Did you see the ratings for Monday night? House aired in its new slot, 8pm, and it brutally slaughtered Gossip Girl. It was a real massacre, blood, gore and all. Just take a look:
House: 14.87 mil., 5.5/14 demo (Adults 18-49)
Gossip Girl: 2.20 mil., 1.1/3 demo
Yes, it was a new episode. Ouch for the CW! GoGi should be their flag ship, their teenie hit show... and it gets lower ratings, viewers and demo, than Supernatural. And it even dropped in the second half-hour (more than 150 thousand viewers, too!). I mean, I know that it went up against House, that's true, but I wonder if they look the same way at SPN vs. CSI... And they want to make a spin-off ot this? For real?

Just one more year, CW, hang on one more year and then we'll never have to see each other again.
