- The biggest mover of the evening was Law & Order: SVU, well above average for its season finale and becoming another of those rare primetime shows to triple the rating of its lead-in. (By my count, this has only been pulled off by Grey's Anatomy, Criminal Minds, The Office and Celebrity Apprentice among entertainment programs this season).
- Another good late-season story has been The Middle, posting its highest number in almost three months with Survivor out of the way, but it's been on an upswing lately anyway. The show appeared to be wearing down against the heavy competition but is now almost back to season-average levels.
- The only big decliner was Cougar Town, but that's fairly expected considering it faced Idol. It tied a series low and had its worst-ever Modern Family retention.
