For one last time, a crowd turned out to watch the goings-on on Wisteria Lane.

The Nielsen company said ABC's "Desperate Housewives" drew a little more than 11 million viewers for its series finale on Sunday night. It wasn't in the top 10, where the series usually landed in its heyday, but was nearly 3 million people more than watched regularly this season.

The primary characters were all seen moving away from the cul-de-sac they called home in the final episode.

CBS comfortably won the week in prime-time, with "NCIS" the most popular program.
