A big week of releases includes ‘Supernatural’, ‘Big Bang Theory’, ‘Glee’, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’, ‘It’s Always Sunny’, ‘Rescue Me’, ‘Outsourced’, ‘Sanctuary’, ‘Spartacus’, ‘Inspector Lewis’, ‘Camelot’, ‘Blue Bloods’, ‘Blue Mountain State’, ‘Doctor Who’, ‘Private Practice’, and much more.
While new series may have had a rough go of it this past season, I for one enjoyed the recently concluded year of television. Here’s what my TV Thursdays looked like during the 2010-2011 season.
As we are on the eve of upfronts, news of cancellations and renewals is flying in. This week we take a look at the fates of some of those bubble shows, and ponder what Ashton Kutcher replacing Charlie Sheen on ‘Two and a Half Men’ means for the CBS Monday.
Overall, the first full week of sweeps was a bit slow. The big surprise came as NBC’s ‘The Voice’ managed to improve on what was an outstanding debut the week before. Over on cable, can you imagine ‘L&O CI’ on USA beating new ‘L&O LA’ on NBC?
The decided lack of new ‘Two and a Half Men’ episodes is starting to really show in the ratings for the other Monday comedies at CBS. Over on cable, ‘Deadliest Catch’ is back, and much bigger than Norm.
The NCAA scored for CBS, and then the CIA bombed for them. Over on cable, AMC released ‘The Killing’ to a modest premiere audience, but I’m more interested in what the numbers for the ‘Game of Thrones’ preview might mean.
The big news this week was a 22 episode renewal for ‘Fringe’. If you follow the ratings, that probably comes as a bit of a shock. What could FOX have up its sleeve? My best guess, they are going to finally actually try on Friday, and move ‘Bones’ to join ‘Fringe’.
