What’s your axe to grind with Scandal? Scandal is ABC’s highest rated 10pm show this week. They are averaging the same amount as most 10pm shows across all networks. Despite Grey’s crazy up and down trip, Scandal has been crazy steady and recently saw increases.
Thank you I dont get it either.
Ultima has WAY too much patience.

Ouch for “Elementary” – it’s really good show. If it continues to go down in ratings
Post premiere ratings for Elementary – 2.5, 2.3, 2.2, 2.4, 2.2, 2.3, 2.2
Elementary’s ratings are pretty stable and its 2.3 average is solid. It’s not a big hit, but with these numbers, a second season seems very likely.
“There’s four other dramas on CBS with significantly lower ratings than Elementary.
Season-to-date Live+SD avg for new eps
Elementary – 2.4
Vegas – 1.9
The Mentalist – 1.8
The Good Wife – 1.7
CSI: NY – 1.4
CBS will probably only cancel three of those shows.”
If they hold to their typical pattern (and assuming Golden Boy is canceled), they will only cancel two of the shows in that list. Made In Jersey’s already gone.

Isn’t patience a virtue?

Clearly I meant to write “renew” or “two,” but not both.
Grey’s Anatomy should return for a 10th season and then that should be its last. I am really impress that it is still holding up and winning the hour in demo despite following Last Resort’s horrible 1.0 demo. The CW coming in 3rd during the 8pm hour is impressive. NBC should get rid of all the comedies on Thursday.
The Vampire Diaries-3.2
Scandal is so delicious, if it were food, I would have to go to overeaters anonymous! I cant get enough!!
Beauty and the beast is turning into a great show. Love the casting! Good action, great romance!!
