All the Grey’s fans who are sitting here gloating, first off, really?
Secondly, I know that 18-49 is very important, but I feel pretty good that POI gets over 5 million (sometimes closer to 6) viewers more than Grey’s…. I don’t care what age group. It’s a better show, and it gets more viewers.
Lmao at the earlier gloating from POI fans. Go Grey’s!
Impressive for Scandal, now that we know that 2.5 was the real deal. I don’t watch it so I’m not really invested in its prospects but it’s nice to see a show start to turn itself around, even if it did recieve a lot of promotion to make it happen. Interested to see how it does next week.
Yeah Greys! And erm wow – Scandal DID get a 2.5
Elementary is wasted in that post super bowl slot. What are CBS thinking? Give it to 2BG’s for gawds sake.
Happy that Glee adjusted up! This is really a great season!
Scandal holds its gains. I see “certain renewal” in its future.
I just love all those Scandal haters, predicting it will adjust down, You ppl need to get a life and stop hating.

@Lmao at the earlier gloating from POI fans. Go Grey’s!
More from Greys fans from what I can see. It’s all silly anyway. Should the Two and a Half Men fanbase come on and start gloating that the show steam-rolled Greys in every area?
Shows are nothing alike, but as we’re on the pointless subject, should they? We could get people from twitter to come here.
Wow for Scandal. Just wow.
Suck it, naysayers!
SCANDAL RULES!!!!!
HAHA Person of Interest looks like it’ll never beat Grey’s. I’m not a psycho about one being better than the other, but it’s still funny for all the people who do
I think this is the 5th time this season PoI has gotten a 2.9 in the finals. Only once has it gotten a 3.0.
But at least it’s remarkably and unbelievably consistent!
No adjustment for “Scandal.” For once I called it right.
Boy some people take umbrage if you happen to say something against a certain show. Whether someone likes or dislikes a show like Scandal, Revenge, POI or Elementary it’s just a show. The numbers are what they are & if someones show bests another show whoopee. Most of these shows will all be back regardless so I can say my show is more popular because it got more viewers while the other show wins in the 18-49 demo so it’s better.
The natural order is restored, poi < Grey's Anatomy.
Well, it didn’t take B&B long to completely tank. This was inevitable. In contrast, TSC didn’t receive it first 0.5 rating until episode 19. At this rate of decline, B&B’s ratings will have permanently fallen into Emily Owens territory long before it airs that number of episodes, .
@Bill
I don’t understand that old saying. English is not my first language. Are you suggesting I’m crazier than Petar because I don’t remember gloating like that here.
@The End Who cares about 25-54? 18-49 is what matters to the networks and the advertisers. And Greys has consistently beaten POI in this demo. And we all know the demo win is more important than total viewers.
@Melissa
Actually, the TV week is Sunday to Saturday.
