From the OC Register -
The third season finale of Bravo's reality TV show "The Real Housewives of Orange County" was the highest rated episode in series history.
The Jan. 22 episode, which featured the sky's-the-limit wedding of Lauri Waring and George Peterson, attracted a record-setting 2.018 million total viewers and 1.488 million between the ages of 18 and 49, according to Nielsen Media Research.
Those figures cap another successful week for the cable network. Bravo enjoyed its second consecutive week of record-breaking highs among adults 18-49 and total viewers in prime time. This month is shaping up to be Bravo's best ever, the network said in a statement issued Thursday.
Season three of "Housewives" averaged 1.315 million total viewers and 997,000 among adults 18-49, representing 21 and 15 percent increases over season two, respectively. The season three finale saw a 37 percent increase among total viewers over season two's final episode, the network said.
Page views of "Housewives" on Bravo's Web site, www.bravotv.com, also hit new records this past season.
The network did not release any information about continuing the Orange County-based reality program for a fourth season. Its "Real Housewives of New York City" spinoff will start March 4.
A special, "reunion" episode featuring all six Orange County housewives will air at 9 p.m. Jan. 29. Bravo programming executive Andy Cohen will host "The Real Housewives Confess: Watch What Happens Special," which is being billed as a behind-the-scenes dish on the most dramatic and sensational moments from season three. Former "housewife" Jo De La Rosa will make a special visit on the program
