Why in the world did ABC air a new episode of Happy Endings when the rest of their lineup was in repeats? Are they trying to sabotage their second highest rated (in demos) comedy? Makes no sense.

Wow at Harry's Law at over 9 million viewers with such low demos. Old people sure love the show. I wonder if NBC will disrgard the low demos and renew the show based on the total viewers. I watch the show, so I hope they will.

[wingwalker]

I agree. Even though demos rule all, Harry's Law is the only scripted show on NBC that can pull 10+ million viewers and IMO, what NBC needs most of all is more eyeballs watching their shows. That's partially the secret to CBS's success, nearly all their shows can pull 10+ million viewers even if the demo isn't the best.
