Thursday night had CBS airing the first day of March Madness. It didn't do all that much with games on several different channels. On ABC, Grey's Anatomy was up six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo but the other two dramas couldn't follow. Scandal was up three tenths in viewers but even in the demo with last week's series low while The Catch was up a tenth in viewers but down a tenth in the demo to a weak 0.7. On NBC, Superstore was up seven tenths in viewers and even in the demo. An encore of Trial & Error was quietly subbed in for a new Powerless which doesn't bode well for Powerless. At 9pm, Chicago Med had a good week as it was up 1.1 million viewers and three tenths in the demo. It has sung from a 1.7 to a 1.1 to a 1.4 demo the past three weeks. At 10pm, The Blacklist: Redemption was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. On FOX, Masterchef Junior was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo while week two of Kicking & Screaming was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Chicago Med (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Kicking & Screaming (FOX)
