Hollywoodreporter.com:

Steve Carell’s last episode of The Office was the top-rated scripted show of the night boosting NBC to a second place tie with CBS in the 18-49 demographic behind Fox and American Idol.

On NBC, the expanded Office aired from 9-9:53 p.m., garnering a 4.1 rating with 8.3 million viewers from 9-9:30 p.m. and a 4.0 rating with 8.0 million viewers from 9:30-10 p.m., according to preliminary numbers from Nielsen. If those numbers don’t drop, it will give The Office its best performance in the 9 p.m. half hour since January (when snowstorms pounding the northeast kept many viewers inside in front of their televisions). By comparison, Will Ferrell’s first episode of The Office two weeks ago pulled in a 4.0 rating with 7.7 million viewers. Parks and Recreation, which was also super-sized, pulled in a 2.3 rating with 4.6 million viewers from 10-10:30 p.m., while 30 Rock (1.9, 3.9 million) was down 14 percent.
