Yay for Last Redort and Grey’s, also I knew Scandal would get adjusted down but happy it was only one tenth anyway, anyway I really hope Last Resort can grow and scandal too
So happy to see that P&R didn’t adjust Dow. Such an awesome show.
are TELEMUNDO ratings better than the cw?
im glad that 2 abc shows r going up
IMHO Last Resort will get cancel before the midseason starts.Scandal is facing the second and last season,unless ABC wants to give a treatment like CBS does with TGW.Poor ratings,but good quality tv.
I am HAPPY! POI UPTREND continue! So from POI season 1 finale was UP 0.4 and now from its season 2 premiere is UP 0.1! Almost match its series premiere 3.1! If in fall with football is so strong in spring must be beast. As i said it “only” several times(1236477 times) BEST SCRIPTED SHOW ON TV! Its good that all competition is aging shows in decline and will drop a lot from here.
Too bad POI got adjusted down. But it still is a 3 so that’s great. Hope it does continue growing!!
Scandal has ABC´s best ratings in the 10 pm hour.
Yay for GA. ABC scored the 2 best dramas this week – OUAT and GA. Am I the only one who thinks that Scandal’s and Last Resort’s places should be swapped.
it is amazing once upon a time rated 0.9 higher than so-called tv no.1 new drama poi, which has a 3.6 lead in.
@gustavo
Scandal, good quality TV? You MUST be joking.
Yah for Last Resort, and know i watch it but Yah for Scandal, ruining lead-in chances, should do better considering the compatability of both being Shonda shows, starting to wonder if she has something in her contract with ABC that says one of her other shows has to be behind Greys, would explain a lot over the years.
Last Resort beat Scandal in viewers and almost tied in demo even with the fact Scandal has Greys as lead-in and it has to face TBBT and The X Factor.
Good for Greys, maybe it is too early, and touch wood, but looks like Greys is a go for Season 10, wonder will it go further than that, if so wouldn’t be much further.
BTW, Christina in the bath tub, especially bit about Lexi, just killed me.
TBBT wasn’t adjusted up. thought it would be. Elementary better level off at this or they might start to get a bit worried.
Good job for Parks and The Office, glad 30 rock was adjusted up, but can almost guarantee that only one of these 4 to be around in 2013/2014 season will be Parks, a big part of that is the Emmy love, especially since 30 Rock won’t be around anymore as well.
Overall:
Good – CBS until 10pm
ABC until 10pm
FOX.
NBC from 9pm to 10pm
Okay – CBS from 10 to 11
ABC from 10 to 11
Bad – The Rest.
…and don’t forget that number for The Next has a margin of error of +/- .2
Friends had 10 seasons.Seinfeld had 9 seasons.Both end quality and rating-wise speaking great.Two and a half men:10th season:Quality-wise has nothing else to offer…and rating-wise speaking:Its starting slowly to sink.IMO the producers did a mistake with the character of Ashton Kutcher:He should be some kind of young cousing of Alan:With a very similar role like:Charlie Sheen.
That’s more like it, Grey’s.
Is that a season high for the office?
Elementary is a crap. Better put h5o or NCIS LA after POI! CBS “super thursday” will be even stronger!
YES for Last Resort. Adjusted up in demo and viewers! Hopefully is stabilizes around here.
I hope some more viewers tune it. It is a complex topic BUT it’s entertaining.
good job SCANDAL. doing decent without much promotion as compared to the over-hyped and overrated REVENGE. good for LAST RESORT too.
I can’t wait for Scandal to go below a 2.0.
Great rating for Grey’s.
So The Office did better than Go On. PATHETIC.
TAAHM adjusted down is strange. Knew POI would be adjusted down since it didn’t begin until 9.03pm.
Elementary not looking so good, since its only the second week.
Grey’s is doing great. Scandal however has bad ratings as usual.
