TVD still the king of the CW then lmao
Scandal wasn’t adjusted down!
Yay for Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal! Grey’s Anatomy only down four tenths versus last year’s penultimate episode, and Scandal built on Grey’s Anatomy in A18-49.
And where are all the people who said Scandal would adjust down? Bloop!
YES SCANDAL
yes! TVD adjusts up again… I can breathe now.
Oh and the fact that Scandal OFFICIALLY beat an episode of Grey’s? Awesome!
TVD, why won’t you die already?!
Go Grey’s and Scandal and ABC for that matter!
go Scandal!
@Nik
Two weeks ago, Scandal had also officially beat an episode of Grey’s… This is the second time Scandal has done such a thing.
Good on 8 season old SPN for matching 4 season old TVD.
I think I need to give Scandal a chance.
TVD’s viewers are higher than the last few episodes with 1.0′s, know it doesn’t matter but perhaps it was closer to a 1.1 than a 0.9 if you know what I mean
Yay for TVD!
Not bad for Two And a Half Men – it ended being the #2 comedy on television this season.
TVD did it again! 4 weeks running! Really hope it goes up for the season finale next week.
This is why I didn’t understand all the SPN fans shouting about SPN being the number 1 show on the CW this week on the prelim post. TVD had adjusted up from a 0.9 3 weeks in a row, there was a pretty decent chance it was going to do it again. I personally would have waited for the finals before celebrating, knowing TVD’s history of upward adjustments. This isn’t a dig btw, I’m an SPN fan too – I was just confused why fans would celebrate about being ‘the number 1 show of the week’ when the CW’s number 1 show on the network, which had adjusted up from a 0.9 to a 1.0 for the past 3 weeks in a row, hadn’t released it’s final numbers yet.
Also, instead of Scandal beating Grey’s Anatomy by three tenths, it only topped it by one tenth. I hope they can both rise to mid-high 3′s for their finales.
People celebrating TVD, like it hit a series high or a season high lol.
DAMN, AT SCANDAL! Now that’s something to celebrate.
TVD did it again!!! No adjustment for Hannibal? That makes me sad. Glad Elemenatry was adjusted up though. SPN has moved into the number 2 spot…still good after 8 years…here’s to 8 more.
