[QUOTE="tommie, post: 73086, member: 370"] Grey's is by far the most stable show in the TGIT block. Both Scandal and HTGAWM have suffered huge falls, while Grey's has remained somewhat stable. Add that Shonda isn't shy of killing off long-term characters on Greys - that helps bring the cost down considerably. One of the big reasons why tv shows get cancelled despite decent-ish ratings is because they can't figure out a way to continue the shows without main actors, so they just opt to end them. Desperate Housewives is a good example of this - it had okay ratings in the final season, but despite contracting the cast for another season they opted to end it early because they couldn't make the financials work.
