CBS execs mourned the end of an era last week with the final episode of The Big Bang Theory. The finale, plus the final season episode of Young Sheldon and the Big Bang special dominated the Thursday night ratings. It will be interesting to see how Young Sheldon fares next season without its parent show for company. Hawaii Five-0 was left hanging as MacGyver and Blue Bloods both wrapped the previous week, as a result, two weak specials sank the season finale two tenths off the previous week.

Thank you, LadyShelley.
I love seeing all the "Renewed" and no cancellations with the CW, all of their shows are amazing.
