i see an 8.2 leading to 9.0 in the final hour in the overnight ratings. As for national ratings, i see it doing a 7.6 at 9:00 pm leading to an 8.0-8.2 in the final hour, with an average of 13.5-14 million viewers.
Anyone else apalled by L&O:SVU's ratings? How did it only manage 10.2 million viewers for a season finale? The week before it had 12.3 million viewers. What happened? This is the only Law and Order I watch...and can stand...and I think I'd be devastated if it got canceled. At least SVUs ratings are still far ahead of the original and CI.
I was saddened to see Law & Order SVU take a tumble in the ratings, but think some people aren't happy over 2 of the stars getting so much money. This means less money for everyone else. I think the pair of them are overpaid!
The show (SVU) has been on for eight seasons...the main actors deserve a significant pay raise. I don't think people are mad at that. But what caused such a decline, esp. for a season finale? I thought this season was strong...maybe not as strong as seasons 3 through 6...but still strong considering it wrapped season 8.
