It averaged 8.92 million viewers.<br \/>\n===<\/p>\n<p><b>Update:<\/b> Up in the overnight household ratings (and in total viewers), the season finale of &#8220;Grey&#8217;s Anatomy&#8221; is thus far flat in the adults 18-49 demographic.<\/p>\n<p>Thursday&#8217;s episode, which featured the departure of Sandra Oh&#8217;s Cristina Yang, scored a 2.5 adults 18-49 rating with 8.61 million viewers in the fast nationals.  While ahead of last week&#8217;s performance in the comparable fast nationals, the adults 18-49 rating is even with that posted in last week&#8217;s Nielsen Final data (which received an upward adjustment).<\/p>\n<p>The hope, therefore, is that &#8220;Grey&#8217;s&#8221; enjoys a similarly upward adjustment in this week&#8217;s finals.<\/p>\n<p>Even if it does improve slightly, however, a mere mild ratings gain for such a heavily hyped episode has to be considered a disappointment.<\/em><br \/>\n========<\/p>\n<p>While they did not return to blockbuster levels, ratings predictably improved for the tenth season finale of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;Grey&#8217;s Anatomy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The episode, which also featured the aggressively promoted farewell of Sandra Oh&#8217;s Cristina Yang, posted a 6.7 overnight household rating.<\/p>\n<p>Up from the 6.0 posted by last week&#8217;s episode, the performance signposts&#8211;but does not guarantee&#8211;a similar uptick in adults 18-49 and total viewers.  Those numbers will be revealed by noon.<\/p>\n<p>The episode, which ranked second to CBS&#8217; &#8220;The Big Bang Theory&#8221; in the evening&#8217;s overnights, will also place second in adults 18-49.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1048,437],"tags":[233,76,596],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Update: &quot;Grey&#039;s Anatomy&quot; Ratings Up Slightly for Season Finale<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update 2: The appeal of the season finale and Sandra Oh&#039;s last episode gave &quot;Grey&#039;s Anatomy&quot; only a slight boost in the ratings this week.
