Wow, only number 30 in it's final season? That one surprised me...

Will and Grace Fanatic · 08-18-2002, 04:17 PM

I thought they were in the top 10 their whole run.

GoldenFamilyTies · 08-18-2002, 06:19 PM

Nope, in its last season it was tied for 30th with "In The Heat of the Night".

Jordan · 08-18-2002, 11:38 PM

Gee, I thought that its last season was its best, so I'm really surprised to see it get only to #30!

Will and Grace Fanatic · 08-19-2002, 12:38 AM

At least they were in the top 30 their whole run.

I think the reason why GG fell to #30 it's last season was because NBC moved the show to 8:00pm when it had been at 9:00pm for 6 seasons. Plus it was an adult show moved into a family time slot.

The show was certainly as good as ever during the 7th Season.

The 7th season was just as good as all the rest. The time slot thing must have been the reason it dropped to number 30. When you move a show that has been in the same spot for 6 years it's only logical that it would lose ratings. Either way staying in the top 30 for 7 years is really good.
