What were you watching last night? Originals on FOX or CBS, reruns, or something else?
Clearly it was a great idea to air a new episode of The Big Bang Theory before the other major shows returned. It ensured great numbers for the show, numbers that I think were well deserved. The Big Bang Theory is hilarious, and I (along with 19 million other people) watch it every week.
Person of Interest and Elementary. Glad they are both doing well.
