Update: <\/strong>Per Nielsen’s final broadcast data, the second episode of CBS’ “Scorpion” delivered an impressive 3.1 adults 18-49 rating with 13.36 million viewers.<\/em><\/p>\n

That the number trails the premiere number by a mere 0.1 would be impressive in any scenario.\u00a0 That it demonstrated such strong week-over-week retention despite receiving a significantly weaker lead-in is downright spectacular.<\/em><\/p>\n

After receiving lead-in support from an original “The Big Bang Theory” last week (5.4 rating), “Scorpion” aired out of a re-run this week.<\/em><\/p>\n

That re-run, which aired from 8:30-9PM, delivered a 3.1 adults 18-49 rating with 12.26 million viewers.\u00a0 An original installment posted a 4.8 with 16.38 million viewers in the 8PM half hour.<\/em><\/p>\n

CBS closed its Monday with “NCIS: Los Angeles.”\u00a0 It drew a 1.9 rating with 9.48 million at 10PM.<\/em><\/p>\n

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

Update:<\/strong> The overnight household ratings did not lie or mislead:\u00a0 CBS’ “Scorpion” indeed held up well in week two.<\/em><\/p>\n

Despite airing out of a “Big Bang Theory” re-run rather than an original, “Scorpion” delivered a strong 3.0 adults 18-49 rating in the 9PM hour.\u00a0 Its mark trailed that of last week’s premiere by just 6%.<\/em><\/p>\n

The episode’s viewership tally of 13.23 million was also impressive.<\/em><\/p>\n

Earlier in the night, CBS aired a new “The Big Bang Theory” (4.7, 16.18 million) and a re-run of “Big Bang” (3.1, 12.32 million).\u00a0 It followed “Scorpion” with the 10PM season premiere of “NCIS: Los Angeles” (1.9, 9.44 million).<\/em><\/p>\n

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

Despite receiving reduced lead-in support, CBS’ “Scorpion” held up very well in its second week of broadcast.<\/p>\n

Leading out of a “Big Bang Theory” re-run rather than an original, the new CBS drama drew an 8.7 overnight household rating. That trails the premiere number by a mere two percent.<\/p>\n

While there is no guarantee the show did not endure a larger drop in adults 18-49 and total viewership, the strong overnight mark provides no reason to believe the show took a significant hit in those columns.<\/p>\n

CBS opened its Monday with a new “The Big Bang Theory” at 8PM (10.8 overnight household rating) and a re-run at 8:30PM (7.8). It filled the 10PM hour with the season premiere of “NCIS: Los Angeles.”<\/p>\n

Airing in its new timeslot, “NCIS: LA” drew a 6.0 overnight household rating.<\/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":[1048,437],"tags":[275,2985,2955,150],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nRatings: CBS' "Scorpion" Wows in Week Two (Updated)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update: Per Nielsen's final broadcast data, the second episode of CBS' "Scorpion" delivered an impressive 3.1 adults 18-49 rating with 13.36 million\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/09\/30\/ratings-cbs-scorpion-holds-week-two\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Ratings: CBS' "Scorpion" Wows in Week Two (Updated)\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Update: Per Nielsen's final broadcast data, the second episode of CBS' "Scorpion" delivered an impressive 3.1 adults 18-49 rating with 13.36 million\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/09\/30\/ratings-cbs-scorpion-holds-week-two\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-09-30T13:59:41+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2014-09-30T21:09:46+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/CBSScorpion.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1025\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"512\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/09\/30\/ratings-cbs-scorpion-holds-week-two\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/09\/30\/ratings-cbs-scorpion-holds-week-two\/\",\"name\":\"Ratings: CBS' \\\"Scorpion\\\" Wows in Week Two (Updated)\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2014-09-30T13:59:41+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2014-09-30T21:09:46+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"Update: Per Nielsen's final broadcast data, the second episode of CBS' \\\"Scorpion\\\" delivered an impressive 3.1 adults 18-49 rating with 13.36 million\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/09\/30\/ratings-cbs-scorpion-holds-week-two\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News & Charts, TV News & Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
