USA's long-running series link exited with a recording-breaking 9.5 million viewers, making it the most-watched hourlong series ever on basic cable.

The dramedy, which centers on a detective with a serious case of OCD, concluded its run Friday and topped link's record of 9.2 million.

The show, which stars Tony Shalhoub as Adrian link, came to a close after eight seasons on USA. Shalhoub garnered seven Emmy nominations — and won three — for link.
