please don’t cancel Scandal – finally a show I can watch!!! Love it!!!
ya’ll need to buy the right to the unit for a season 5 and beyond u wont be disappointed
TBBT was awesome!!!
i think grey’s will hit above the 4 again.it was a little bir bit shocking even i know what will happen.
THE SECRET CIRCLE MUST BE RENEWED! BEST SERIE I HAVE SEEN
It’s sad that the secret circle is going down cuz of people don’t have time/don’t got the channel that the secret circle goes on, all pirates out there love them!
wow this is pretty pathetic… GREY’S absolutely DOMINATED Person Of Interest! Greys got a 3.5 and POI got a 2.6 — Greys beat it out by NINE tenths of a point!!! haha take that CBS! Grey’s will ALWAYS be Thursday’s #1 DRAMA not your cheap procedural POI!
The secret circle is cancelled. I guess the cw made the decision weeks ago.
GA first drama ,NCIS down,yesssss
SCANDAL GOT RENEWED FOR A SECOND SEASON! WOOHOO!
I still dont know why they would cancel a show that was adjusted up, The Vampire Diaries ratings arent that much higher that The Secret Circle in their time slot.
Isn’t it nice that guys between the ages of 18 and 49 have to resort to watching soap operas on prime time tv with their girlfriends or wives. So do you “men” out there pretend that you are McDreamy or McSteamy? Hey ladies, who do you pretend that your “men” are? Hmmmmm?
Scandal is really a good show so I am surprised it is not doing better. The same goes for Missing. It amazes me that Big Bang Theory does so well when it is such a stupid show!
I don’t understand why people like The Big Bang Theory so much. It really is a
dam show. There is no story to it. It’s more a kids show. I tried a few times to
watch it, but it’s really boring.
I’m a really big fan of The Mentalist. But when I watched it Thursday, It was
really upsetting for me. Jane is really going down hill. Next Thursday is even
worse. He shoots someone. I hope next season he can get himself out of what he’s
got himself into. And I hope he can get his job back.
Rules should seal the deal for renewal with a 2.7.
Disappointed with Grey’s. Have the writers been drinking? Lets see- last year a shooting rampage- now a plane crash? Give me a break!
I for one am ecstatic that Scandal is being renewed!
Oh Oliver………. Fox continues to put nails in the coffins of CBS and NBC. How many failures have they had? You should learn a lesson from Touch… Get in Touch with whats happening in the real world, not what you think you know. Good Luck with that.
WE WANT MORE SECRET CIRCLE!
@Matto, Person of Interest isn’t a procedural, you obviously haven’t watched it… and if POI is cheap, then what is Grey’s?
The only thing out if this that I bothered watching was Awake… sucks that it was up against such good competition, and aired on “shitcom-only” network NBC.
