Reports this week indicate that Monday night’s episode of The Big Bang Theory was down a whopping 23% in the 18-49 ratings compared to the Season 9 premiere.
Plus, some of it might simply have to do with certain factions of the audience tiring of the series as it ages, or with the fact that The Big Bang Theory will air on Monday nights for the foreseeable future, at least until football finishes airing on the Eye Network.
While the Monday night switcheroo has happened for the past few seasons, it is still surprising some viewers.
Some of this may have to do with the fact that the Season 10 opener didn’t have quite the it factor that Season 9 did when it picked up on a couple of huge cliffhangers involving Sheldon and Amy’s breakup and Leonard and Penny fighting on what was supposed to be the best night of their lives.
