The irony of CBS having the #1 and #2 scripted shows is hilarious.

How is that ironic, Acey?
To me, more interesting is the view gap between number 20 and number 22. What happened to all of those mid-rated series? Also weird to see Grey’s Anatomy almost dropping out of the top 20 altogether.

Grey’s Anatomy is in a free fall coming in at #20 in total viewers.
The Office coming in at #24 is a surprise, I never see that show in the Top 25

Doug the irony is that CBS is drilled constantly for being old skewing and boring blah blah blah but at the end of the week they still somehow have the top scripted shows in both departments.
