Viola

I thought it was really cool. I was so pleasantly surprised to see Alfred Enoch from Harry Potter front and center in this! How far he has come...much congrats to him!!! He shined.

LOL. I'm glad Grandpa Nate from OLTL is also still getting some work. I always liked him.

At first I was so happy to see Matt McGorry from "Orange Is The New Black" but I quickly became irritated. I found him grating in this. He's just not funny to me. I cringed @ all times during his scenes

Viola is simply just THE BOSS!!

Truth on Matt. I was like cool out dude.

I actually enjoyed it last night. Quite surprised I did.

The body in the rug was definitely Keating's husband....they told us that.

Yep! At the end of the eppy they showed his face in the body bag, so I can't wait to see how this unfolds. Really good set up for the season.

It was sooo good. My friends and I are hooked. But I don't know if I like the murder mystery aspect of it...especially if it leads to one of the students being sent to jail and no longer on the show. By far I like the white guy who was chosen first the most....

Viola Davis was good and not as campy as I thought her character would come across (given the promos).

Ratings for last night show and the rest for ABC.....HH rating not out yet but as you can see a big boom for ABC....

GREY'S: 3.0 A18-49/9.8M

SCANDAL: 3.8 A18-49/11.9M

HTGAM: 3.8 A18-49/14M

DAMN! 14mil!

Even GREY'S, in its 27th season, with 9.8!

Among adult women under 50, SCANDAL premiere did a 6.0 rating, beating the combined demo score in that hour for CBS/NBC/Fox. So ABC was dominated by women while CBS by men

CBS had a 10.7 HH rating for the night while ABC had an 8.4 HH for night while NBC and FOX were far behind in 3rd and 4th.

LOL at the haters who thought a non-traditional looking dark skinned black woman couldn't lead a primetime drama to success.

FYI: In the top 25 markets, Scandal and HTGAWM got a 4.4, while GA got a 3.2.

That's wonderful! 'Member you were saying it was going to fail because of TNF ;-) So glad that wasn't the case! Get it Shonda.

LOL. Yes, he must tone it down!
