As for Grey's Anatomy, I place the blame all on Shonda Rhimes. She is known to be stubborn and difficult. The show stinks now and unlike other shows like DH or Lost that had a period of "it's not as good as it used to", even their worst seasons were not as awful as Grey's Anatomy.
While she deserves blame for the state of the show (it stinking) the differ is DH&Lost came back. They didn't stink and keep stinking, they came back, got ratings back. Greys just keeps stinking and blame now needs to go to ABC, why is Shonda Rhimes still running this show?
Though those shows may have rebounded creative-wise, all 3 shows have consistent lost viewers since their earlier seasons; so no, they didn't get their ratings back.
All three shows are aging like programs do. Greys has had a slightly larger decline recently over supposed creative flack. I personally find the recent eps to be 10x better than last year's Gizzie crap. This show has improved 10x since George stopped being a major character. Now if we could only get rid of Izzie permanently and I'd be set!

I know, if JDM wants to play a ghost, then go to SPN, they might not pay him him as much, but at least the cast gets along! And it'd be cool to see papa Winchester!
I don't think that's the problem for GA, the main drop happened last season and there wasn't a ghost anywhere on the show. And i don't think the show is much worse now than it was a couple of season ago. The question is not why only 13 millions watch it now but why were 25 millions watching then
This is actually a legitimate argument. The show is 10x better this year than last year and the year before was nothing to brag about either if you ask me. We've seen better medical storylines this year than in past seasons and aside from the "ghost", which btw, is not a ghost, its right on. Tyne Daly was excellent as a guest star on Thursday.

Do you really think next episode is gonna get below 15 million?
I thought you mean 5 millions less than what the average is for the season. Of course they're gonna lose 5 millions, but that's beacause 5 millions watched it only last night this season. It has nothing in common with Petersen leaving, 19 millions watched CSI a month ago with Petersen in it.

What? I simply stated that the show would dip back to normal levels at least. I would not be one bit surprised to see close to 10 million people leave it but at the same time it could do as well as it has been this season. These characters on CBS crime shows are for the most part very interchangeable. While CSI: Mothership has always been better at character development than its spinoffs and the other crime clones, I have never found the characters to be all that complex. Therefore, I think most of the audience will return next week and for the rest of the season. If Fishbourne or whatever that guy's name is doesn't completely screw it up, the show should at least be able to average 17 million on the season, although I expect Greys to win the remaining weeks in the demo.

What a whimpy prediction on your part. Sure, it will lose 5 million virewers...but you are counting the 5 million that tuned in JUST for this episode. The real question is how many viewers it will lose from a normal episode level.
CSI needs to start stuntcasting to try and draw in new/young viewers. Maybe they could get some hot singing sensation to do a stint on CSI?
DH is consistent. Lost was consistent, ratings are not in on what will occur this season.
GA is obviously doing something wrong and is not better than last year.The ratings are continuously going down. (25M to 18M main drop; now it is 18M to 12M) They are losing viewers on a weekly basis. If it is 10x better than last year why are the ratings sinking?
I don't watch I can't say what they are doing wrong, but from all reports there is nothing good going on at GA. All I hear is backstage unrest and ghosts.
Here's an idea, get rid of the ghost. How long until ABC is forced to move GA from the Thurs 9pm slot?

How is the show isn't going to die off a whimpy prediction? This is CBS. People will watch anything aside from music based stuff (not good news for John Mayer). Perhaps they need to call Britney.

I don't really understand the ratings decline. I'm obviously in the minority, but I have no clue why people watched Gizzie and will not watch these eps. I like the new character additions for this season, especially the military guy. Lil' Grey and Doc Sloan have been enjoyable.
As for moving the show, it could pull 8 million and still be ahead of where ABC was on Thursdays for years. Plus, what to replace it with?

Claiming that CSI has 24 million viewers, so it will drop to 19 million is actually a prediction for no drop in viewers since the reality of CSI is that it is a 19 million viewer show already, not 24 million.
about Supernatural and very disappointing. Really want to see this series stick around another season and it's not looking encouraging for that to happen YIKES !
Don't watch it or care much, but you have to take into account ratings for an entire network when looking at this stuff. Supernatural does well in a troublesome timeslot week in/week out. While it's numbers aren't amazing, they are level by CW standards and thus it would be a real surprise for CW to cancel the show at this point. If anything they'll move it to a new night to try to take advantage of the Smallville lead-in, but it's safe to assume SPN is fairly safe in the grand scheme of things. The show may suck, I don't watch it, but the numbers certainly don't. This particular week it had bad retention, but it's shown legs earlier this year, and CW isn't THAT stupid. It will be back next year.

Yet I keep hearing all this what will happen to CSI business like its a new show next week when in reality, it will still be the same thing.
LOL and it's so annoying too! I find myself watching the award shows and going Oh please not 30 rock again! And it ALWAYS wins! I'll never get it!
I felt the exact same way about Everyone Loves Raymond. I loathed that show and it won everything, all the freaking time.
I agree. Yeah, like the first 2 seasons, when it received a sum total of 0 Emmy nominations, or the third season, when it was nominated for 6 Emmys and won absolutely none of them. It won EVERYTHING. ALL THE FREAKING TIME.

I also saw the third part of the serial killer arc of Grey's Anatomy (airing this coming Thursday, Jan. 22)! It is very well done and action packed. Has some hilarious stuff, too, especially with Sloan. One other note on this episode...this is the end of Denny's run. You'll see how and why he is "appearing."
