It was a terrific episode but now I am worried about the upcoming rebellion-street artist plot for Bay – wasn’t this a theme last year on “90210?”
Perhaps I don’t live in the right urban area but do groups of spray-painting non-graffiti artists who live by their own code of conduct -really exist?
“Retains Nearly 100% of its Audience Week to Week in Target 18-34s and Women 18-49″

“So that means 4 out of the 5 people that watched it tuned in again.”
More like 3 out of 4 people.
From last week to this week, Switched at Birth lost about
40 percent of the teens;
2 percent of the 18-34 year olds;
20 percent of the 35-49 year olds;
and 44 percent of the people too young (2-11) or old (50+) for ABC Family to give a crap about.
