    3.1 – 3.5. Im basing this on the DH finale from last week. I thought the ratings would rise immensly but the didnt, so Im guessing that for house. The ratings have been lower this year as is viewership so I dint expect a large rise for the finale. Possibly 10-12 million viewers.

    it’ll be a successful night if it can break 3.0, which it probably can considering there’s no real competition.

    2.3

    No one knows its even ending. No promotions.

    How sad that House is ending. I hope it at least beats the season premier rating of 3.9.

    It may get into the 2.6-3.0 range since it is the finale of a long running series.
    But recent ratings would seem to indicate it will get about a 2.3 or 2.4.

    Last season really put the hurt on its rating potential.

    I’d say at least a 3.5. First, tons of people who used to watch the show and stopped will probably want to catch the finale. Plus, there’s nothing else on.

    2.8 at best, 2.5 otherwise

    Might be around a 3.0, but I’m watching America’s Got Talent and Monday Night Raw tonight.

    I don’t think it will get better than a 3.0, Desperate Housewives had a better average than that and got a 3.3, but I voted for 2.6-3.0.

    2.2, won’t change much from recent weeks

    Geesh, remember when House consistently brought in 5.0 and higher? Hoping for a great rating come morning. My guess is right around a 3.0. I know the ratings this year have been bleak but considering it’s the series finale and there is no CBS competition a 3.0 or higher is definitely with-in reach. Will it finally be Lupus tonight? It’s been a fun 8 years, Doc.

    Seeing that the recent Desperate Housewives and One Tree Hill finales didn’t have huge upswings, I’m not expecting House to, either. Maybe a 2.6?
