And a pigskin-less Friday gave CBS free reign, as usual, with Ghost Whisperer (10.6 million) and Numb3rs (10.1 million).

Melissa George Out of "Grey's Anatomy" Melissa-George.jpg During last night's post-Golden Globes coverage, Melissa George seemed all smiles when asked about "Grey's Anatomy" -- very tight-lipped smiles.

Television Without Pity - All Blogs —
... Personally I've been over here humming the tune of "Ding, Dong, The Witch Is Dead" in my head since I read the news that pseudo-lesbian Sadie was checking out of Seattle Grace after a very short stint on the show. That Ausiello knows how to make a girl happy. OK, well Melissa George probably isn't particularly happy about it (even if it was her choice), but I sure as heck am. I realize I've been biased against her character, long before Hahn's unceremonious ouster and long before she ever showed up looking for her pal "death," because I really don't like Melissa George as ...
