NEW YORK (AP) — It's looking like CBS has a companion hit to go with "Two and a Half Men" on Mondays.

The audience for reruns of the sitcom "The Big Bang Theory" is up 52 percent over last summer, according to Nielsen Media Research.

CBS's "60 Minutes" brought 12 million viewers in to watch Michael Vick's apology. It was No. 2, behind NBC's "America's Got Talent."

CBS averaged 6.3 million viewers for the week; NBC had 5.3 million; ABC 4.3 million; Fox 4.1 million; My Network TV 1.5 million; and The CW 980,000.
