It's an unusually quiet day here at TBA's main headquarters and I've been sitting on some information for a while now so I figured it was a good time to share.
1 The Big Bang Theory (CBS) 13.3 mil
2 The Big Bang Theory-8:30 (CBS) 12.0 mil
3 The X Factor (FOX) 10.8 mil
4 Grey's Anatomy (ABC) 9.7 mil
5 The Office (NBC) 6.1 mil
6 Person of Interest (CBS) 11.9 mil
7 The Mentalist (CBS) 12.3 mil
8 Private Practice (ABC) 6.7 mil
9 Parks and Recreation (NBC) 4.0 mil
10 Whitney (NBC) 4.2 mil
These stats were pulled from Variety and they represent viewership on the Thursday that the cast of "Community" won television with a six sided die and the song Roxanne. But do you see "Community" on this list? Of course not. "The Big Bang Theory" is up there for two different showings and apparently there are 9.7 million sad middle aged women who like to drink a box of Franzia with their 45 cats and rub one out to McDreamy on "Grey's Anatomy". But still no "Community".
Allow me to put this in a different light. Let's say you had 20 friends that all sat down to watch TV on Thursday night. At least 13.3 of them deserve to be shot.
The only bright spots in this chart are "The Office" which will probably always do well because of Steve Carell even if he is gone and "Parks and Recreation".
On a side note, how effing good is "Parks and Recreation"? It probably doesn't get the coverage it deserves here because it doesn't have enough Alison Brie, but its a smart show with a brilliant cast. Seriously, I challenge you to find an unfunny cast member. As opinionated as I am I honestly don't think I can pick a favorite character. I'm kidding of course, it's Ron Swanson, I'm not a communist.
