And Grey’s Anatomy reclaims its place as the #1 network drama!
And The Middle is finally and deservingly in the top 25
And TWD is the #1 non-football show and #1 drama period with a 5.6 number in 18-49
Wow the middle tied with once upon a time shocker
And RVN scores in the top 25 for the all important 18-49 demo. Despite its drop it still delivers a respectable healthy rating for NBC & remains their highest rated new show.
Only two dramas hit 3.0, sad…
THE VOICE is always in the Top 5! Yahoo!!!~
I honestly think the Good Wife is too intelligent for the 18-49 demo. It has great writing and acting – younger viewers sadly opt for less content in that area.

I honestly think the Good Wife is too intelligent for the 18-49 demo
Intelligent people don’t start their sentences with “I honestly think” because they think it emphasizes their point.
@ruudisss
In 18-49 and total viewers, too! Why the increase, I wonder (not that that’s a bad thing)?
The Middle rocks!!!
Go POI!!
I love The Middle and I am so happy it is up there!
wtf 2 1/2 men is stop a top 10…wtf if wrong with people do you have no taste.
