Good for Secret Circle!
At least the CW has 1 solid night.
Not bad for Grey’s. Hoping it does not drop much this season.
hooray grey’s! and yay for PP not ticking down.
Maybe I should start watching The Big Bang Theory. Those numbers are great
hope whitney stays around for a while
Ouch at How To Be a Gentleman!!!!
TVD and PP r amazing!!!!
Big drop for Gentlemen — I wonder if P&R was close to it or beat it in 18-34?
How To Be A Gentleman is dead. I mean, it will probably drop in the second episode from the 2.5 it got in its last 15 minutes. CBS would be better off just putting TBBT repeats there. At least Person Of Interest would have a better lead-in.
only things i care about on this day is Person of Interest POI and Vampire Diaries VD…i like a few others but could live without them
Decent growth for Community and maintenance for Parks & Rec, a couple of terrific episodes. Might as well give Patricia Clarkson the Outstanding Guest Actress Emmy for Tammy 1 right now.
Really thought James Spader would help to resuscitate The Office, but that show should have a toe tag placed on it at this point.
That’s right, Whitney, keep falling…
Is prime suspect definitely a goner? I know that someone posted this link (http://tinyurl.com/6en59vf) on the premlinary result, but do Rob or Bill know if it really is close to cancellation?
That said I wish they would cancel whitney, truly awful television
I believe that’s a timeslot high for BBT, only last week’s 830 episode rated higher
I’m happy for all the comedies, but I wish Community would get better. Is it just me, or is it not the show I remember from last year?
I’m thinking that CBS is going to keep TBBT on Thursdays.
Now, if they could only find a compatible 8:30 show.
You know your show is bad when Kevin Dillon is the best thing about it…and he’s just doing his Johnny Drama schtick.
Bummed PoI didn’t go up.
ABC needs to move one of the scripted hour-long shows from ABC Family to 8 PM on Thursday. It can’t do worse than Charlie’s Angels.
It is more clear than ever that “Ringer” must be CANCELED!!!!!! SMG must instead return to playing Buffy the vampire slayer when Buffy the Vampire Slayer is brought back! It is obvious that SMG can play only one role for the rest of her life!!!!!!
The CW’s self-professed ratings standard is how many women 18-34 are watching! This week the women 18-34 ratings for CW shows are:
2.0 Vampire Diaries
1.8 90210
1.7 Gossip Girl
1.5 Secret Circle
1.4 Hart of Dixie
1.3 Ringer, Top Model
0.9 H8R
“Top Model” and “H8R” are reality and thus are cheaper than Ringer’s entire wardrobe budget! Which means “Ringer” is the biggest loser and must go, go, go!!
Next step: death to “How I Met Your Mother” and “Bones” so Alyson Hannigan and David Boreanaz can return to their iconic roles!
Dollhouse forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever! “Ringer” for never and never and never and never and never and never and never and never and never and never and never and never and never and never and never and never and never and never!
