Primetime Ratings, Thursday, 1/3/13

Much like NBC last night, CBS won in all categories due to having no real competition. Then again, CBS usually dominates Thursday anyway.

The Big Bang Theory soared in the demos, matching its previous series high of 6.0. Lead-out Two and a Half Men hit a season high as well. Person Of Interest also matched its series high. Elementary went up too, although not by the margins the previous three shows did.

FOX aired two more new episodes of Mobbed, and both bombed just as badly as last night. FOX really should have waited and programmed this show after American Idol again. Well, at least no re-runs beat it this time, unlike on Wednesday night.
