On Thursday night, The Big Bang Theory had a good week with a big episode. It was up 1.5 million viewers and three tenths in the demo. The viewer total is a high for Thursday while the demo is the best in over a month. At 8:30pm, The Great Indoors was up eight tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for its best performance since November 10. CBS clearly has faith in this show because they're not bumping it for midseason comedy Superior Donuts except for one sneak peek. At 9pm, Mom was up seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Life in Pieces was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 10pm, Pure Genius was down a tenth in viewers and the demo. It was very low across the board for ABC with a mix of specials and limited runs. The Great American Baking Show saw a series low in the demo at 9pm. A weak Thursday night game between the Seahawks and Rams sent Thursday Night Football plummeting to its worst performance in about a month.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Big Bang Theory (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: The Great American Baking Show (ABC)
