Feb 24, 2012

The ratings keep getting bigger for "The Big Bang Theory" — and they keep getting smaller for "American Idol".
The hit sitcom bested "Idol" outright for the first time in both viewership and the adults 18-to-49 demo Thursday, drawing 16.1 million and a 5.2, improving a tenth from last week.
"Idol" averaged 15.4 million and a 4.4 (down 14 percent in the demo) for the hour. During the shows' 30-minute face-off, Idol snagged 14 million and a 4.0.
