Grey's also won its hour in Total Viewers, Adults 18-34 and Adults 25-54.

Grey's is the 2013-14 season's #1 broadcast drama in Adults 18-49 and Adults 18-34.

Black Box (10-11pm - 4.4 million and 1.1/3 in AD18-49): In the 10pm hour, ABC's Black Box beat the final hour of NBC's American Comedy Awards by 1.2 million viewers (4.4 million vs. 3.2 million) and by 10% in Adults 18-49 (1.1/3 vs. 1.0/3).
