Although Scandal and Murder have seen significant declines in their numbers this season, the dramas are still steady performers and have huge social media followings, trending on Twitter every Thursday night. The two Shonda Rhimes-produced shows have become magnets for the network. Plus, both boast big star-power in Kerry Washington and Viola Davis, who won the Emmy this past year for her work on the show, becoming the first black woman to walk away with the best drama actress statue.

Greys, on the other hand, has sustained a huge audience with the largest viewership of all three TGIT shows an impressive feat for a series in its 12th season. Following the shocking death of Patrick Dempseys Derek Shepherd in Season 11, the long-running medical drama has seemed to experience a creative surge, finding new life with compelling storylines that some critics say are better than ever.

Shondalands fourth drama on the schedule, The Catch, premieres March 24 on ABC, taking place of HTGAWM when it ends its sophomore run.
