On Easter night, CBS had an overrun of the Masters Golf tournament that lasted nearly an hour. The overrun did help 60 Minutes rise 1.6 million viewers and eight tenths in the demo. The Amazing Race followed and was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, doing well for starting nearly an hour later. For some reason, CBS chose to keep The Good Wife repeat instead of starting the season finale of CSI: Miami on time. Despite airing mostly in the 11pm hour, Miami did not do terribly. Now it must wait to see if it was a series finale or not as the show is on the bubble. I predict that it will come back though.

ABC used Easter Sunday to test out GCB in the 9pm slot with a double dip of episodes. The 9pm episode hit a series low but didn't do terribly considering it was Easter and behind repeats. The better news was that the 10pm episode held steady from last week in the demo and was down just four tenths in viewers. Basically it wasn't a great or terrible night from GCB. Over on NBC, Dateline NBC was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo, Harry's Law was down four tenths in viewers but up two tenths in the demo from its last airing two weeks ago, and Celebrity Apprentice was up half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo from last week's three hour edition.
