"The Big Bang Theory" dropped from a 5.7 overnight rating with adults 18-49 to a 5.6 in the finals likely largely due to viewing on the Baltimore CBS affiliate of "Monday Night Football" being stripped out. It was still a series high with adults 18-49 for TBBT.
The news wasn't as cheery for "Castle" which dropped two ticks, from a 2.3 to a 2.1, also likely due to Monday Night Football airing on the Green Bay and Milwaukee ABC affiliates.
