We reached the end of an era in TV with the final episode of The Big Bang Theory air on Nine last night — 1.093 million nationally, for an hour. Young Sheldon, the prequel, followed at 8.30pm for an hour as well — 663,000 nationally.

The second episode of this series of Shaun Micallef’s Mad As Hell attracted 823,000 viewers to the ABC. That was after Anh’s Brush with Fame at 8pm, also on the ABC, with 918,000. Five Bedrooms on Ten at 8.40pm hit 686,000 and is starting to sick with viewers. It topped Young Sheldon, as did Mad As Hell. Isn’t it great that two local programs topped the US import?

In sport, Seven’s Wimbledon on 7TWO hit 280,000, and England v South Africa in the cricket World Cup on Nine’s Gem recorded 242,000 and 121,000 on Foxtel.
