CBS Picks Up 'Big Bang' and 'The Unit'
October 18, 2007 4:54 PM
CBS has ordered full-season pickups for freshman comedy “The Big Bang Theory” and returning drama “The Unit,” the network confirmed.
Since its debut, "Big Bang" has maintained and built slightly on its "How I Met Your Mother" lead-in to become a solidly performing member of the CBS Monday comedy block. The most recent episode garnered a 3.1 rating, placing second in the half hour behind ABC's "Dancing With the Stars." Its pickup makes "Big Bang" the first comedy of the fall season to receive a full order.
"The Unit" only received a partial season order earlier this year. On Tuesday the show bounced 17 percent to a 3.5 rating—its best since February.

I've been watching and I think the show has potential - happy to see "Big Bang" got picked up. As for "The Unit" - I could care less.

Lynnation, If you could care less, then you at least care a little. Thanks for supporting The Unit, one of my favorite shows....

I am glad to see that both "Big Bang" and "The Unit" have been picked up. My husband and I watch them both. Acutally on Mondays and Tuesdays our tv stays on CBS all night with all the shows. On Monday "How I met your Mother", "Big Bang", and "2 and 1/2 Men" and on Tuesday "NCIS" and "The Unit" Keep up the GREAT work.

WHY, OH WHY did they replace the theme marching cadence with that sappy song? Are they going to have some re-runs so I can hear the original theme song again? Otherwise, "The Unit" continues to be such a great show.
