      Big Bang is WAAAAYYY better than American idol.
      • Orly 3 mths ago
        it's a great show for a laugh.

        I watched that and by the time I remembered the super bowl all I saw were commentators saying the Giants had won. Guess I really didn't miss anything because they showed the 2 big plays in the post-game. Eli getting lucky with a receiver's great hands and the show-boater sitting into the endzone backwards.
      • brianpci 3 mths ago
        and 30 rock is better than both of them, but nobody watches that.....

      My wife and I have enjoyed "The Big Bang Theory" since it aired many years ago.
      Another new program that most people are not watching "Rob" in our opinion is great!
      Remember, to all you "Rob" haters out there, just like every other show, "it's new" and
      "improving" and we enjoy the hell out of it. Rob Schneider is great and carries the whole
      show along with his beautiful (T.V.) wife. I have no doubt that this show will be a hit, focusing on writing and spontaneously funny humor (writers) and watch this show soar!

      archer and justified are the best 2 shows on tv
    • Roger  •  Pleasanton, California  •  3 mths ago
      still want an AUDIT on the accuracy of 2 1/2 Men.....the show is garbage and everyone I know stopped watching after AK's debut.
      • dillon 3 mths ago
        yeah..He really blows..Might help show if "Jackie Burkheart" made a guest appearance..

      "The Big Bang Theory" is the best American TV sitcom in years. It is refreshing to watch a show that makes you laugh out loud. From my experience that is something which happens both alone and with family. Speaking of the latter, a first season DVD copy of "Big Bang" served as both an emotional relief and a bonding agent during my mother's last week on earth two and a half years ago. At such times it is good to share a laugh together. From that time my immediate family all became ardent fans of the series. A treasured moment for me was watching Jim Parsons receive a 2011 Golden Globe Award from a gleeful Kaley Cuoco. I hope someone from "Big Bang" sees these comments. Assuredly there are similar stories out there among the show's many fans. BANG!!!

      How come the highest rated were on NBC and super bowl related yet NBC placed no other shows on that list? That tells you all you need to know about that network...a network that must still think Whitney is a funny hit.
    • Gene  •  Cleveland, Ohio  •  3 mths ago
      these ratings should be done in accordance with the age groups just thinking as it is it is not a true pulse of the viewers
    • Gary Y  •  Santee, California  •  3 mths ago
      The problem with this report is, it does not show which shows were first runs and which were repeats. I would expect a repeat would get less than a first run
    • RAFFAELA  •  Newark, New Jersey  •  3 mths ago
      give me the golden girls uwe
    • chris  •  Brunswick, Maine  •  3 mths ago
      all junk
      • Orly 3 mths ago
        ok i don't think super bowl is junk, but ok.
    • A Yahoo! User  •  Easton, Pennsylvania  •  3 mths ago
      the shows listed are all good. but programming is in a season of repeats. TV is un-interesting for NOW.
    • Joe  •  Willcox, Arizona  •  3 mths ago

    • LonnieX  •  Tampa, Florida  •  3 mths ago
      does anyone actually think Rob is worth watching?.. or are they just too lazy to look at the guide to choose another program?
    • Rocco  •  3 mths ago
