Whoa… The broadcast networks only managed six new bits of programming last week. So… yeah… not a lot of numbers to talk about. But that doesn’t mean we can’t still have a ratings post.
A short week heading into the new year finds sets from ‘Archer’, ‘Battlestar Galactica’, ‘United States Of Tara’, ‘Peanuts’, ‘River Monsters’, and ‘Jersey Shore’.
As usual, the arrival of the holidays has the network schedules grinding to a halt. That leads to strange things like CBS only having three new hours, and ABC only having two. Or, NBC previewing one of their new shows and having nobody watch it.
A short collection of releases includes ‘Caprica’, ‘Futurama’, ‘Family Guy’, ‘Secret Life of the American Teenager’, ‘The Virginian’, ‘Andy Griffith Show’, ‘Billy The Exterminator’, ‘Once An Eagle’, and ‘Gene Simmons Family Jewels’.
With ‘The Sing Off’ hitting new highs, and ‘The Biggest Loser’ rebounding from what has been a tough fall, NBC took full advantage of the weakened pre-holiday schedule. On cable, ‘Burn Notice’ went out on a high note.
A short week of releases includes ’24’, ‘Army Wives’, ‘The IT Crowd’, ‘Hawaii Five-O’, ‘Leave It To Beaver’, ‘Gunsmoke’, ‘Honeymooners’, ‘Cathouse’, ‘Biography’, ‘State Trooper’, and ‘Coronado 9′.
‘Eureka’ and ‘Warehouse 13′ got in on the holiday episode game last week. How would their numbers compare to what ‘Stargate Universe’ has been able to manage since moving to Tuesday? A similar thing was happening on the networks, as ‘The Sing Off’ stepped in for ‘Chuck’ and ‘The Event’.
