819 'The Skywalker Incursion' Ratings

In a week in which TV viewership declined across the board, The Big Bang Theory fell to its lowest ratings in nearly three years on Thursday night.

This week's episode, "The Skywalker Incursion", was watched by 13.89 million people, the show's smallest audience since its Season 5 finale in May 2012. The show lost 2.24m viewers since its last original episode, "The Leftover Thermalization", on March 12. In the adults 18-49 demographic, The Big Bang Theory posted its lowest rating since the end of Season 4 in May 2011 with a 3.4 rating, down a whole ratings point from the previous episode.

Even with the sharp decline from the previous episode, The Big Bang Theory still dominated its time period in viewers and adults 18-49, and ranked as the night's most-watched and highest-rated show.
