POI Strong
Don’t be so happy next week TBBT will fall for sure. I’m not a hater but not a lover. I’m not sure this show deserves to beat The Walking Dead.
This is starting to get old. Can all the tweens stop with all the Vampire Diaries talk? Seriously. Congrats . More people watched it this week than last, now lets move on!
@ Max. I get what your saying but these arrows lovers are saying 6 episodes of Arrow is better then TVD!?!. Thats absurd to say the least. I dont want us to fight being that i hope the CW starts doing well but Arrow truely is only decent. I have a feeling there bitter SPN fans. And i only watch TVD and Arrow on the CW. But i still hopr for the best for the network.
Last Resort is hurting GA frankly,
POI is also hurting Elementary maybe?
A shame about Last Resort, the episode last night was good tv.
POI once again had a stellar episode, but it couldn’t dethrone Greys… Time however is on POI’s side… It will eventually take the spot…
TVD will is definately the best show on CW..i like arrow but how long will it last with this storyline of revenge?? Its mdef not gonna hold up for 5 seasons…
@TVDxItachi
It’s their opinion just as it’s mine that TVD is not a quality show. TVD lovers think it’s the end all, be all of the CW. Certainly Wednesday nights prove that theory wrong. Without inept vampires and bi-polar heroines.
is a 5.7 a record? It seems like it must be!
btw… Where was Max this morning? For all the Revenge hate he spews on Monday and Scandal love, he has been gone all day….
Has he finally thrown the towel and accepted the reality that Revenge has better ratings than Scandal could ever hope to have….
3,2,1 Light the match
TVD beat ABC and NBC
Big Bang Theory is the highest rated show on television, right? I’m talking scripted, of course.
Last Resort makes Nashville look good:) My guess is that if Nashville can stay above a 1.7 for the entire season, then it is a lock for next season.
@ Don’t be so happy next week TBBT will fall for sure. I’m not a hater but not a lover. I’m not sure this show deserves to beat The Walking Dead.
ME: Sure bet. Next week all CBS line up is in reruns.
@ POI once again had a stellar episode, but it couldn’t dethrone Greys… Time however is on POI’s side… It will eventually take the spot…
ME: One more sure bet. When thursday football is over. Wich is end of december.
I watch neither POI or GA but glad to see GA come out on top given the gloating in the last post.
@TVDxItachi
Wow bitter SPN fans? how are we bitter? I don’t care what shows do on the CW network, I care that SPN is doing better and gaining viewers compared to last season.
The only shows I watch are Arrow and SPN, but I am no bitter SPN fan I have nothing to be bitter about. That was an absurd statement to make.
@Oliver
TBBT’s series high was a 6.2 in the spring of 2010.
CBS should really put Elementary at 9pm one week to see if it can take better advantage of the lead-in. Too bad neither it nor POI turned out to be the hits that CBS had hoped for.
Last Resort and 666 Park Avenue have now both hit a 1.2 rating. I do hope at least one of them (preferably 666) gets to air out all its episodes…
@karin
How can POI be hurting Elementary when it’s on the same network and it doesn’t air against it, and it’s not a weak lead-in
@TVDxItachi
Eh why would us SN fans be bitter towards TVD? I’m genuinely curious that’s a new one for me o.o
@cj morton
is a 5.7 a record? It seems like it must be!
No, the 17.63 million viewers is a series high (by nearly a million, over the previous high last week).
However, The Big Bang Theory had a 6.0 in its third season, when it aired at 9:30pm on Mondays (specifically, it hit 6.0 the day after CBS had the Super Bowl).
