Even the most-viewed episode of "The Big Bang Theory's" final season didn't manage to pull the viewership of the Vegas debate, with 'The Donation Oscillation" hitting a 18,853 Nielsen score.
Most of NBC's Sunday Night Football broadcasts outperformed the Las Vegas debate, but the September matchup between the St. Louis Rams and the Cleveland Browns fell just short at an 18,790 Nielsen score.
