About 5 million people tuned in to the premiere telecast of the Burn Notice series finale last night at 9 PM — the USA Network show’s biggest audience in more than a year. That’s 1 million+ viewers stronger than the drama series’ penultimate episode last week. About 1.6 million of the crowd who came to say goodbye after seven seasons were 18-49 year olds. It was the night’s second-most-watched cable program, behind only NFL Network’s New England Patriots vs New York Jets football game — that clocked 8.8 million viewers.

RIP Maddie! Mike, Fi & Charlie in Ireland and Sam & Jesse still carrying on in Miami. Couldn't ask for a better ending.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Burn Notice ended with strong ratings, the cast and the crew deserve it and the series finale was such a great episode.
ReplyDeleteI just can't help but thinking there would be a next season if all these viewers have watched BN all along.
("You know viewers, bunch of bitchy little girls" :-p )
I dream of a Sam spin-off where he comes up with catchphrases such as "you know spies..." on a weekly basis! :P
ReplyDeleteI am so glad the finale was a hit ratings-wise. It deserved it.
ReplyDeleteI don't think ratings are the reason Burn Notice got cancelled. It was consistently in the top 25 most viewed cable list, usually second after WWE for USA, and averaged a 1.o in demo or higher. That may not seem like much but it is enough to make it one of the best rated shows on USA Network still.
ReplyDeleteYes, you're right. I know ratings aren't the reason why they got cancelled. And I know also that the show was getting old and had to end.
ReplyDeleteI think this was just my way saying : I'm dreaming about BN being nothing but number 1 in the most viewed cable list and getting a last season again, different than this season.
