Happy Festivus everyone – Now let me tell you how disappointed I am!
That’s how it goes, every 365 days or so when the year comes to an end, right before Christmas, you turn to your loved ones to tell them how they’ve disappointed you again, as goes the good old tradition of the alternate holiday introduced to us by no other than George’s dad, Frank Costanza.
Now make sure your aluminum pole is ready, and let’s have a look at all the things that disappointed us this year in TV land. And as it turns out, disappointments have been legion!

So what happened on Friday? Well, the usual : CBS found out the key to Friday’s success, reruns, while other network struggle and NBC continues to sink and sink and sink…
CBS opened with Ghost Whisperer, still strong though slightly down, with 11.36 million viewers and a 2.7 on the demo. That led into a rerun of The Mentalist, which proved to be just as good if not better as reruns of NCIS : most watched program of the night with 11.62 million viewers (2.4 on the demo) A strong lead-in for Numb3rs, back to a new high with 11.23 million viewers and a 2.5 on the demo.

ABC has yet to announce its midseason schedule, but we already know a few things.
* Lost season 5 is premiering on Wednesday, January 21st with a two-hour special, and starting January 28th it will lead into Life On Mars. Despite not being a hit in the ratings, ABC seems to like the new drama, and has ordered four more episodes, thus bringing the total order to 17 episodes, and since the show is done for the year it means it will be able to be on for at least 10 weeks.
* Scrubs is finally moving to the Alphabet, premiering on Tuesday, January 6th at 9.00 with two episodes back to back, something that will be repeated the following week with two more episodes from 9.00 to 10.00, after which the show will settle in its 9.00 slot. No word yet on what will be at 9.30 though the new Mike Judge animated comedy, The Goode Family, has been rumored.

Anyone still wondering why NBC is in the toilet ?
This is either quite funny, or sad depressingly sad and pathetic, depending on how you decide to look at things. According to Page Six, NBC Entertainment co-chair Ben Silverman will not only not be blamed for the Peacock’s lackluster fall schedule, but he is putting all the blame on someone else – Universal Media Studio President Katherine Pope – and that works so well that while she might get fired or something, Silverman could get a raise !!
Just how mind-blowing is that ?? The guy is a moron who should get fired for its poor work, because the network’s failing schedule is all on him, but instead he is apparently still praised, as one network insider told Page Six that “the company is very happy with Ben. He is deep in negotiations to re-up his contract with NBC, and he has the network up 50 percent profit from year to year.”
Just shoot me now.

Last night was your typical Friday night, with only notable to fact that instead of a rerun of NCIS it was a special Price Is Right at 9.00 on The Eye, and that wasn’t a success. Also, if Ghost Whisperer is string on its own, Numb3rs can use a solid lead-in…
At 8.00 Ghost Whisperer had a new season high with 11.67 million viewers and a 2.9 on the demo !! Pretty great performance, to bad it got wasted to lead into Price Is Right Salutes The Troops which merely retained 7.31 million viewers, and 1.7 on the demo. Although at 9.00 that was the best performance on the demo…

The 35th Annual People’s Choice Awards Nominees have been announced, and for the most part there’s really not much to say, except that sometimes it feels even more wrong than the Emmys, which is saying a lot considering. Favorite dramas only include the major hits (CSI, Grey’s Anatomy, House) completely missing even the fantastic Lost and its mind-blowing season, not nominated at all.
Just like for comedies are missing the most hilarious sitcoms on the air — that’s right, no mention of 30 Rock, The Office or How I Met Your Mother ! How is that even possible ??
