After several weeks of taking a back seat to special programming such as the Winter Olympics and the Oscars, The Big Bang Theory on CTV was back at the top of the Numeris charts. The comedy took in the highest average-minute audience of all single-night programs in Canada for the week of Mar. 5 to 11, taking in 3.37 million viewers.
Its prequel, Young Sheldon, came in second for the week, albeit not closely; the younger Sheldon Cooper pulled in an average of 2.66 million viewers.
One regular top performer, The Good Doctor, was off for the week, paving the way for three Global shows to round out the top-five: Survivor (2.16 million viewers), NCIS (2.08 million viewers) and Bull (2.01 million viewers).
The markets seemed to rally around The Big Bang Theory, with the comedy taking every measured (Anglophone) city. Young Sheldon was a runner-up in every market except Vancouver/Victoria.
In the French market, La Voix and Fugueuse continued to dominate, although both lost viewers over last week.
