Awesome for Will and Grace, a great night for NBC in general with the retrospective and ER as well.
Not so good for That 70s Show.
CSI has lost a bit of steam this year, a rerun doing that badly is surprising, and the finale is way down from last year. Gray's Anatomy could knock it out of the top 3 next year, if it hurts it.

WOW at the Will and Grace finale. Those are the highest ratings for that show in many years.
Better than usual for ER as well.

Uh oh CBS dramas are down. IS that because of the series finale overload?
Should be interesting next season.
Hooray for Will and Grace!!!

Huge for Will and Grace and That 70s Show!
But this is going to make Alias' finale look pathetic!

I just hope NBC doesn't pull a CW/7thHeaven with Will and Grace.

Isn't that better than what most of their reruns have been getting? There are two CSI showings in that list. One of them was around 13 million and the other is 25 million.
The 25 million is for the finale (I'm assuming) and that is around 5 million down from last year. And repeats usually get around 16+ million (though this was at a different time).
Hopefully, Grey can bite enough out of it so it can be knowcked off the #1 slot (excluding AI)

Last years season finale of CSI was directed by Quentin Tarantino and there was a lot of hype about it, so that helped a lot, I think...

Thats true. So much so that the finale was actually sold as an individual dvd.

The first hour at 8 got about 25-26M viewers, but the second hour shot up to 35M, a record for the show. If it had aired from 9-11 instead, it would've been far and away the highest rated episode of the show. Plus, it had the ho-hum season finale The Apprentice as competition instead of the heavily hyped Will and Grace series finale.
