Empire carpets the Big Bang Theory as US broadcast TV's no.1 series

Before the Empire came on TV, the Big Bang Theory on CBS was the top rated series on broadcast television in the US. Well, not anymore. That title now belongs to Empire on Fox.

According to the final data released this week, Empire, starring Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard, surpassed The Big Bang Theory as broadcast television's no.1 series this season in the coveted 18 - 49 advertising demo.

Amazing stuff! Mostly black actors and produced by a black man, Lee Daniels. Kudos to them!
