Nielsens: 'Sons of Anarchy,' 'Victoria's Secret'

'Sons of Anarchy' (and Charlie Hunnam) rode off into the sunset with a series-high 6.4 million viewers.

Finales. FX's Sons of Anarchy wrapped up its seven-season run Tuesday with a series-high 6.4 million same-day viewers. HBO's The Newsroom called it quits after a shortened third season with 1.6 million, a season high, and Fox's Gracepoint ended its run with 4 million Thursday, its biggest total since September's premiere.

Charming ladies. CBS' Victoria's Secret Fashion Show wowed a typical 9.3 million viewers Tuesday, down slightly from last year. "Retired" Barbara Walters resurrected her 10 Most Fascinating People ABC special Sunday, snaring 7.8 million, down from last year's 8.9 million.

Odds and ends. CBS' Mike & Molly returned for a fifth season with 8.1 million viewers Monday, when ABC's Great Christmas Light Fight returned for a second season with a best-yet 6.8 million. Showtime's Homeland netted 2.1 million for Sunday's penultimate episode, easily topping Newsroom, while The Affair hit a second-best 837,000.
