Fans of Shonda Rhimes have been salivating at the mouth, waiting eagerly for Thursday night. Particularly, “Scandal” and the new kid on the block “How To Get Away With Murder.” Folks couldn’t wait to Tweet their lives away while watching. Between Drunk Mellie mourning the loss of her son prancing around the White House wearing a silk robe, sweat pants and Uggs, Olivia Pope–ahem–I mean “Judith Baker” return to Washington, and Viola Davis playing a cheating law professor, Twitter didn’t know what to do. Here are the 15 best reactions to “Scandal” and “How To Get Away With Murder.”
Wow….Fitz attempted suicide after his sons death … Such mourning in this scene, so beautifully acted by T&B… #TGIT #Scandal

Viola has mastered that look your mama gives when she’s telling a lie and you better not embarrass her.
