Update:<\/b> Indications from the overnight ratings proved correct; the first half of CBS’ Thursday lineup performed like a monster.<\/p>\n

“The Big Bang Theory” delivered a whopping 5.6 adults 18-49 rating with 18.9 million viewers for its hourlong premiere. The second half hour, which drew a 5.8 to boost the overall rating, dazzled with an audience of 19.51 million.<\/p>\n

Benefiting from that impressive lead-in, “The Crazy Ones” started with an impressive 4.0 rating and 15.61 million viewers. “Two and a Half Men,” which aired in its new 9:30PM timeslot, was good for a 2.9 and 11.54 million.<\/p>\n

“Elementary” closed CBS’ evening with a 2.1 rating and 10.14 million viewers.<\/em>
\n===========<\/p>\n

Referencing James Wolk’s presence in both, “not great, Bob” was the clever reaction many “Mad Men” fans communicated about Thursday’s premiere of “The Crazy Ones.”<\/p>\n

While that might apply to the show’s quality, it cannot, however, apply to the show’s ratings.<\/p>\n

Fueled by a monster double dose of “The Big Bang Theory,” which delivered an 11.9 overnight metered market rating at 8PM and a whopping 12.3 at 8:30PM, “Ones,” starring Wolk, Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar, drew an impressive 10.6 rating to rank as the highest-rated premiere (in the overnights; “SHIELD” might retain the 18-49 crown) this season.<\/p>\n

It is not expected to be television’s youngest-skewing show, but with a household rating so large, its performance in the adults 18-49 demo is sure to be solid.<\/p>\n

“Two and a Half Men” followed with a modest, but still sizable 7.9 for the debut of Amber Tamblyn as Charlie Harper’s daughter, while “Elementary” closed out CBS’ night at a 6.6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[3,437],"tags":[275,882,150,276,366],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nHuge "Big Bang Theory" Ratings Fuel "The Crazy Ones"<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update: Indications from the overnight ratings proved correct; the first half of CBS' Thursday lineup performed like a monster.
