Ratings: Broadcast Finals for August 23, 2012

Lead by the BIG shows (BROTHER and BANG THEORY), CBS took the night in both viewers and demo ratings. CBS actually dominated the night. They won every hour in both categories despite having encores in two of the three hours.

Just one month until the new season starts and I, for one, am ready for it!
