SOLID VICTORY FOR CBS
It was a solid Thursday victory for CBS with its combination of The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, Person of Interest and Elementary (according to the fast affiliate results from Nielsen). And, yes, viewers are still watching Two and a Half Men, Angus T. Jones, which averaged 13.81 million viewers and a 4.1 rating/11 share among adults 18-49 at 8:30 p.m. (out of 17.15 million and a 5.4/16 in the demo for The Big Bang Theory).
Elsewhere, viewers have abandoned canceled drama Last Resort on ABC, which sunk to a series-low 1.0/ 3 among adults 18-49 at 8 p.m. Beauty and The Beast on The CW has not earned its full season renewal. And not even the wedding of Liz Lemon (Tiny Fey) on NBC’s 30 Rock could ignite interest in the soon-to-conclude sitcom (or the remainder of the Peacock net schedule). But sophomore Scandal on ABC remains a respectable fit out of veteran Gray’s Anatomy; and Glee on Fox scored its largest audience in almost two months (with 5.80 million viewers).
