Is ‘The Big Bang Theory’ season 8, episode 15 new tonight on CBS?

Tonight, we have an opportunity to see a variety of new programming across all of the major broadcast networks. “The Big Bang Theory” just will not happen to be a part of it.

So why are we not getting a chance to watch “The Comic Book Store Regeneration” tonight? Think of it as a symptom of the show airing two episodes for its premiere week, and it getting so many installments out there early in the season due to its move to Monday nights. Thanks to all of this, there are only so many episodes left this season, and given that CBS clearly wants to ensure that there are plenty for the May sweeps and some free weeks in between, there is no new episode tonight. This just happens fairly often during the season, unless you are one of those series that opts to just divide your show into clear halves.

While the network probably loves those live ratings for this series very much, we cannot imagine that they are sweating too much over this. Just think about it for a minute or two: The repeats perform very well still, and “Mom” has shown that it really is not that dependent on it when it comes to generating its own numbers. The lineup tonight is going to be just fine.

“The Comic Book Store Regeneration” will air next week, and in between the Nathan Fillion guest appearance and also the storyline that could potential be about Howard’s mother, there is ultimately quite a bit to enjoy about this episode. This will be a big night for CBS in general, given that they also have the series finale of “Two and a Half Men.”
