CBS enjoyed a solid Thursday night in the ratings game, as Two and a Half Men went out on top and The Odd Couple opened in strong fashion.
First, Ashton Kutcher and Jon Cryer said goodbye to 13.2 million viewers and a 3.1 rating among 18-49-year old, its best numbers in nearly two years.
Following The Big Bang Theory (17.2 million/4.4 rating), The Odd Couple premiered to 13.6 million people a 3.1 demographic rating, while Elementary (8.1 million/1.5) also ticked up for CBS.
Elsewhere around the dial...
- ON NBC, The Slap (3.9 million/0.8) decreased by 23 and 27 percent from its premiere, while The Blacklist Season 2 Episode 12 (7.5 million/1.7) fell to its smallest audience ever, while Allegiance (3.4 million/0.9) rose two tenths... and will likely be canceled soon.
- ON ABC, Grey’s Anatomy (8.1 million/2.5), Scandal Season 4 Episode 13 (9.5 million/3.2) and How to Get Away With Murder (8.8 million/2.8) all ticked up in both overall viewers and in the key demographic.
