Ratings: Elementary, Game Night Only Shows to Hold Steady on Easter

Eight of 10 broadcast programs not surprisingly found coal in their basket this Easter, facing the cruel quadfecta of depressed holiday viewing, Daylight Savings Time, The Walking Dead and late-round March Madness action. #GoOrange

NBC’s Little Big Shots dominated with 10.3 million total viewers and a 1.9 demo rating — even while dropping 23 and 27 percent week-to-week. Carmichael Show (4.7 mil/1.0) in turn slipped 6 percent and three tenths, while Crowded (3.6 mil/0.8) lost two tenths.

Closing NBC’s night, Hollywood Game Night (2.8 mil/0.7) was steady.
