(This week we look back at how each of the main networks handled things this past season, as well as looking at how things are looking up for the coming one. Agree ? Disagree ? Share your thoughts and grade networks in the comments below…)
The Good
Fox wasn’t stupid enough to air only the first quarter of an unfinished season of 24, but decided not to air it until they could really/fully air it. Probably pushed by the strike, but they have also given their chances to new series like New Amsterdam or Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and of course they renewed the later, because we all want more Glaubot!

The new schedule for Fox is now official, and there’s not much to say : canceling everything new but Terminator, their additions are for the most part the two most-awaited (sci-fi) series of the season, JJ Abrams’ Fringe, and Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse - the later being reserved for mid-season.
Being Fox, they don’t really care about the shows or giving an opportunity for viewers to easily remember when they are or create some nice pairs, shows keep moving all over the place between fall and winter schedule, and I’m not sure there’s really any logic there.
Full schedule, recap and reactions after the jump!

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 !

(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.

As I said last week, Sundays aren’t what they used to be, and for a few weeks now there simply isn’t one network that could reach 10 million viewers on average overnight. Sundays used to be a big night for TV, but nowadays they’re barely better than Fridays…
Please note that the NCAA run overtime on CBS, so all numbers for CBS were estimated. (That is, even more than Nielsens’ numbers usually are.)

(S01E05) Another episode in, and I stand by what I said about the previous episode. We had two episodes this week, and this one was episode 5, out of only 6 that were completed before the writers’ strike. That means that next Sunday will be the last completed episode, and last episode of the first season on Unhitched since no new episodes will be added this season.
The numbers haven’t been that good, and for a reason : the show had never been that funny. As I said in my last review, this show had potential at first, but never tried to actually use it and improve, instead they stayed where they were and never even tried to got better. As a result, I’m pretty sure it won’t be renewed and quite frankly I won’t miss it…

(S01E04) We have been having to face with a lot of new sitcoms this season, a lot of very awful and unfunny ones at that. Turns out that making people laugh for about 20 minutes isn’t is easy a task as it looks. And with this new show, as I said yesterday before watching this week’s episodes, I said that - unlike others - this show was actually funny, maybe not always but it had its moments, and it had potential.
I said that before, and now that I’ve seen this new episode suddenly I’m not so sure anymore. It’s not that this episode was particularly bad or anything, it’s more that it wasn’t really good…

* I’m not sure what’s Fox agenda, are they just trying to get ride of the episodes of Unhitched they got left before moving to other things, or ?
* Anyways, First let’s start at 8.00, on The CW, with a new Everybody Hates Chris followed at 8.30 by a new Aliens In America
* And at 8.30 on Fox comes a new Unhitched. After that there’s a rerun (of Family Guy), but stay around cause at 9.30 comes a second episode of Unhitched ! And really, this show still isn’t great, but it is funny and has potential !
* Apart from that, there’s some new Dirt that can be found at 10.00 on FX

There was a time Fox averaged over 10 million viewers on a Sunday night, but that wasn’t enough and only The CW has less viewers. Last night, Fox was down to 5.1 million viewers overnight, but the worries isn’t really for Fox only, because ABC may have won the night, it still wasn’t able to do better than 9.0 million viewers overnight !
I guess those morons now have their answers now, yes the writers’ strike can have an impact, yes many viewers will be driven away from the screens. 20 million of them aren’t watching TV on a Sunday night anymore, and who’s to say they will all be back once the reruns will be over ?
