ABC

CBS scored an easy win in adults 18-to-49 (3.4 rating) and total viewers (13.9 million) on Thursday night, starting with a slightly off The Big Bang Theory. The comedy was down two tenths of a point to a 5.3 rating, before Two and a Half Men (4.2) grew by the same measure. Person of Interest pulled a season high 3.2 adults rating, up three tenths of a point, while Elementary rose one tenth to a 2.3 in the demo. The networks' Denver affiliate carried the NFL game between the Broncos and Oakland Raiders, so final ratings are subject to change.
