Thanks for digging those stats out! It's one of those strange things that even with a heavily serialised show, people will miss episodes. I suspect - but would need to find proof - that a very lightly serialised show like BBT makes it a lot easier to dip and out as you want. See also just about every show CBS broadcasts. Loyalty *may* be lower, but overall reach is probably higher.
