Worrying Wednesday for Big Bang Theory

Nine’s The Big Bang Theory, which was looking like a viable replacement for Two And A Half Men, is showing worrying signs of decline, slipping further beneath the psychologically important million-mark last night.

According to preliminary overnight metro ratings from OzTam, the US sitcom dropped to 0.883m viewers, down from 1m+ just a fortnight ago, and out of the top ten most-watched shows.

Not for the first time, not a single Nine or Ten show recorded more than 1m viewers. Ten’s The Biggest Loser was closest, with 0.978m, and squeezed into the top five.

Seven’s Today Tonight and Nine’s A Current Affair, which were embroiled in a plagiarism scrap this week, both saw ratings slide slightly compared to last week.
