It was the second week in a row atop the ratings for the sitcom, whose 12-season run ends May 16

BԪַThe Big Bang TheoryBԪַ edged out BԪַGame of ThronesBԪַ as the two beloved TV behemoths again topped the ratings as they approach their finales.

CBSBԪַ BԪַThe Big Bang TheoryBԪַ drew 12.6 million live viewers last week, while HBOBԪַs BԪַGame of ThronesBԪַ had 12.5 million.

It was the second week in a row atop the ratings for the sitcom, whose 12-season run ends May 16.
