ABC’s Thursday night lineup last week should have been a sure-fire winner: all-new episodes of Ugly Betty, Grey’s Anatomy and Lost on the first night of the May sweep. But after a strike-induced hiatus for all three shows – Grey’s and Ugly hit series lows, according to TVWeek.
ABC isn’t alone. Both ER and My Name is Earl scored their lowest original episode ratings ever. The Office slipped 22% Scrubs was off 37% from last week, Fox’s Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader fell 16%. CBS’ CSI even hit its lowest non-Thanksgiving rating ever.
Fluke?
