Wow. This is an all time low for Private Practice. Hopefully Benjamin Bratt's addition to the cast brings in more viewers.
As for Grey's Anatomy, I think it will hold that ratings as an average, as the abortion topic has had a lot of backlash to it and people have stopped watching.

I cannot understand a universe in which Big Bang gets better ratings than Community. How does something like that happen?
Who is watching this new Charlie's Angels? Are they watching it under pain of death?

if you take the ratings from TV by the numbers at least do it right, look how messed up it is. Vampires Diaries first in line ? Grey's the fourth ?
