Well, NBC finally announced part of their schedule for 2009 - part only, because it’s only what to expect for January, nothing yet as what will come after that - and while fans of Friday Night Lights who are waiting for the show to come on NBC will be happy to know they finally have a date to circle on the calendar - that would be be Friday, January 16th - others will probably be sad to see their shows missing.
Do you remember how ratings for shows such as Life or Chuck (to stay on NBC, but the same was true for Pushing Daisies or Eli Stone among others…) were down this season compared to the last ?? Does anyone still doubt that imposing (long) hiatus of shows will hurt them, especially if they’re not major hit likes 24 or Lost ? Don’t anyone remember how it killed Jericho ? Or, yes, Pushing Daisies, Eli Stone, Dirty Sexy Money, or to go back to the Peacock, how it hurt Life or Chuck in their current sophomore seasons ?

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.

(S05E08) We should talk about what The Office is. Much like How I Met Your Mother, this is a great show that has been delivering so much awesome and hilarious episodes with such quality for many years now, that I think most of us have quite high expectations every week, and also we’re not willing to accept from those shows things we would find just fine in other sitcoms.
Because while they’re sitcoms, that is the category they fall under, neither of them are really just that. For once reason or another, they’re outgrow their initial status of “just a sitcom” to become something else, something more, something where having sitcom-esque situations or cartoonish characters isn’t acceptable. And while it might be where the episode went, a little, I have to say I loved it.

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…

(S05E07) Last week we ended the episode with what looked like some (new) tension between Jim and Pam, or possibilities of problems between them. Not so much because Alex was interested in Pam and something could ever happen there, but because of what he said, that this was her dream and if she really wanted to make it there, not to ever regret to take all the chances she could get, she had to stay longer.
It could have been been worrying, especially looking at both Jim and Pam’s faces after that little speech, neither of them willing to say anything, but as I explained than I myself was not worried but our lovely couple and their future, I have all the faith in the world they would make it okay, because writers know what they are dealing with there, and they’ve always managed to not go the obvious way, and they always made things right.

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.

(S05E06) There’s no doubt in my mind that The Office is bringing his A game and delivering one awesome episode after the other. I might not always be happy about what I see happening, like last week when we had to see Holly go, but there’s no question that the episodes are great, hilarious, and all relationships of the show are evolving, whether it’s in way you like or not.
Now that, sadly, Michael is single again, that leaves us with two main relationships, two couples both engaged to get married, though not both of them are showing signs of happiness and excitement over said coming wedding. But what this episode showed us also, is that there was a third player in both case, someone who could be a game changer in the future of both relationship : Dwight Schrute.
