You know what the most popular show on streaming was in Nielsen’s most recent ratings? The Big Bang Theory. That’s right. More than seven years after it ended, fans spent more than 1.1 billion minutes consuming Big Bang Theory content in a single week. If you’re keeping score at home, that was more than 200 million more minutes than any other current or former television show.
The Big Bang Theory has put up 1 billion plus weeks before. In fact, the two ratings periods prior to this win both had more than a billion minutes viewed, but July 27th to August 2nd, which is the most recent ratings period, was the first time the show ever topped the overall streaming charts, which is especially impressive for a thirty minute sitcom.
