Great job PP and excellent episode last night!
I don’t get it how is 1.8 ratings is better than last week 1.9? Yeah it gained viewers this week but I wouldn’t call it better than last week but I agree great episode last night.
I just checked and PP had a 1.4 last week so it did spike very well.
I wish they would announce next year is the final season for Private Practice so it can have a proper ending. I loved knowing that Desperate Housewives was ending ahead of time and that it would be wrapped up and the ratings wouldn’t matter.
Ha Ha ABC couldn’t figure out a way to show off CT’s numbers. I bet if it weren’t going to TBS they would have stated something like this:
ABC’s critically acclaimed sitcom hit Cougar Town (special douuble episode) managed to lure nearly 4 million viewers from NBC’s hit competition America’s Got Talent and CBS’s #1 show NCIS. CT was #1 with single female viewers age 25-34 and #2 with with women under 34.
Why end the show if the ratings are still OK. As far as I know they are planning a full season not just 13 weeks.
LMAO Fred!!!
lol this is the first time they skip a show in the press release?? even the worst show’s ratings they spin about it!!!

I LOVE ABC press releases. Very creative and entertaining. I try not to miss any of them. For some reason the press releases for the other networks don’t work as well.
Too bad PP didn’t do better. Caterina Scorsone has been the standout all season. Too bad Grey’s big lead-in is going to be wasted on that trainwreck of a show Scandal.
Hey no way Scandal is a trainwreck I love the show, great cast, good writing.
