"The Big Bang Theory" just keeps getting bigger: CBS’s comedy smash soared to its highest-rated broadcast ever last night, making a post-Super Bowl appearance increasingly logical.
Against atypical competition– a Carrie Underwood holiday special on Fox, a repeat "Law & Order: SVU" on NBC– Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady’s geek-centric half-hour rocketed to a 5.7 rating/13 share at 9:30 Monday. That’s the best demo rating ever for the show, and better than the 5.1 scored by lead-in "Two and a Half Men," according to fast national Nielsen data.
"Bang" was easily the highest-rated show of the night in the young adult demo and could easily end up the No.
