Spring continues to cause havoc for the television ratings. The big story on cable remains ‘Game Of Thrones’, despite a host of Showtime premieres. On the networks, imagine a repeat finishing #1 at 9 on Thursday against all new competition…
An animation heavy week of releases includes ‘Bob’s Burgers’, ‘American Dad’, ‘Ben 10′, ‘Conan’, ‘Super Hero Squad Show’, ‘Young Justice’, ‘Treme’, ‘Meet The Browns’, ‘Murdoch’, ‘Frozen Planet’, ‘Eight Is Enough’, ‘Ernie Kovacs’, and ‘Man VS Wild’.
Things are very good for the denizens of Westeros. HBO’s ‘Game Of Thrones’ returned for season two at series high levels. The news wasn’t so good for the other big cable premiere for the week, ‘The Killing’. That was was down from the end of the first season.
The big story last week was the premiere of ‘Mad Men’, which returned from an extended hiatus to record viewing levels. Over on the networks, week two of ‘Touch’ raises some questions and the prospects for ‘Community’ continue to improve.
Releases for next Tuesday include ‘Nip/Tuck’, ‘Torchwood’, ‘Misfits’, ‘Masterpiece’, ‘Commander’, ‘Bob’, ‘Fresh Prince’, ‘3rd Rock’, ‘That ’70s Show’, ‘Roseanna’, ‘Three Stooges’, ‘Eagleheart’, ‘Elmo’, ‘Danny Phantom’, ‘Jonny Quest’, and ‘Black Butler’.
ABC and FOX had big premieres for ‘Dancing With The Stars’ and ‘Touch’ last week, but both were overshadowed by the crazy numbers AMC brought in with the season finale of ‘The Walking Dead’.
Next Tuesday will bring new sets from ‘South Park’, ‘Eureka’, ‘I, Claudius’, ‘Murder Investigation Team’, ‘Single-Handed’, ‘East West 101′, ‘James May’s Man Lab’, ‘Northern Exposure’, ‘MST3K’, and ‘CatDog’.
