CBS won the week in viewers, adults 18-49 and adults 25-54 for the second consecutive week. CBS's top 10 broadcasts included NCIS, THE BIG BANG THEORY, CAMPAIGN 2016 REPUBLICAN DEBATE, NCIS: NEW ORLEANS, SCORPION, BLUE BLOODS, 60 MINUTES, MADAM SECRETARY, NCIS: LOS ANGELES and LIFE IN PIECES.

Among adults 18-49, THE BIG BANG THEORY was the week's top broadcast, with NCIS, CAMPAIGN 2016 REPUBLICAN DEBATE, SCORPION and LIFE IN PIECES all finishing in the top 10 (including ties).
