Yeah, the dropoff in linear TV viewing is staggering. CBS does the best because their broadcast lineup skews old, not because it's particularly good. It also makes you understand why the suits sell their souls for live sports (especially gridiron football).

It's not a super new phenomenon either. The BBT was CBS's huge comedy hit of the 2010s, but it never had raw numbers that matched "The Single Guy," a two-season nothingburger that got canceled for not adequately holding onto its Friends lead-in audience.
