Scandal is on its way to becoming a phenomenon. ABC: With the season finale still to come, last night’s SCANDAL set a series record 3.2. That was up an incredible 0.6 from last week, up 0.3 from its lead-in, and towers over anything else airing at 10PM on network TV. For its part, GREY’S […]

Football gave Almost Human a strong start last night. FOX: The network carefully set its preview of ALMOST HUMAN for a Sunday night where FOX had the late NFL game, and the result was a solid 3.1 for the pilot. Of course, tonight’s regular timeslot premiere will be a very different animal, but there’s […]
