   CBS opted to bump a Young Sheldon rerun from its 8 p.m.   
   primetime slot in favor of the Jan 6th committee hearing on   
   Thursday evening. The decision backfired.   
      
   Just 3.24 million people watched the network's "Capitol Assault   
   Hearings" coverage Thursday night, according to the TV Ratings   
   Guide. Exactly one week prior, 3.86 million people tuned into   
   CBS to watch a Young Sheldon rerun, meaning an old episode of   
   the coming-of-age sitcom garnered roughly 600,000 more viewers   
   than the inaugural hearing.   
      
   That gap is even more pronounced for new Young Sheldon episodes.   
   More than seven million people, for example, watched the show's   
   season five finale, titled "A Clogged Pore, a Little Spanish,   
   and the Future," during CBS's 8 p.m. slot on Thursday, May 19.   
   Three weeks earlier, 6.9 million people watched a new episode   
   titled, "Uncle Sheldon and a Hormonal Firecracker."   
      
   The revelation suggests that Democrats will struggle to use the   
   hearings to attract voters ahead of the November midterm   
   elections, particularly as Americans experience record-high   
   inflation and gas prices. Just hours after the hearing's   
   conclusion, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that   
   inflation rose 8.6 percent in May, the fastest rate in more than   
   four decades.   
      
   Republicans pointed to that announcement Friday morning to argue   
   that Democrats are not prioritizing issues that are important to   
   voters. Google trend data show midterm voters have "very low   
   interest" in the January 6 riots compared to issues including   
   jobs, taxes, and inflation, according to Axios.   
      
   "While President Biden and Nancy Pelosi are detached from   
   reality and focused on their political smokescreen January 6   
   hearings, Kansas families are struggling just to make ends meet   
   each day as they deal with a level of inflation many of them   
   have never seen in their lifetimes," Sen. Roger Marshall (R.,   
   Kan.) said in a statement. "I call on Speaker Pelosi and House   
   Democrats to hold a prime-time hearing on the out-of-control   
   inflation their policies have created," House Minority Leader   
   Kevin McCarthy added in a Friday morning tweet.   
      
   Thursday night's hearing is not the last for the Jan. 6th   
   committee, which will meet three more times next week alone.   
   Those hearings, however, will almost certainly get fewer   
   viewers—none are scheduled to air during primetime.
