Thursday night–
“Grey’s Anatomy” was recently renewed for a 21st season. But so far this season has been a ratings flop.
Last night, “Greys” was crushed as usual by “Law & Order SVU.” The former show is stuck around 3.2 million viewers and falling. Next season should be the last unless Patrick Dempsey’s twin brother arrives in town.
The big Thursday hit now is CBS’s “So Help Me Todd.” This is one of those unchallenging CBS shows that could run for years if it’s handled right. No one you know will watch it. Who cares? The star is Marcia Gay Harden, an Oscar winner who brings prestige to the network. I can watch her with the sound off.
The big loser last night was Chris Meloni’s “Organized Crime.” The story of Elliot Stabler is over. Move him to guest shots on “SVU.” Meloni’s show has under 3 million viewers. I wish I knew what happened here. It’s never had a reason for being. But it has one for being canceled — no one watches it.
