NETWORK UPDATE:  As expected, football adjustment took some of the wind out of CBS’s morning sails, but not for THE BIG BANG THEORY, which held its full 4.1 rating.  As for the rest:  LIFE IN PIECES lost 0.3, MOM and ELEMENTARY fell 0.2, and 2 BROKE GIRLS was down 0.1.  There were no other changes, but we mistakenly had the IHEARTRADIO JINGLE BALL as running 2 hours last night, when it was only 90 minutes.  It had the 0.4 rating we reported, and was followed by an episode of WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY at 0.3.
