Basketball, competitions and Empire led the week as the NCAA tourney continued on CBS. The Voice and Dancing with the Stars led for their networks and Empire reassured FOX it could hold on to its winter audience.
CBS made renewal announcements last week for most of its current schedule. Of the remaining programs in question, Criminal Minds, Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders and Great Indoors should get renewal nods as well once details are finalized. At the other end, 2 Broke Girls and The Odd Couple both squeaked renewals last year, but ratings for both have been mediocre at best this season, chances are low either show will manage another lucky break.

Dancing with the Stars premiered on ABC and won the week for the network, starting about where it ended last fall. Grey's Anatomy and Scandal also did well for the week, though both were low compared to previous weeks. The Catch held steady, however its numbers were not great. Time After Time fell another two tenths last week and cancellation is probable.

FOX Wednesday night continued to lead the network as Empire roared back into the top spot and scored higher than its last aired episode in December. Shots Fired opened Wednesday with good numbers, off just a smidge from where Lethal Weapon scored in the same slot.
