Final Broadcast Ratings: November 5, 2015

With CBS done with THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL for the season, it debuted its new Thursday night line up, with exception of 2 BROKE GIRLS. The combo of THE BIG BANG THEORY and LIFE IN PIECES won the 8 p.m. hour. LIFE IN PIECES did bad in retention, losing 47% of its lead in. ELEMENTARY was down, year-to-year, and continues to show no signs of ever getting a large audience to watch the series..

ABC was the top network on the night, winning all three demographic categories and just behind CBS in total viewers.. All three dramas were at or near their previous ratings for their last aired original episodes. SCANDAL and HWGAWM each won their respective time slots.

FOX and NBC battled it out for the #3 spot of the night. Each tied in the A18-49 demo, but FOX was #3 in the A18-34 demo, while NBC took third in the A25-54 demographic. THE PLAYER was, once again, the worst rated program of the night, from the big four networks.
