A 30 share would have been awesome. From Variety:
Friends dominated the ratings Thursday night pulling a 21.5 rating for the clip show at 8pm Eastern and a 29.2 rating for the series finale at 9pm Eastern
An estimated 51.1 million Americans tuned in to watch the final episode of Friends on NBC Thursday night, according to news reports, citing preliminary ratings from Nielsen Media Research.
The tally, which was in line with most expectations, made the program the top-rated show on NBC since the Seinfeld finale in 1998, Bloomberg News reported. NBC set a record with ad prices for the show, charging an average of $20 million for each 30-second spot.
Seinfeld drew about 76.2 million viewers for its swan song. The last episode of Cheers, in 1993, was watched by 80.4 million. And M*A*S*H's finale drew 105 million viewers.

No. I not only hate the show, I hate every actor and actress on it. All six of them need to be detained in the Abu Ghraib prison. And I don't like that pretty boy Brad Pitt either!
My God, how did this show stay on for ten years led alone stay on top for ten???
