Showtime's marijuana-dealing comedy Weeds ended its run on Sunday with a season-high 864,000 viewers tuning in to its one-hour series finale at 10 p.m.

That was 7% higher than the season eight debut back on July 1, which drew 805,000 viewers and up 55% from the 556,000 viewers who watched the season seven finale last summer.

Weeds drew 1.28 million viewers for the entire night, including replays, up 74% from the season seven finale night.
