'Grey's Anatomy': The arc ends: a fistfight and god talk
It Happened Last Night — ...

Thursday TV ratings battles aren't so pitched anymore
From Inside the Box — ... and Grey's Anatomy , which wage their weekly battle at 9 p.m. ( CSI typically draws a bigger overall audience while Grey's does better in the 18-49 demographic that advertisers love). But at 8? Nothing. Yes, the overnight ratings for network TV are down across the board -- a function of more people having DVRs and more people watching cable or just doing other things.

Is Patrick Dempsey ...
