Oprah's highly publicized sitdown with Michael Jackson's parents and kids yesterday drew a 8.1 household ratings, a season high for the talk show queen, now in the final season of her syndicated talk show. The episode, Oprah Talks To Michael Jackson’s Mother, Katherine, And Visits With His Children, was also Oprah's highest-rated episode in an year, since her interview with Sarah Palin last November.
Also today, the most recent syndication national ratings were released, and Oprah marked its 600th consecutive week in a row as the No.1 talk show on television. After a string of low-rated weeks over the summer, the show has picked up steam this fall as it heads into its September 2011 finale.
