Well it held up really well against the NFL Draft last week but The Big Bang Theory took a major tumble this week for CBS. It was down nine tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo for its worst performance since season one in 2008. Despite the big lead-in drop, The Odd Couple was down just a tenth in viewers and the demo for another positive performance as it remains on the bubble. At 9pm, Mom was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo to tie a series low. 2 Broke Girls was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo as it was the only CBS show to stay even or rise. At 10pm, Rush Hour was up three tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo.

On ABC, Grey's Anatomy continued to defy the impossible by staying in the 2s for its demo yet again. It was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. For the rest of the night, Scandal and The Catch were both down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, tying series lows. On NBC, Strong was down a tenth in viewers and the demo to a new series low at a very weak 0.6 demo. At 9pm, The Blacklist was even with last week. It does not get enough credit for what it can do on a complete island. At 10pm, Game of Silence was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. On FOX, Bones was down a tenth in viewers and up a tenth in the demo while American Grit matched Strong's ugly 0.6 demo and was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Grey's Anatomy (ABC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Strong (NBC)
