It's not my opinion, but rather years of TV ratings trends say that a 9:30 show moved to 8 will simply not fair as well (initially, at least), partly because it's too early in the night. Big Bang hit a 6.0 rating for an episode at 9:30 last year, virtually impossible to do that at 8. The move is smart for CBS because they'll hold on to their Monday stronghold even if Mike & Molly is only modest, now they have a big Wednesday stake with Survivor and Criminal Minds, and Big Bang + Shatner on Thursdays speaks for itself.
