Episode 01-02: Monday, 9/26/11
As expected, episode two dropped quite a bit. It scored a 4.6 in the demo and 11.75 million viewers, a decline of 35% in the 18-49 category. However, this sitcom is still doing very well and built on its How I Met Your Mother lead in.
Season average: 5.8 in the demo and 15.56 million viewers.
Episode 01-01: Monday, 9/19/11
The premiere aired at 9:30pm, following the much-anticipated premiere of Two and a Half Men with Aston Kutcher. In that plum position, 2 Broke Girls had a huge debut with a 7.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 19.37 million viewers. That represents an 82% demo improvement over the debut of Mike & Molly one year earlier.
Between the first and second 15 minutes of the program, 2 Broke Girls only lost 11% in the demo ratings. That seems reasonable considering the event nature of the lead-in. The numbers will naturally come down quite a bit for the second episode but the premiere received a very strong sampling. It was a really positive start.
Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.

This is THE BEST SHOW EVER! It needs to be renewed! they must have more seasons, and they need Candrew back. They need to run a marathon! No more Andy Dick!!
[…] point: The first season averaged a 4.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 11.29 million […]
ridiculous show why do producers insist on canned laughter and empty headed, big boobed females?
The acting is kind of dull, but the show is kind of funny
love this show
done well!
Two broke girls has became my favorite comedy. I used to like two and a half men until the whole charlie fiasco. I watch two broke girls every week its on and i look forward to it. I think its the best comedy on and could even be a whole hour show.
tasha » The season premiere was last fall, as you can see by the dates on this page. The season is almost over. CBS hasn’t announced their fall schedule yet but the show has been renewed and will likely return in September.
Love the show!
Love the show. And especially Max’s character! She makes me laugh so much! She’s hilarious. I wish I had a roommate like her!
I just have to compliment the 2 Broke Girls fans. The show hardly lost any viewers when The Voice and Dancing with the Stars came up against it. I think it makes a point that most of the viewers of the show are too smart to watch reality competitions.
two broke girls is a very funny show that shows little glimpes of how real and flawed and tolerant these girls can be let it ride please
This is the best sitcom on television..I hope it stays on for many years..The girls are great. I love the humor of this show. It’s the only show I really look forward to watching every week….
This show is funny! And it has held its own and been consistent with a average of 11 million viewers. I say it is a keeper!!
It shouldn’t get cancelled with numbers like that and yes it is a very funny show
