'Big Bang Theory' tops 'Thrones' as both shows face series finales
LOS ANGELES —
"The Big Bang Theory" edged out "Game of Thrones" as the two beloved TV behemoths again topped the ratings as they approach their finales.
CBS' "The Big Bang Theory" drew 12.6 million live viewers last week, while HBO's "Game of Thrones" had 12.5 million, the Nielsen company said.

It was the second week in a row atop the ratings for "The Big Bang Theory," whose 12-season run of nerdy comedy ends with a May 16 finale episode that by that time will have no competition from "Thrones" and should win the week running away.
