Spotted Ratings, Sunday 3/25/12

WHAT MATTERS:

• ABC's GCB dropped in finals but still got back a tick from last week's drop and was in a virtual three-way tie at 10:00. If this is where it's stabilized, it has a good chance to be back.

• Harry's Law took yet another brutal demo drop and is now actually taking a noticeable dip from its Dateline lead-in. Celebrity Apprentice remains down by enormous amounts year-to-year and, like everything at 9/8c, saw no bounce from the departure of The Walking Dead.

• Second-tier cartoons The Cleveland Show, Bob's Burgers and American Dad! all held up pretty well despite repeats from anchors The Simpsons and Family Guy, but keep in mind those animated anchors repeat as well as anything on TV as a percentage of the original numbers; they were each down only a little over 20% from the week-ago originals.
