This week’s episode of ‘Stargate Universe’ didn’t live up to the promise of the last couple of weeks, but it was still damn fine television.
NBC had the big news for the week, with the premiere of ‘The Voice’. Over on cable, week two of ‘Game of Thrones’ was right on pace with the premiere, while ‘Sanctuary’ gave ‘SGU’ fans a little more ammo.
If you thought, after last week’s love letter to ‘Stargate Universe,’ that I couldn’t dump anymore praise on the lame duck show, then you were decidedly incorrect.
The final tally is in, and ‘The Paul Reiser Show’ came up just 162 episodes short of the mark he set with ‘Mad About You’. Over on cable, HBO kicked off ‘Game of Thrones’ to a less than spectacular number, but does that even matter?
Many fans of the original ‘Stargate’ shows have criticized ‘Universe’ for not being like its predecessors. But I think ‘SGU’ owes its roots to a different sci-fi franchise.
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.
