The Big Bang Theory’ Threatens to Dethrone Sunday Night Football as TV’s Most Watched Show
Breitbart ^ | December 31, 2016

In every office, every corporate executive suite, and every law firm across this great land, the men who had got pantsed and received numerous swirlies at the hands of jocks in high school finally have their chance at redemption against their brawny tormentors.

According to a press release from CBS, “The Big Bang Theory,” the brainy sitcom which references pyramids and autotrophs in its theme song, beat out NBC’s Sunday Night Football as the top-rated, live, primetime same day show. For the past five years Sunday Night Football had owned that coveted, top spot.

sorry, but while watching various CBS shows on FIOS on demand I keep seeing Kevin’s Burger Math as the only ad for the show.

They did a terrible job building the prime time schedule this year. Most of the SNF and MNF games had none of the big national teams (Steelers, Cowboys, Pats, and Packers, add in the recent SB teams for seasoning). Multiple times during the year they had teams with major followings playing each other in the afternoon. I know they get success with other teams, but the prime time games are supposed to feature the prime time teams. And really, kill Thursday night, those games are terrible, and the Nike Fugly Uniform thing just made them worse. Once you start teaching the fans to skip games they start skipping games.

Howard: I'm guessing that future historians will condemn us for not taking this opportunity to kill Sheldon.

After Sheldon was not killed in the first 3 seasons, I quit watching.

It’s because the NFL ratings have sunk, not that the stupid show has gone.

(I’ve never watched the show, but I’m going out on a very thick limb and guess that it’s stupid since that’s what most prime time network TV is.)

exactly. I couldn’t stand it. It’s nice being a minority. I had the same treatment after all these Breaking Bad fanboys getting their panties in a twist after I told them it sucked and overrated.

All characters in hetereosexual relationships

Are you forgetting about Howard and Raj's ‘ersatz homosexual relationship’ as Leonard’s mom calls it.

Funny the "Die Sheldon Die" was left by Sheldon's first roommate that was shown for all of 10 seconds in one episode

The actor that played Sheldon's first roommate, plays Glen on The Walking Dead

Not if you're his mother. My Sheldon is 15.

My brother watches TBBT. Sunday nights I usually watch murder mysteries, like Sherlock, on PBS.

I watched TBBT for 3-4 years and then I got tired of it a couple years ago and just stopped.
