If only Shonda Rhimes made a show about football… Isn’t that what this week’s Nielsen Twitter TV Ratings demonstrate? Sports is calculated separately from scripted series and live events, but that didn’t preclude NBC’s ‘NFL Honors’ – in which awards like MVP and Defensive Player of the Year are distributed – from taking the top spot on this week’s chart; 190,000 tweets reached a unique audience of 5.1 million people. ABC rounds out the rest of the Top 5 with ‘The Bachelor’ and the one-two-three punch that is Shondaland. I think it’s time we take #TGIT seriously (although for those who indulge in 90’s nostalgia, nothing will beat the hashtag-less TGIF).
