The last episode of “The Big Bang Theory” before the show’s grand finale narrowly beat out “This Is Us” to top the Live+7 ratings chart for the week of March 4.
The CBS megahit, which will come to an end after 12 seasons with a double bill airing on April 4, achieved a 3.6 rating in the key 18-49 demo, with NBC’s “This Is Us” coming in just behind at a 3.5. The former saw a 71% ratings bump from a 2.1, and and the latter more than doubled its rating in delayed viewing from a 1.7.
“Bing Bang Theory” was also the most-watched show of the week, with a total viewership of over 17.5 million.
Elsewhere, 12 shows grew by 100% or more in the ratings, including ABC’s “The Good Doctor,” which jumped from a 1.1 to a 2.4, and NBC’s “The Blacklist,” which increased from a 0.5 rating to a 1.2.
