Once again, there’s no chance of The Big Bang Theory being cancelled any time soon. The very popular sitcom’s already been renewed through season 10. The ratings dropped last season. Will they continue to fall this year or will they rebound? Stay tuned.
The Big Bang Theory revolves around a group of geeky scientists, their friends and significant others. The castmembers are Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Melissa Rauch, and Mayim Bialik.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/13 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.

For comparisons: The eighth season of The Big Bang Theory averaged a 4.32 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 16.14 million total viewers.
Note: Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you still like The Big Bang Theory TV series? Do you think it should end with season 10?

No!!! My favorite show on TV, please don’t cancel!!!
I love the first 3-4th season. then they added bernadette, whom was and is never funny. And then a writer ( probably bernadette’s real-life husband) suggested to let howard marry bernadette, to make sure that she never get fired from the show for not being funny, and everything just went downhill from there. Howard was used to be the funniest character next to sheldon. now, it’s just painful to watch his every scene with bernadette, so painful that i just eventually stop watching the entire show
For me it decline with Amy and Burnadette’s introduction. I stopped watching a couple of season ago.
I hardly ever watch any sitcom shows nowadays. I cannot say anything about them, but I am very happy not watching any sitcom shows.
TBBT has gone sooo downhill. The chemistry that made this show great has vanished and now it is about the guys with their wives/girlfriends and it’s not as funny as it used to be. The show has run it’s course.
Please cancel this show already.Yes it was good 1-6 ever since then though a steady decline. They keep doing the same thing over and over. Sorry I know people love it but it has played itself out. Same jokes and the whole married thing now just done.
Definitely stay
I love the show so much . I look at all the re runs on my dvr . Dont cancel the show
I love BBT. Sure, last season wasn’t the best, but this season it re-bounded. Not every episode makes me laugh, but most do. The only problem is that the scenes seem unfulfilled, as if each scene ends on a dry joke, instead of with a BANG!
So far season 9 in my opinion is an improvement over the bleak and boring 8th season. But it’s still not as funny as it used to be. Better, but not like the first handful of seasons. I think it’s important to show these characters attempt to retain their personalities as they mature, but don’t rob the show of what made it so appealing in the first place: THE NERDINESS. I would like to see however, the male characters get more of a backbone and stop being wimps around their women.
I can see TBBT going maybe 2 more seasons, but either Penny or Bernadette are going to have a baby. Raj is going to have to settle in with whomever. But I can see this season ending with Sheldon finally asking Amy to marry him – with her answer coming NEXT season. Or Amy gets engaged this season. Gotta shake it up somewhere!
TBBT is losing my love 🙁 I dont think i will stand another 2 seasons…
I like the BBT, but these days it is not funny at all. The reason it was funny before was due to new characters being introduced (Penny, Amy to name two). The show needs to add characters to impact against Sheldon for the most part. Otherwise this is becoming stale. New characters are needed to save this one time funny show.
Yes, I still love BBT. Watch it every week, and reruns everyday. I would like to se it go longer than 10 seasons really, so many more places they can go.
It’s not really surprising that ratings are dropping. Even if it’s a great show, it can’t stay fresh and funny forever. I think the only reason it’s lasted this long is because the cast is so likable, that it’s still a pleasure to watch even if you aren’t laughing the whole time.
