CABLE ORIGINALS:  With no GOLD RUSH on Discovery, Lifetime’s BRING IT took the night’s cable title, up 0.07 from last week to 0.55.  Adult Swim’s CHILDRENS HOSPITAL ticked down to 0.52.  ESPN’s coverage of the NCAA BASKETBALL ACC Tournament was at 0.48 (the late game was at 0.34), with ESPN2’s Big 12 Tournament coverage at 0.37, preceded by a 0.28 game.  On a busy news night, CNN placed a pair of broadcasts in the Top 10, both at 0.42, and FOX News joined them at 0.39/0.38.  Disney’s GIRL MEETS WORLD returned at 0.42, after a 0.32 lead-in from BUNKD.  HGTV’s HOUSE HUNTERS: WHERE ARE THEY NOW was at 0.39, and MY LOTTERY DREAM HOUSE was at 0.34.  On HBO, REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER climbed 0.04 to 0.37, VICE slipped 0.01 to 0.19, and ANIMALS rose 0.02 to 0.12.  Discovery felt the lack of GOLD RUSH keenly, anchored instead by YUKON MEN at 0.35, almost a full point below last week’s score.  On Food Network, DINERS, DRIVE-INS & DIVES was at 0.27, and BURGERS, BREW & QUE was steady at 0.25, while AMERICAN DINER REVIVAL fell 0.05 to 0.20.  History’s AMERICAN RESTORATION ticked up to 0.19, and MILLION DOLLAR GENIUS lost 0.02 to 0.13.  On TLC, SAY YES TO THE DRESS dropped 0.05 to 0.17, and LOVE LUST OR RUN shrank by 0.07 to 0.15.  Bravo’s THE PEOPLE’S COUCH managed an extra 0.01 to 0.15.
