CBS scored another win on Thursday night, pulling far ahead of the rest of the broadcast networks in adults 18-49 (3.4 rating) and total viewers (13.3 million). The Cincinnati affiliate did carry last night's NFL game, so final numbers are subject to change. The Big Bang Theory (5.4 adults) was up four percent to pull the strongest numbers of any broadcast during the night. Two and a Half Men (4.2 adults) was also up by five percent. Person of Interest (3.0 adults) was up just a tenth of a point before Elementary (2.3 adults) posted gains of 10 percent.
