Episode 2.17 Ratings Posted March 10, 2009

The Big Bang Theory was up against ABC's Dancing with the Stars and Fox's House last night, and the ratings suggest the show was squeezed. Last night's episode came in 3rd place with a 5.6/9 rating. How I Met Your Mother followed Bang in 3rd place with a 5.4/8 rating.
Two and a Half Men moved CBS up to second place, posting an 8.1/12 rating. Rules of Engagement then fell into 3rd place, setting a 6.4/10 rating.
Daylight Savings Time will also account for some of the loss from previous episodes' ratings, as fewer people will now stay in to watch TV at 8 o'clock.
