Don’t Trust the B—- may be cancelled, but there’s never-before-seen episodes that are now available online. ABC has put eight unaired episodes onto ABC.com.

One of the epiosdes, which was originally planned to run as the show’s second season finale before ABC axed the comedy, is a flashback episode chronicling Chloe’s bitch-origin story.  Titled “Original Bitch,” the episode goes back 10 years ago to when Chloe (Krysten Ritter) first moved into Apt. 23 and met a roommate named Trish, who took “Chloe under her wing and [taught] her everything she knew about bitch-itude.” Richard Dean Anderson (MacGyver!) guest stars.

Though Ritter’s pilot Assistance wasn’t picked up, James Van Der Beek’s new project Friends With Better Lives is expected to air midesason on CBS.

UPDATED: Thursday night had eight broadcast season finales.

But the one most people are talking about is NBC’s The Office, even if only because the episode brought the comedy series to a close.

Since The Office finale aired for 75 minutes, these early numbers are approximate (Nielsen’s first-round numbers only measure in half-hour blocks). But even with the final 15 minutes omitted, The Office clearly surged: At least 5.4 million viewers tuned in and the show delivered a minimum of a 2.9 rating among adults 18-49. That’s easily a season high for the show; its best performance in 16 months (the season premiere was a 2.1 rating, to give you some idea of the context of this number).

Over on Fox, American Idol finished the season like you might expect: Down, down, down.

Idol had 14.3 million viewers and a 3.6 rating, according to Nielsen’s final overnight numbers. That’s off a steep 44 percent from last year. This is by far the lowest rated Idol finale ever — the previous finale low was last year’s 6.4. Compare both those numbers to the Idol finale two years ago, which scored a 9.2 rating.

Fox points out that last week’s finale ended on a Wednesday against weaker competition — and again, the show is 12 years old — but there’s no doubt the competition series has endured a beating this year. READ FULL STORY »

It’s been a tough few weeks for Jo on Grey’s Anatomy. A tough season, really. And as the powerhouse drama cruises toward its season finale tonight, look for things to stay just as intense for the first-year doc as she and the rest of the gang at Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital fight to keep the hospital afloat as a super storm barrels down on them.

“There are issues with the equipment [because of the storm] so they’re actually having to use some the techniques they taught the Syrian doctors a few episodes ago,” Camilla Luddington teases of the chaos at the hospital, caused by a blackout.

Meanwhile, personal drama looms on over the medical teams as well. Over in pediatrics, Jo and Alex, who at the end of last week’s episode were engaged in a passion-fueled conversation that was eventually interrupted by a falling tree, are forced to put aside their ongoing romantic drama in order to help out. And Luddington says that though they are “oblivious” to what went down between Arizona and Lauren (Hilarie Burton) in last week’s episode, “that tension is there in pediatrics as well,” she says.
