GO TO WEEKLY RATINGS PAGE
Note: Network average numbers from the week prior are based on fast national data. Comparison’s from the week prior (or episode-to-episode, etc.) on specific shows are based on final national data. Ratings for the current day are based on fast nationals. (Expect all three scenarios to be the case at all times, unless otherwise noted). The final rating for first-run episodes that aired this evening will be reported the following week. So for example, the final rating for tonight’s episode of “NBA Finals Game 2: Los Angeles Lakers at Boston Celtics” will be reported in next weeks report for Sunday, June 15, 2008.
Also keep in mind that because these are fast national ratings, numbers may increase or decrease when the final nationals are released.

The fourth season finale of Lost powered ABC to comfortable win last night, but it wasn’t all good news, as the show was off by 1.66M viewers (12%) and 17% among adults 18-49 from last season’s finale.
Elsewhere on the evening, Fox held steady in second place with a strong showing from So You Think You Can Dance?, while week two of Last Comic Standing fared very poorly, off by 25% among viewers and adults 18-49, allowing CBS to sneak into third place with a slate of repeats.
Continue reading for my full analysis of the night’s programs which includes a season four chart for Lost, detailing the show’s severe loss of viewership over the season.

With CBS out of the picture, it was time for ABC to shine courtesy the networks season finales of Ugly Betty and Grey’s Anatomy, which were both off from their year-ago season finales, but still strong enough to easily carry the evening.
Elsewhere on the evening, the season premiere of So You Think You Can Dance? put Fox in second place ahead of CBS which aired repeats and NBC which aired an episode of Deal or No Deal and the season premiere of Last Comic Standing.

The two-hour season finale of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and two episodes, including the fourth season finale, of Desperate Housewives put ABC well ahead of the competition Sunday night, despite not being able to quite match last year’s finales. CBS saw okay results from its lineup of 60 Minutes and The 43rd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards, which drew more viewers and adults 18-49 from last year’s edition.
Fox followed up in third place led by the season finales of The Simpsons, King of the Hill and American Dad, though all three shows were off a good deal from their year-ago season finale numbers.
NBC was even from the week prior, while The CW rounded out the pack in last place, as the network aired its season finales of Everybody Hates Chris, Aliens in America and The Game.

CBS’s trio of finales (Ghost Whisperer, Moonlight, and Numb3rs) led the network to an easy Friday night victory, out-drawing its closest competitor ABC (who itself stayed afloat thanks to a finale of its own via America’s Funniest Home Videos) by nearly 2 million viewers and 23%.
Elsewhere on the evening, The CW got a rare reprieve from the bottom, as its WWE Smackdown pulled the network into third place among households and viewers (tied for third among adults 18-49).

Because so many shows (7) had their season finales last night, I’ve included ratings charts (for the entire season) of each show, and you’ll find the decline/increase from the year ago numbers in parentheses below (HH= Households, V= Viewers and A18-49= Adults 18-49). Don’t forget to click through the jump for even more analysis.
CBS took households and viewers on the strength of the season finales of CSI (Households: -12%, Viewers: -13%/2.72M, Adults 18-49: -24%) and Without a Trace (HH: -2%, V: +2%/0.23M, A18-49: -8%), but the network fell to third place among adults 18-49. That left ABC in first among A18-49 courtesy original episodes of its lineup, while NBC managed to just sneak into second among A18-49 courtesy the season finales of My Name Is Earl (HH: nc, V: +3%/0.19M, A18-49: nc), The Office (HH: +4%, V: +2%/0.19M, A18-49: +5%), and E.R. (HH: -14%, V: -12%/1.12M, A18-49: -8%). Fox stayed consistent in fourth place with its gameshow lineup, while The CW saw slight gains from the week prior courtesy season finales of Smallville (HH: nc, V: -9%/0.38M, A18-49: -6%) and Supernatural (HH: +6%, V: +8%/0.21M, A18-49: nc).
