based on the Live + Same Day data), so the show is still very healthy. But competing “The Voice” on NBC, which trailed with a 7.9/12 in the overnights, owns the night in all the key young adult demos, and its advantage will remain significant. As for this season of “DWTS,” it is obviously all about Rumer Willis.
Tops in the 10 p.m. hour was “NCIS: Los Angeles” on CBS, with a 5.8/10, which was 76 percent above failed year-ago occupant “Hostages” (3.3/ 6 on 3/24/14). “Castle” on ABC, which is beginning to show its age, followed with a 5.5/ 9 (down 15 percent from the 6.5/11 one year earlier). And in the distant No. 3 spot was “The Night Shift” on NBC (3.4/ 6), which held only 43 percent of the 9:30 p.m. portion of “The Voice” (7.9/12). Another episode of “The Night Shift” is scheduled tonight at 10 p.m. opposite “Forever” on ABC and “Person of Interest” on CBS.
Earlier in the evening on CBS were sitcoms “2 Broke Girls” (#3: 4.9/ 8) and “Mike & Molly” (#3: 5.1/ 8) from 8-9 p.m., followed by freshman hit “Scorpion” at a 6.1/ 9 (#3) from 9-10 p.m. Comparably, “Scorpion” built from “Mike & Molly” by 20 percent and from year-ago occupants “Mike & Molly” (5.5/ 8 on 3/24/15) and “Mom” (5.0/ 8) by 16 percent in the overnights.
Elsewhere, two episodes of fading Fox drama “The Following” could not compete, with a distant 2.5/ 4 from 8-10 p.m. One year earlier, the regularly scheduled 9 p.m. edition of “The Following” scored a 3.4/ 5 in the overnights. And The CW populated the evening with encore telecasts of “The Originals” and “Jane the Virgin,” which each scored a 0.5/ 1.
In late night, “The Late Late Show with James Corden” on CBS debuted at a 1.4/ 5 in the household overnights from 12:30-1:30 a.m., which was 27 percent above the 1.1/ 4 for Craig Ferguson on the year-ago evening. It led out of a 2.2/ 6 for David Letterman from 11:30 p.m.-12:30 a.m., and its competition – “Late Night with Seth Meyers” on NBC – scored a 1.2/ 4 (out of a 2.4/ 6 for “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”). ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” (2.4/ 6) led into a 1.4/ 5 for “Nightline” in the 12:30 a.m. half-hour.
