Talk about “how to get away with low numbers”. HTGAWM still can’t catch a break after so much disappointment. Hasn’t been the same for The Player as well if it doesn’t hold up week in and week out. Is it just me or is Blindspot better than The Player?

Nope not just you. I like Blindspot more. The only thing holding my interest in The Player is the mystery surrounding the wife. Other than that it’s kinda boring.

It truly is more about no one watching network TV. Even though all of ABC’s shows declined ast night, they are still far and away the best numbers of any of the networks.

i think any network would be happy if their show is still getting 2.1s

It’s so sad to see HTGAWM continue to drop. It’s better this season than it’s ever been.

Can’t agree with you. HTGAWM was better in season one. This season it has become clear that Viola Davis is the only reason to watch the show. The storylines are all over the place and the new mystery about the siblings is boring. Whatever happened to the “who killed Lila” and “who killed Sam” stories? The viewers know who did the deeds (and who killed Rebecca as well), but nothing is progressing with those storylines. Instead the writers want us to get invested in a new storyline about possibly incestuous siblings who may have killed their billionaire parents. I like some of the supporting characters, and the show is entertaining (although from a legal perspective it is still laughable the way cases are presented and all lawyers are portrayed as being liars and cheats), but I’m only watching because Viola is holding this thing together. She could submit any of the first three episodes for next year’s Emmy nominations and probably win again! I’m not surprised the ratings are falling each week.

It’s one thing to tell a story with unlikable, flawed characters, but the ones in HTGAWM are downright awful, undeserving of sympathy.

Viola Davis’s character is so compelling, but everyone else on that show is just a horrible human being I wish would rot in prison. Makes every scene without her completely unwatchable.

To me that’s the appeal of the show. No favorites, they’re all the same rotten devils and if one dies, well…..Buh bye. Hahaha!

Except Viola’s character of course. Without her there would be no show.

I don’t understand the drop for HTGAWM. It is such a solid show. This episode wasn’t my favourite but it wasn’t so bad that I turned off my TV.

With the return of poppa Pope I feel my days of watching Scandal are numbered, Too bad about murder the story this season has been pretty good

Maybe this bodes well for Elementary when it comes back but I fear it is just no one watching network shows now, at least live

Last night was not the best episode, in fact the first 3 episode have been average to me. Not bad but not great. HTGAWM needs to be carful with the sex,. I felt like last night the sex scenes were throw in at the last minute. If the show relies to heavy on that in the long run it will fail. Last night just seem like a repeat of season 1 in story telling. I still love viola davis.

HTGAWM needs to make the courtroom scenes slightly more realistic. Not a documentary obviously, but lawyer shows are so common that there’s an expectation level.

I feel bad for Philip Winchester/Charity Wakefield/Wesley Snipes but they got dealt a bad hand.

This is a sad that ALL these show’s ratings drops sharply.2015 is the year of low ratings in broadcast networks.The Nielsens ratings kill these shows and then ended up canceled.Is the end of an era for traditional TV ratings.Just Saying

At least HTGAWM still won its timeslot but I’ll admit it’s a troubling trend for the show. I hope they don’t cancel it!

Seems the numbers are dropping on every front. Just the way people watch TV now. Really have to see what the DVR numbers add. I hope after Thursday Football the numbers go up too. I think HTGAWM is still great this season. Love the twists.

I thought HTGAWM was really great last night…i feel like it’s as tense and taut as it was the first season, something I wish was true of Empire, for example.
