CBS's broadcast of the Grammy Awards (3.24) dropped by 17% in the Adults 18-49 demographic when compared to the year-ago ceremony (3.91), but the decline in viewership (-6.5%) was less dramatic. NBA on NBC (0.76/0.55) was respectable, even as it paled in comparison to the Grammys. ABC went with repeats of America's Funniest Home Videos (0.44/0.30) and American Idol (0.14). The CW's showing of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (0.07) beat Fox's encore of Fear Factor: House of Fear (0.06). Key: (R) = repeat.
