Ratings: Young Sheldon Retains Nearly 100 Percent of Big Bang Lead-In

CBS’ Young Sheldon preview was Monday’s (very) big freshman on campus, delivering 16.6 million total viewers and a 3.7 demo rating — retaining nearly all of its Big Bang Theory lead-in to mark the most-watched comedy launch since 2 Broke Girls (in September 2011) and the highest rated since The Crazy Ones (September 2013).

YoungSheldon, which TVLine readers gave an average grade of “B-,” doesn’t resume its run for five-plus weeks, until Thursday, Nov. 2 at 8:30/7:30c.

Big Bang meanwhile opened Season 11 with 17 mil and a 3.9 (average grade of “B+”), improving on its year-ago premiere (15.8 mil/3.8).

Elsewhere on CBS, Kevin Can ~~Mourn~~ Wait (10.1 mil/2.3, average grade “D-“) surged versus both its freshman average and finale; Me, Myself & I debuted to 7.4 mil/1.7 (“B-” grade); and Scorpion (5.7 mil/1.0, “B” grade) was down sharply from both Season 3’s finale (7.9 mil/1.2) and average (7.2 mil/1.2).
