<title>'Big Bang' at 9:00 on May 3</title>
<description>
&lt;p&gt;CBS is to air a new episode of &lt;em&gt;The Big Bang Theory&lt;/em&gt; at 9:00/8c on Monday, May 3rd, followed by a rerun of the show in its regular slot. &lt;em&gt;Big Bang&lt;/em&gt; is displacing &lt;em&gt;Two and a Half Men&lt;/em&gt; from its regular 9/8c slot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Charlie Sheen's personal troubles led to &lt;em&gt;Men&lt;/em&gt; being two episodes short this year. &lt;em&gt;Two and a Half Men&lt;/em&gt; remains America's most popular sitcom, although &lt;em&gt;Big Bang&lt;/em&gt; has been giving it a run for its money with adults 18-49.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The original episode of &lt;em&gt;The Big Bang Theory&lt;/em&gt; airing May 3rd is &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://the-big-bang-theory.com/episodeguide/episode/320/The-Spaghetti-Catalyst/&quot;&gt;&lt;a href='/episodeguide/episode/320/The-Spaghetti-Catalyst/'&gt;The Spaghetti Catalyst&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
