I agree with some posters about the cyclical audience (I have only been a live viewer for the last 3 seasons, but have seen the old episodes on Netflix). I also have a tendency to mis-estimate finale jumps. I am going to go 4.8 for the whole hour, so UNDER, but that is more optimistic than I was even this afternoon. I will say that the 8:30 half hour could go in the 5.0-5.2 range, nearing a series high if it is counted separately.<br /><br />But, Under at a 4.8 for the hourSpothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-45844747898569105662014-03-31T21:08:55.707-04:002014-03-31T21:08:55.707-04:00I don't think it'll have the juice.

So I don't expect it leaping over 5.0, but I think it could be close to it, meaning I expect 4.7 or 4.8. Then under, but obviously am not very confident in it.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.com
