The major demo listed is not from TV alone, those are way too high for TV. Maybe it's TV and DVR viewers combined.
The major demo is the only thing CBS cares about because, the major demo is the one advertisers pay attention to and will buy commercials on the network. Meaning = tons of money.
Over all viewers number is basically meaningless. If TBBT only had 10 million views but still was getting a 5.0 in the demo, it would still be considered a huge hit.
Season 6 average in the major demo after 16 episode was 5.36
Season 7 average in the major demo after 16 episode is 5.25
The major demo dropped some this season but lets be real, it's still a smash.
