How many viewers watched the one-hour Full House series finale?

The one-hour Full House series finale was watched by 24.3 million viewers.

The finale, “Michelle Rides Again,” aired on ABC on May 23, 1995, ending the sitcom after eight seasons and 192 episodes. Its audience made it the seventh-highest-rated program of the week and one of the most-watched series finales of the 1994–95 television season.

The story follows Michelle after she loses her memory in a horse-riding accident. Her family tries to help her recover, while the two-part episode also supplies emotional send-offs for the Tanner household. The finale’s one-hour format gave the series room for a larger closing story than its typical 21-to-25-minute episodes.

A common mix-up is confusing the 24.3 million viewers with the finale’s 14.6 household rating or its 25 percent audience share. Those are different Nielsen measures, not alternative viewer totals.
