(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
… I’m looking … if you have anything, let me know … Alright, that’s unfair. After all, The Big Bang Theory was a very nice surprise this season, so not only bringing it on but giving it a real chance and - of course - renewing it for a second season was probably CBS’ highlight this season.

With a little help from a royal family, ABC won the night in total viewers, being the only network to average over 10 million viewers overnight (11.2 million). On the demo it wasn’t as easy, and both ABC and Fox tied on the first place with 3.1
So at least you got that, for its two-hour “season finale”, or just the last two completed episodes of the season, Terminator was able to put Fox on the first spot on the 18-49 demo. After a season low last weak going way below the 8 million viewers (7.1 million), this week it was back up around 8 million and with a 3.1 on the demo, some good results overall.

* First off, apologies for the lack of Breaking Bad mention today, things got messed up and I don’t have it. Haven’t seen it yet, I’m sad, it really hurts inside, I hope to see it very soon though and I’ll review it then…
* To get me thinking of something else, tonight is a big night for all sci-fi lovers out there, and a sad one at the same time. Starting one hour earlier than usual, at 8.00 on Fox they’re back in a new episode… Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles !
* Not only one, but two, two episodes ! The two last episodes of the season back-to-back tonight, for a season finale coming in sooner than expected (due to the writers’ strike), but I’m sure it’ll be great, and Fox better renew this show for a second season cause we’ll be pissed if the don’t, am I right!?
* In other news, at 8.30 CBS is still trying with a new Welcome To The Captain ; and after a break for a rerun, at 9.30 comes a new episode of New Adventures Of Old Christine
* 9.30 is also time for a new In Treatment on HBO. Mondays are Laura’s sessions, I wonder how & “why” she’ll come back…
* Also, at 10.00 on ABC your have a new October Road while on NBC you have a new Medium

For another night ABC took the night, this time thanks to movie A Raisin In The Sun averaging close to 13 million. Meanwhile, with the help of the most-watched program of the night, Deal Or No Deal (15.3 million), NBC was able to take the second place both in total viewers and on the 18-49 demo.
At 8.00 as mentioned Deal Or No Deal was clear winner, followed by ABC’s movie and almost 12 million on ABC. As expected, and despite its lead-in gaining viewers, Welcome To The Captain kept loosing some, down to 5.3 million viewers only. Not as bad as I expected it to be actually…

Clearly, they don’t. And I have to say I’m a little pissed right now, because I just read about the latest project CBS invested in.
Following the path opened by NBC during the strike, when they announced that they would air Quarterlife, The Eye recently handed out a script commitment to a new sitcom project, which will be an adaptation of a “web series” called We Need Girlfriends.
I’m not sure why they did, really, because it’s really not funny. And that’s a real problem, you know, for a sitcom. But you’ll be able to see & judge for yourself, there’s a video included.

With a real strong Deal Or No Deal watched by almost 17 million people (and a 5.2 on the 18-49 demo), NBC was a clear winner of the night. Somehow all its reruns didn’t prevent, or helped even, the Eye to beat Fox in total viewers, but of course Fox performed stronger on the demo.
At 8.00 was the season finale of this pretty awful third season of Prison Break, maybe even the series finale, and it was only watched by 7.4 million fans, half a million less than last week. Still it’s about the average for this season anyway, and with a 3.1 on the demo nothing says Fox has buried the show already.
New “comedy” Welcome to The Captain is already in trouble, which isn’t surprising since the show isn’t funny. After a premiere followed by 8.1 million people two weeks ago, the show only drew 5.5 million viewers back last night. And I wouldn’t be surprised if this was only the beginning of the fall…

* Couple of good stuff to watch tonight.
* I’m a little ashamed to say it, but I’m kinda excited about the new Prison Break (at 8.00 on Fox) tonight. Sure, there’s plenty of problems and stuff that don’t really work, but we’re used to it now. But they finally broke out of Sona, things are finally moving on, it’s like watching the show again, and not some stupid boring crap where nothing ever happens. Too bad this is the last episode completed before the strike, so… season finale? series finale? who knows?!
* Should I even mention the new Welcome To The Captain at 8.30 on CBS ? How come this hasn’t been canceled already, it should never have been put on the air to begin with…
* At 9.00 the big plate, on Fox : Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Flawed, but cool. Can’t wait to see what’s coming next…
* At 9.30 CBS has a new episode of New Adventures Of Old Christine, still haven’t checked this show out, and it still hasn’t been renewed.
* Same time but on HBO, Laura is back for a new In Treatment !
* At 10.00 on ABC October Road continues to slowly die, and a new Medium show up on NBC

Seriously, WTF!??
CBS announced that it is already renewing 11 series for a new season, 9 dramas and 2 comedies. There’s some old ones you knew would be renewed, and one freshman that got a second season, but more importantly is that there is some huge problem with that list : some series aren’t on there, like no other that the great sitcom How I Met Your Mother !!
No, it does NOT mean it’s been canceled, just that it hasn’t yet been renewed, but still, WTF!? It’s one of the best sitcoms out there, it’s great, it’s funny, it’s just awesome, and there’s no question that it has to come back for more !
List of renewed series below.

After a little weakness last week, Prison Break is back to its usual score, which ain’t that good but that’s the lame season 3 we’re talking about, so 7.9 million viewers us still pretty impressive if you ask me. Meanwhile on CBS the second episode of Welcome To The Captain showed first signs of weakness already, since the show wasn’t even able to keep all viewers from its lead-in, a rerun of How I Met Your Mother (7.2 million) and lost one million viewers since its pilot last week, down at 7.1 million viewers.
At 9.00 Terminator lost about 600 000 viewers since last week, but is still holding over 8 million viewers (8.3 million), doing good in the 18-49 demo (3.5) and growing over its lead-in, so it’s not bad. On CBS at 9.30 came a new episode of New Adventures Of Old Christine, and it was a success with 600 000 more viewers since last week (9.9 million viewers).
