Being TV's top rated show paid off as CBS renewed
The Big Bang Theory for three (!) more seasons. It is now sure to be on the air through the 2016-17 season, which will be its tenth season.
The Big Bang Theory is far and away the top show on broadcast TV with numbers that hover around 20 million viewers and a 5 demo. When DVR ratings are factored in, it often goes up past a 7 demo. In today's diluted viewing age, these are mammoth numbers. I don't think CBS will regret a multi-season pickup for this show the way FOX probably is with
Glee.
Big Bang isn't showing signs of deteriorating.
With CBS airing Thursday Night Football for eight weeks, CBS has implied that
Big Bang will start on Monday next year before moving back to Thursday.
The Big Bang Theory joins
Survivor as the only official renewals for CBS. There is a report that they will renew
Two and a Half Men for a 13 episode final season as well as
Mike & Molly and
Mom. All four shows are from the Chuck Lorre empire so it may be some type of package deal. Sure to join the renewal list for CBS is
2 Broke Girls, 48 Hours, 60 Minutes, The Amazing Race, Blue Bloods, CSI, Criminal Minds, Elementary, Hawaii Five-0, NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles, and
Person of Interest. Bubble shows are
The Good Wife, The Mentalist, The Millers, and
Undercover Boss while it doesn't look good for
The Crazy Ones or
Intelligence.
