Home Television Greys Anatomy Ratings Drop to Lowest Ever, Down 16% from Last Week,...

Meredith woke up just in time to say goodbye to two cast members on Greys Anatomy last night.

The result was a nearly 16% drop in the key age group and 11% in overall audience. The fans tuned out.

Last nights episode was the lowest rated ever, just 4.4 million, down from 4.925 million last week. The demo was down 15.77% and the audience was off 10.66 million.

Thats a steep drop. And there are still two more episodes left. The show can go lower.

Renewed for another season, Greys has so far let three actors go this season. With two more episodes, there are undoubtedly more surprises. With budget cuts and lower ratings, Greys is headed toward being just about Meredith Grey whose house, Im paraphrasing, was last night described as smelling like hot cocoa and newborn puppies. Or cotton candy and death.

EP Krista Vernoff, who just saw ABC cut her off at the knees by cancelling Rebel for no reason, says in finale on June 2 well see Merediths new role at the hospital. Her title will be Empress. Jo Wilson, played by Camilla Luddington, is going to make a life changing decision. Luddington may be headed to the unemployment line to join the others.

Should be fun!
