A replay of last week at the top. Reruns of The Big Bang Theory again kept TBS at the top with adults 18-49 in primetime and USA continued its primetime lead in viewership for the week ending March 18.
Once a rarity, Disney again eclipsed Nickelodeon in total day viewing and its margin of victory was a little bit wider than last week.
