@ btw FRIENDS is my second favorite show of all time
Just curious wich is #1….cause friends is my second favorite show of all time too. LOST #1!!!
WOW AT Big Bang Theory!
I’ll believe Deadline before most sites but I need to see at least more than 20 sites reporting the news along with Deadline before making a final determination if its true or not.
This seems to be true as I think ABC wasn’t going to pickup anymore back orders on their new shows this fall.
It’s still on Deadline
It’s official. Last Resort isn’t getting any more episodes. Although, apparently, it’s going to air what’s left.
@ Dochas
Actually I liked a good bit of them, but only went back to MD, Arrow & Nashville.
@ Big Check
I believe NBC comedies are turning the corner the numbers haven’t showed up just yet but they will evnetually probably next season and CBS will start peaking with BBT in a few years so the end is near for them being #1 in the comedy department.
@ Petar & btw
Friends is my #2 also but my #1 is an older show and that’s Dallas never seen a show better than that ever since the 80s.
The demo be okay for Grey’s but the total numbers are awful so far this season. This show will probably go into the 7 million range the second half of the season. I’d like to see it end so my favorite 2 actors on the show can move onto higher caliber projects elsewhere. Grey’s is crap and a waste of their talents.
@One…Thank you. I’m going to miss Sam, Braugher and Speedman.
I’m a huge SPN fan, happen to not watch TVD but I certainly don’t wish it any ill will, and I find that a bit insulting that someone would assume SPN fans are bitter.
Quite the opposite, I hope that TVD continues to do well because it can only help the CW, which can only help all the CW shows.
I do also watch Arrow and BATB, and am pleased to see Arrow doing well while my fingers are crossed that BATB can hang on…..and improve in the ratings!
Oh and if 666 is really cancelled I won’t be surprised, but I will be disappointed. Oh well.
OK, really good day for CBS and………..tv by the numbers. Great CBS and ABC headlines FROM tuesday. Whoever write them deserve promotion:
CBS: ‘Partners’ Is Certain To Be Canceled, Why Didn’t It Get Pulled For ‘Rules Of Engagement’ Already?
ABC: ‘Last Resort’ & ’666 Park Avenue’ Are Certain To Be Canceled, Why Are They Still On The Air?
ops my bad. That was not for here.
@One
Get Chaplin’s key and launch the missiles yourself to punish the unbelievers.
“Last Resort” has been canceled by ABC, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
TBBT is a beast!!!!
Last Resort, on the other hand, is dead in the water (pun intended)
I don’t know what to say about LR really, if it had been last week, I would have been annoyed. But after it’s last episode, I’m so glad it’s finally been given the chop.
@ I have no ill will towards SPN. Jesen and Jared are amazing actors who deserve to be on the air. And Arrow keeps me entertained on Wednesdays so yeah. As for BATB, KK is gorge, so i hope for the best when it comes to BATB. TVD needs a show to pair with. I just hope they dont make VD and B&B promos together like they did last year with TSC. Really turned me off.

Scandal must be hurt by GREYS weak lead in
That’s a joke, right? Grey’s Anatomy is ABC’s second-highest rated show (behind Modern Family), and the #1 drama on network television. Scandal could not ask for a better lead-in.
I’m very impressed that Person of Interest was able to hold onto its 3.1, but as always, Grey’s Anatomy ended up on top, and for the fifth time this season will receive the title of #1 network drama.
I’m so happy for The Big Bang Theory – it was a great episode and deserves the rating! Sad to see Scandal adjusted down, but at least it only fell to a 2.0. Glee is a flop.
Their is no war between Arrow lovers and TVD lovers… It’s only on TVD lovers fans head cuz it’s the first time in a long time that a show does as well as TVD for the CW. So they are afraid that Arrow take the title of ” best show”. You guys didnt notice that they never care about SPN but now that the show actually have great ratings, well they’re starting war against SPN fandom? TVD lovers LOVE to start war ON EVERYTHING anyway!
Scandal will ALWAYS be adjusted down a tenth or two, because Grey’s last two minutes bleed over until 10:02. This is not a revelation. And Scandal is doing just fine. It’ll be back.
