You know, the party over at “Grey’s Anatomy” is over.
Last night’s ratings were the lowest of all time, and the lowest of this 19th season.
There were two episodes last night. The first one had 3.255 million viewers– low but not the worst. Whatever happened, however, didn’t retain the audience. The 10pm show fell 12% to 2.857 million. Most shows would be cancelled.
“Grey’s” lost another long time actor last night. Plus, its nominal star, Ellen Pompeo, is gone. They kill off characters left and right to stay within their dwindling budget. The long time showrunner, Krista Vernoff, is exiting at the end of this season.
My guess is, next season, number 20, will be the wrap up.
Even worse: The “Grey’s” spin off, “Station 19,” preceded it at 8pm with 3.76 million viewers. “Grey’s” couldn’t hold its lead in audience.
What to do? Next fall have Patrick Dempsey return as his old character’s lookalike cousin, McDoozy.
