On CBS, prime-time coverage of the NCAA men's basketball tournament scored yearly gains in viewers and key demographics.

On the midseason front, there was a slight drop for the second episode of ABC's comedy "The Job," but it fared better than NBC's "First Years" and Fox's "The Lone Gunmen," which struggled on Monday and Friday nights, respectively. STEVE LINAN 8:00 a.m. With the lowest-rated Academy Awards on record, ABC had a bit less to crow about even though the network handily won the week, based on viewing estimates issued Tuesday by Nielsen Media Research. While the average audience of 42.9 million viewers for Sunday's telecast hosted by Steve Martin was down 7 from last year, it was No. 1 across all demographics and teens.

The tallies for ABC's Oscar preview show and Barbara Walters' annual interview special also lost ground from 2000. Meanwhile, Fox flexed its muscle that evening with a repeat of Arnold Schwarzenegger's action film "True Lies," which performed well among adults 18-49. National Nielsen Vlewershlp 9:30 a.m. Here are the rankings for national prime-time network television last week (March 19-25) as compiled by Nielsen Media Research. They are based on the average number of people who watched a program from start to finish.

Nielsen estimates that there are 260 million potential U.S. viewers age 2 and older. Viewership is listed here in millions.
