CBS much talked about move of 'Big Bang Theory' to Thursdays appears to have paid off. The show premiered last night to monster ratings. The sitcom easily won its timeslot at 8 p.m. and averaged a stunning 13.95 million viewers opposite heavy competition from the other broadcast networks. That's even slightly higher than their premiere last year in its old Monday night timeslot.
Much was talked about this move when CBS announced it. After all, 'Big Bang Theory' was doing very well on Mondays and the show it was replacing, 'Survivor', had been dominating its timeslot for year on Thursday nights. However, 'Survivor' has handily won it's timeslot each of the first 2 weeks in its new home on Wednesdays at 8.
'The Mentalist' on CBS was the nights highest rated show, drawing 15.3 million viewers. Over on NBC, 'The Apprentice' continued to struggle, pulling in only 3.8 million viewers.
