The showrunner that is Shonda Rhimes continues to give ‘ABC’ cause to worship the creative ground she walks on this week, after three of her TV shows took the network to record breaking highs last night.
Watching the latest episode of her hit series ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ pull in 8.3 million viewers, it wasn’t long before the network learned that its younger sister ‘Scandal’ had captured the gaze of 10 million TV lovers while the thrilling ‘How To Get Away With Murder’ showed up the party with a record breaking 9.8 million.
‘Entertainment Weekly‘ reports:
ABC points out the network won all four Thursdays in the adult demo during the November “sweeps” period—which hasn’t happened for the ABC in at least 23 years. The block was also up 20 percent over last year.
Why do you think Rhimes’ series’ are so successful?
QUEEN!
diversity.
its the only shows on tv with black actors whose storyline isnt about its characters being black. especially scandal and htgawm. Race isnt a factor with rhimes the storyline is what matters.
and like chris rock says, for scandal, every thursday america has a white president again, they tune in for normalcy
HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER simply slays, it’s twisted, sick, s***, not way tooo dramatic, and downright captivating. The finale had me on the edge of my seat, and I just stood up when Annalise said “don’t be” sitting on that chair. It’s just brilliant.
Love Scandal!!! How To Get Away With Murder is really good too!! Shonda Rhimes is doing her thing!!
THE REAL MVP!!!
Because they are mesmerizing.
