Update 2:<\/b> CBS’ “The Big Bang Theory” kicked off its temporary Monday run with a 5.4 adults 18-49 rating in both the 8PM and 8:30PM half hours. The first episode drew 18.03 million viewers, while the latter drew 18.24 million. Collectively, “Big Bang” was network television’s most-watched and highest-rated offering Monday night.<\/em><\/p>\n

New drama “Scorpion,” which led out of “Big Bang,” drew a 3.2 with 13.83 million viewers. “Under the Dome” then closed its second season with a 1.8 and 7.52 million.<\/em><\/p>\n

==========<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> Consistent with its impressive performance in the overnight household ratings race, CBS’ “The Big Bang Theory” dominated the hour among adults 18-49 and total viewers.<\/em><\/p>\n

The show’s latest season premiere drew a 5.3 adults 18-49 rating with 17.8 million viewers.<\/p>\n

Fueled by that impressive showing, new drama “Scorpion” followed with a healthy 3.3 adults 18-49 mark and 14.0 million viewers. Older-skewing than its “Big Bang” lead-in, the drama launch was its timeslot second best performer in adults 18-49 (behind “The Voice”) and best in total viewers.<\/p>\n

Leading out of “Scorpion,” the “Under the Dome” season finale drew a 1.8 adults 18-49 rating with 7.6 million viewers.
\n=========<\/p>\n

Barely losing a step in its temporary return to Monday nights, the season premiere of “The Big Bang Theory” led CBS to a strong performance in the overnight ratings race.<\/p>\n

Despite now facing Monday Night Football, “The Voice” and “Gotham,” all of which are considerably more intense than what “Big Bang” faced in its Thursday at 8PM timeslot, the hour-long “Big Bang” drew a dominant 11.1 overnight household rating Monday. That represented a decline of just 8% from last fall’s opener.<\/p>\n

Bolstered with the best non-sports lead-in available on network television, the 9PM series premiere of “Scorpion” then got off to a strong start. While it likely lost to NBC’s young-skewing “The Voice” in adults 18-49, the “Scorpion” premiere delivered a strong 8.9 overnight household rating.<\/p>\n

Up considerably from the numbers for CBS’ comedy launches last fall, the impressive overnight number proves pairing the “Scorpion” opener with the “Big Bang” kickoff was a wise move.<\/p>\n

The season finale of “Under the Dome” delivered a 5.0 overnight rating in the 10PM hour.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/b> The ratings posted early Tuesday morning are household numbers derived from metered market data. A follow-up report containing Fast National data for the adults 18-49 demographic and total viewership will be issued by noon ET.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27960,"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":[1048,437],"tags":[275,2955,150],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nRatings: "Scorpion" Starts Well Out of Hot "Big Bang Theory" (Updated)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update 2: CBS' "The Big Bang Theory" kicked off its temporary Monday run with a 5.4 adults 18-49 rating in both the 8PM and 8:30PM half hours.
