E.R. FINALE BIGGEST DRAMA FINALE SINCE 1996

Final ratings figures now indicate that Thursday's two-hour finale of E.R. drew more viewers than any closer of a dramatic series since Murder, She Wrote writ its last mystery in 1996. The NBC medical drama, which at its peak could routinely attract 30 million viewers and once pulled in 47.8 million in 1998, captured 16.4 million last week, its best numbers in three years. The most-watched TV show in history was the 1983 finale of M*A*S*H*, which drew 105 million. The final episode of Friends drew 52 million viewers.
