I think that that might be a season high for Vampire Diaries.
Not so good, though, for a series finale.
Gosh no, but just pointing it out…seems like finales do boost even if a minute amount.
Dare I say “Good for CW”? 😉 🙁
It is. Hard to believe this show’s series premiere was a 2.8 Demo with 4.5 million viewers.
Wow, I sure didn’t remember it being that high. I knew that it was quite popular in its early days but that is pretty amazing.
On a different note, I realized last night that crossovers do not work for everyone. I usually watch MacGyver but did not because I do not watch H5O and had no desire to do so. I wonder if others drop out of crossovers for that reason.
Correction: 4.91 million viewers. Yep. The show didn’t start to be below 2 million viewers until season 6 consistency. Ironically that’s when the show started to become really bad

Vampire Diaries has a season high . . . which is sad. This show’s very first episode drew 2.8 in the demo and 4.5 million viewers. Hard to believe. It is filmed in my town. I have to wonder if any will go over to the spinoff The Originals which is filmed in the town over. I Haven’t seen the finale yet. I am seeing mixed to positive reviews online. I have always found the Originals the superior show in content.
Loved Grimm last night. A story about Alzheimer with wesen. Very sad. Three episodes left!
I wonder if ABC will keep the LMS/Dr. Ken duo or pair LMS with the Carol Burnett Multi cam ? Probably the latter.
Yes, I am guessing that Dr. Ken is a goner.
It certainly should be.
I wonder if this will be The Originals last season I hope it has many more years left for the show. I thought that Vampire Diaries was a bitter sweet ending I enjoyed the finale which The CW will be re-airing on THUR.
With apologies, while the title is technically true, the crossover didn’t increase viewership of either series.
