Daamnn! Big night for ABC. Wipeout's big demo numbers have certainly given Grey's Anatomy and the entire ABC lineup a big boost. The Off The Map repeat from Wednesday got a 2.0 demo and six million additional viewers. Incredible!
Grey's might be good but the Mentalist is the greatest......
Grey's rocked last night..... One of the best shows on television.
David P, we really can't tell if OTM has 6 million ADDITIONAL viewers. Some of those may have watched it the night before. In any case I don't think OTM will be better than PP (quality and ratings wise)
It looks like GA and DH will continue to be ABC's most popular scripted 1 hour shows for a while.
I think last night episode was ok,
It seemed like it was shot in 2010 before the holiday break, what happened to Grey's hair and Callies' face, I would like to know what prod code this ep has..bad continuity..the content was definately in accordance with the reality of things when it comes to gay rights .. ABC seems to be getting a bit more involved and that is a good thing.
Great 2nd sampling off OFF the Map, looks like ABC has a new hit on there hands!
Looks like NBC has stopped programming on Thurs like their other night, sad, how this once 80s super star has fallen down, poor thing NBC is more of a has been than 80s pop group U2.
Screw you NBC Thursday night reruns. Is this now four weeks in a row of reruns? Your killing me here...
This is why NBC is taking a HUGE risk with airing all comedies on this night...Comcast can't take over NBC soon enough to straighten out this chaotic mess caused by the previous management.
