There was good news for ‘Community’ fans last week, as the show hit season highs in the ratings. And there was bad news for ‘Luck’ fans, as the previously renewed second season was abruptly canceled. HBO giveth, and HBO taketh away.
The latest batch of releases includes ‘Lexx’, ‘Jane By Design’, ‘That ’70s Show’, ‘Zombie Hunters’, ‘Batman: The Brave and the Bold’, ‘My Living Doll’, ‘Kojak’, ‘Scarecrow and Mrs King’, ‘People Are Funny’, ‘Mister Rogers’, and ‘Destination Space’.
Premieres for ‘GCB’ and ‘Breaking In’ came in at somewhat less than ABC and FOX might have been hoping for, falling well short of a repeat ‘Big Bang’ on CBS. Over on cable, the premiere of “Breakout Kings’ did nothing to slow down the ‘Walking Dead’ juggernaut.
This week brings new sets from ‘Call Me Fitz’, ‘Doctor Who’, ‘The Guild’, ‘The Tribe’, ‘Out’, ‘Come Fly With Me’, ‘Hercules’, ‘Xena’, ‘Teen A Go Go’, ‘Jetsons’, ‘Flintstones’, ‘Pippi Longstocking’, ‘Superjail, ‘Squid Girl’, ‘Bobby’s World’, ‘Spongebob’, and ‘The Killing’.
Our regularly scheduled programming was interrupted this week by the ‘Academy Awards’, the surprise prime-time appearance of the ‘Daytona 500′, and a triple shot of ‘Idol’. That brought a few unexpected drops to the numbers. On cable, ‘The Walking Dead’ continues to rule.
A huge collection of releases includes ‘Game of Thrones’, ‘Poirot’, ‘Mi-5′, ‘Hawthorne’, ‘Happily Divorced’, ‘Above Suspicion’, ‘Dalziel & Pascoe’, ‘John Deed’, ‘Frasier’, ‘Odd Couple’, ‘Cheers’, ‘Happy Days’, ‘Macgyver’, ‘Hogan’s Heroes’, ’21 Jump Street’, ‘Scooby-Doo’, and ‘Transformers’.
The big news on the networks was ‘American Idol’ falling to third place in viewers and the demo. Over on cable, the premiere of ‘Eastbound & Down’ could do nothing to stop the freight train that is AMC’s ‘The Walking Dead’.
