617 – The End
13.50 million viewers

From TVbytheNumbers.
And here are some press releases from ABC bragging about Lost: here and here.
I was pretty close. I thought it would be 14 million viewers with a 5.5/12 share.
Here are the half-hour breakdowns:
The Final Journey:
7:00 – 9.39 million 3.8/13 18-49
7:30 – 8.90 million 3.6/12 18-49
8:00 – 10.09 million 4.1/12 18-49
8:30 – 10.99 million 4.6/13 18-49
The clip show did pretty well. I watched it. I even got a friend of mine who is behind to watch the whole thing with us. He seemed to understand what was happening because of the clips.
I was a little disturbed with the lack of attention some of the characters got. They barely mentioned Juliet, Daniel and Walt, and I don’t think they mentioned Ana Lucia Libby and Eko at all. But I can imagine if I was making a clip show of six seasons of Lost and I had to compress it to two hours, those people would be the first to be cut… well not Daniel and Juliet.
617 – The End
9:00 – 13.09 million 5.6/15 18-49
9:30 – 12.91 million 5.6/14 18-49
10:00 – 13.06 million 5.6/14 18-49
10:30 – 13.09 million 5.7/15 18-49
11:00 – 15.31 million 6.4/19 18-49
I can’t imagine what happened at 11:00. Apparently all the fools who finished watching Celebrity Apprentice felt the need to switch over and watch the last half hour of Lost. That would be so confusing.

I know some people (fools!) who were watching sports games (lakers/suns, stanley cup, yankees/mets) and then switched over to catch the end of lost.
