Women’s Murder Club wasn’t on ABC schedule anymore, but they still have three more episodes left in the can. The Alphabet has finally set a return date for the show, and it will return on April 29 (Tuesday) at 10.00
Prior to that, the slot belonged to Boston Legal - returning April 8 with 6 new episodes, so the legal drama has been bumped and will move to Wednesdays at 10.00 starting the next day, April 30.

On Sunday not one but two network averaged around 10 million viewers. Of course there was a time they would all be above 10 million viewers on a Sunday night, so did many programs, some reaching about twice as much (Desperate Housewives), but in those post-strike days filled with reruns and reality TV, things aren’t that bright. And for both CBS and ABC to average 10 million viewers is a big deal.
Although I’m sure it’ll be something else in about two weeks, when Desperate Housewives will be coming back !

Nothing completely official yet, but many sources are talking already, and we’re getting an idea of what NBC schedule might look like for the upcoming season.
A few series have already received a new season order or will very soon, like The Office, 30 Rock, My Name Is Earl, Law & Order, E.R. or Heroes, including newcomers such as Life or Chuck. After many rumors and expectations from fans, NBC is also expected to bring back Friday Night Lights for another season.

(S01E06) Last night was only the sixth episode of new sitcom Unhitched, but with the strike and all, it was already the season finale. For sure that was a really brief season, and sadly it never did do so well so it could very well turn out to be a series finale as well. No official word yet from Fox on whether the show has been canceled or renewed, but the odds are more for the former sadly.
Anyhow, this was the last episode for this season at least, and while the show is still flawed in every way it has been ever since the very first episode, after watching this episode I would say that this was probably the funniest episode of all. I won’t say the best, because it is highly flawed and it prevents me from really having a good time for the full half hour, but I laughed a few times, for sure.

(S01E03) I was clearly not impressed with the two first episodes of this new series, and obviously I wasn’t alone given the poor ratings it has received, so much that Fox didn’t wait and already moved it to this dead Friday. If it’s a sign of anything, it is that they intend to cancel the show very soon.
Still, for some reason I decided to tune in one last time and see whether or not this show could become something better, before Friday starts getting a little better as soon as next week, when a couple of shows will be back on CBS. So over the week-end I sat down and watched the latest episode in date of Julianna Margulies’ latest show…

Friday night, not much on, not much to say. NBC won the night but CBS was really close, and if you like Canterbury’s Law you better start forgetting about it…
At 8.00 Fox could be happy to have replaced The Return Of Jezebel James with a rerun of Bones, since it performed much better : 2 million more viewers, putting the network second, and not last, on that timeslot. But it didn’t last…

* Well, tonight there’s even less than there should have been, since The Return Of Jezebel James is no more.
* So there’s nothing before 9.00, and a new episode of Canterbury’s Law, the next show to get canceled by Fox. So watch it while you can! (Or not.)
* And of course, one last time : at 9.30 on HBO there’s a new In Treatment. This isn’t the last episode of the week, but also the season finale - maybe even the series finale. Of course, all patients have already said their goodbyes, and now it’s Paul’s turn I guess…

No new episodes of Lost this week, not for a few weeks, but that doesn’t mean we will just stop obsessing about the show or trying to figure out what the Hell is going on on that mysterious Island. And thinking about the latest episode we saw, Meet Kevin Johnson, and what we learned then, I suddenly found myself asking this question: did we forgot that Ben used to be a mastermind ?
During the end of last season, and the beginning of this new season, Ben appeared in a much different light than he used to before, it looked like he wasn’t the one he used to be, like he was lost. Or was he?
