Top 10 rated episodes of the decade
List of top ten ranked episodes on television now makes us fall into nostalgia. No ether after 2006. With the ever increasing teleuniverse, a piece of cake for each channel becomes smaller, and we hardly ever see such a list. It includes maximum one episode from each show.
1. Friends
Date: May 6, 2004
Attendance: 52.5 million
Last episode of "Friends" finale was the golden age of comedy on television, as well as the beginning of the decline of channel NBC. At the time the final "Friends" became the highest rating ether entertaining show for six years and remains so to this day.
2. Survivor:
Date: August 23, 2000
Attendance: 51.7 million
"Survivor" at the time was a new program, started in the dead summer months. However, the August finale nearly broke the finale of "Friends". Viewers have discovered that a new genre of "reality show" does not always win the goodies.
3. Joe Millionaire
Date: February 17, 2003
Attendance: 40 million
Another reality show, marching for one season. Continued in the form of The Next Joe Millionaire could not attract the same audience.
4. ER
Date: February 17, 2000
Attendance: 39.4 million
Week earlier, a schizophrenic patient attacked Lucy Knight and John Carter, leaving the two doctors to bleed. Viewers wanted to see who in the episode "All in the Family" will survive. It is considered one of the most dramatic episodes of the series.
5. American Idol
Date: Jan. 16, 2007
Attendance: 38.1 million
The sixth season premiere of "American Idol" was the peak of show popularity. Until then, each new season is about a larger audience than the previous one.
6. Grey's Anatomy
Date: February 5, 2006
Attendance: 38 million
Code Black! (Warning about the bomb or evacuate due to bomb). The episode, which came after the Super Bowl, has managed to attract the attention of football fans. Dud that was inside the patient can not draw attention!
7. Who Wants to Be a Millionaire
Date: May 3, 2000
Attendance: 36 million
36 million - total viewers over three episodes of "Millionaire", which ran in the same week in May. ABC has often been criticized for what they put on a show three or even four times a week. Perhaps this was the main cause of the short history of the show.

The seventh season finale "Fraiser", spinoff "Cheers", was the most rating in the history of the series.
