CBS and NFL Network's broadcast of THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL on September 25, which featured the N.Y.

Last night's programming on CBS and NFL Network from 8:00-11:00 PM, ET averaged a primetime overnight HH rating/share of 10.7/18, +16% higher than last year's overnight HH rating/share of 9.2/15 for Premiere Week CBS primetime on Thursday, Sept. 26 (BIG BANG THEORY - 8:00 PM, BIG BANG THEORY - 8:31 PM, THE CRAZY ONES - 9:01 PM, TWO AND A HALF MEN - 9:31 PM, ELEMENTARY- 10:01 PM).
