TBS Hits 2.6 Million Total Viewers With New Series 'Men at Work'

1.6 million watchers in the 18-49 demo on new series set up by 'The Big Bang Theory'

TBS scored big with Men at Work on Thursday evening. After plenty of promotion during NBA games and a solid lead-in from network all-star The Big Bang Theory, the freshman comedy series debuted to a hearty 2.6 million total viewers, with 1.6 million in the 18-49 year-old demographic beloved of advertisers. The show demonstrated impressive retention from episode to episode, as well—the second back-to-back ep logged 2.3 million viewers, with 1.4 million in the demo.

Men at Work, if it sustains ratings like these, will help TBS move in the direction Turner has taken TNT—namely away from off-net series like Big Bang and toward a full slate of original programs.
