Typical Thursday night last night, CBS being the big winner, CSI the most-watched program and Grey’s Anatomy the best performing on the demo. What else is new?
At 8.00 My Name Is Earl was slightly down (-250 000) but in some deeply depressing news, Kath & Kim was up (+400 000) with 5.47 million viewers and a 2.3 on the demo. I don’t know, I don’t get it, I’d rather just pretend I didn’t know. Meanwhile on The CW it looks very impressive for Smallville (4.77 million viewers, 2.0 on the demo) but that’s all because football was aired in a couple of states, so expect final numbers to actually go down.

(S01E07) This episode was the perfect follow-up to last week’s in that it continues the latest trend in this show : getting better. From the start I’ve been feeling like this show had potential to be pretty good, but failed to really deliver on its promise. Something that is actually also quite true about this episode, whose premise I thought was pretty interesting, though not very new.
Alas as the episode went by, I couldn’t help but feel as if it’s not so much that the episode was bad, it is that it could (should) have been better. What’s worse is that the flaws came from Hood more than from anyone else, meaning they’re not going anywhere and need to be addressed. On the other hand, there were many signs of improvement that show we might be on the right path…

(S01E06) Last week I was saying how, despite coming with a potentially exciting and wide open concept, the show had so far failed to deliver even a single episode that really felt strong, and could leave us hopeful that in the future this show could turn into something pretty good. Which is why I was rather happy while watching this episode, as finally we got one !
One pretty good episode that, while certainly not perfect, felt quite stronger and better than the ones before it. I think that this was the best episode so far, and a sign that there might be hope for the show to really find its tone and get better week after week, which could result in something rather interesting.

Last night had CBS winning the night both in viewers (14.55 million) and on the demo (4.1) thanks to an ever well-performing CSI, most-watched program of the night, while ABC came in second (11.24 million viewers, 3.9) with many thanks to Grey’s Anatomy, winner on the demo.
At 8.00 200 000 more viewers where there for Ugly Betty, with 9.20 million and a 2.8 on the demo, while My Name Is Earl finally (almost) reached 7 million viewers (6.99 million), something that hadn’t happen since October 9th ! The show was up, thus making the horrible Kath & Kim look ever worse, as the show only kept 5.08 million viewers on NBC (half a million less than a week ago). I’m sure NBC is happy that picked it up for a full season…

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 ??

Last night even is CSI was down and Grey’s Anatomy up, and even if ABC medical-hit did win the demo, CBS was the big winner of the night. The network came first on viewers (13.75 million) but also on the demo (4.0), mostly because Survivor did much better than ABC’s Ugly Betty (3.9 vs 2.7)
At 8.00 Ugly Betty was actually up and getting close again to 9 million viewers (8.95 million), even if we’re still way below last season’s result (11 million). Meanwhile on NBC finally some good news, as My Name Is Earl was up 400 000 viewers (6.62 million) and, some for unexplainable reason, Kath & Kim was also up, with 100 000 more viewers. Still, 5.57 million viewers and 2.4 (2.7 for Earl) isn’t really good, but then again neither is the show.

(S01E05) Not so long ago I argued that Eleventh Hour was more exciting than Life On Mars, because of the way the show was constructed and the fact that it is incredibly more open to anything, that each episode could look like no other and go into any direction, that there are all sorts of possibilities at our doorstep, unlike with ABC drama with it’s the usual crime of the week of your typical procedural cop-drama - only in 1973.
But as I said then, this show also has a much lower quality level, mostly in the writing, and that is a real problem. The show might be more exiting and with a lot more potential, if none of it is put to good use but wasted on poor writing, it won’t go anywhere and people will eventually go away, to ABC, another network, or away from TV God forbid.
