In reply to Leo. 0.8 demo and 4.19 mil viewers on the 14th and 0.9 demo and 5.15 mil viewers on the 15th is dangerously below the season's already low average. Compounding the problem is the departure of Paul Lee the driving force at ABC an advocate for Castle and a season 9. Now the weekly ratings take on a major significance. The new head at ABC is coming in with an axe, seeking to eliminate low scoring programs,

In reply to Philo2. In the age of heavy competition / DVRs / CBS offering the Grammys on All Access, I have a feeling they're probably thrilled with a demo rating over a 7.0.

Grammys lowest audience in 9 years, but it “killed it”. Strange.

In reply to georgee. It was a good episode, once you get passed that false separation. I wouldn't give it as high a rating as A but much better than this season average. As for viewers returning that remains to be seen. Episodes 3 thru 8 may have caused irreparable damage.

Last nights episode was pretty good, I would give it a good B rating. If we had no BS separation a A+ . I feel if ABC would have run a few adds for Sundays episode folks would have known it was showing. Over all last nights episode did pretty good against the CMA. The last three episode had a combine ratings of .93 in the 18-49 group and 5.27 million viewers far less than seasons 7 same episodes. Hopefully when this BS separation is over and Kate comes home the fans will to.
