-Ratings Breakdown:
It was a clean Thursday overnight sweep for CBS with its line-up of blockbuster “The Big Bang Theory” (12.3 rating/19 share), which topped the night as always, “The Millers” (8.0/12), “The Crazy Ones” (6.0/ 9), “Two and a Half Men” (6.5/10) and sophomore “Elementary” (6.6/11). Dominance is certainly a positive thing, of course. But the Eye net expanding to a two-hour Thursday sitcom block has resulted in noticeable erosion with the combination of “The Crazy Ones” and “Two and a Half Men,” in particular, down by 36 percent from year-ago occupant “Person of Interest” (9.7/15 on 1/10/13).

Jim Persons was at the Winter Tour yesterday on a session for his upcoming original HBO movie, “The Normal Heart.”

In the distant No. 2 spot was ABC as a result of cooking competition “The Taste,” which scored a modest 3.3/ 5 in the overnights from 8-10 p.m., followed by week two of new drama “The Assets” at a last-place 2.2/ 4 at 10 p.m. Week to week, “The Assets” slipped by 15 percent from its already DOA opening 2.6/ 4 on Jan. 2. And that translated into a mere 3.77 million viewers and a 0.7 rating/2 share among adults 18-49 (based on the live plus same day data). The 49 percent erosion for ABC was a result of dramas “Last Resort,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Scandal” airing on the year-ago evening.

Next was NBC with its low-rated combination of sitcoms “Community” (#3: 2.2/ 4), “Parks and Recreation” (#3: 2.2/ 3), “Sean Saves the World” (#3: 2.3/ 3) and “The Michael J. Fox Show” (#3: 2.1/ 3) from 8-10 p.m., followed by “Parenthood” at a second-place 2.9/ 5 in the 10 p.m. hour. Despite the obvious lack of interest, NBC was up by nine percent week to week. Regardless, the network will need to revamp the entire evening next season.

Elsewhere, Fox populated this second Thursday in January with back-to-back repeats of freshman drama “Sleepy Hollow,” which scored an average 1.6/ 3 from 8-10 p.m. And The CW aired encores of “The Vampire Diaries” and “Reign,” which each averaged a 0.7/ 1.
