This week, new sets for ‘Top Gear’, ‘Law & Order’, ‘Indian Doctor’, ‘Todd & The Book of Pure Evil’, ‘Travel The Road’, ‘Land Girls’, ‘The Brief’, ‘Manions of America’, ‘Lucy’, ‘Here Come The Brides’, ‘Anthony Bourdain’, ‘Nova’, ‘Justice League’, ‘Princess Jellyfish’, and ‘My Little Pony’.
The big news on the broadcast networks last week was the huge ratings for the ‘Grammy Awards’. The death of Whitney Houston brought viewer levels the show hadn’t seen since the ’80s. Over on cable, the amazing run of ‘The Walking Dead’ just keeps going. The latest premiere finished even higher than the last one.
This week’s releases include ‘Weeds’, ‘Nurse Jackie’, ‘Borgia’, ‘Fades’, ‘Sherlock Holmes’, ‘Matlock’, ‘Last of the Summer Wine’, ‘Lawrence Welk’, ‘Hazel’, ‘Jayce’, ‘Young Justice’, ‘Archie’s Weird Mysteries’, ‘ Underdog’, ‘Carmen Sandiego’, ‘Heathcliff’, ‘Gadget Boy’, and ‘Bob The Builder’.
Another record setting ‘Super Bowl’ was the big event last week. But for our purposes here, the more interesting results concern the premieres of ‘The Voice’, ‘Smash’, and ‘The River’. One of those is not like the others. I’ll bet you can guess which one.
The latest set of releases includes ‘Doctor Who’, ‘Wainy Days’, ‘Shades’, ‘They Came From Outer Space’, ‘Robin Of Sherwood’, ‘Five-O’, ‘Murder, She Wrote’, ‘Family Matters’, ‘.hack’, ‘Dora’, ‘The Lorax’, ‘Jem’, and Beavis & Butthead’.
‘Big Bang Theory’ continued its fabulous run, topping ‘Idol’ in the demo again, and hitting a series high for good measure. Over on cable, HBO debuted ‘Luck’, to lackluster results, and then promptly renewed it.
The latest releases include ‘Downton Abbey,’ ‘Geek Charming,’ ‘Hell’s Kitchen,’ ‘Father Dowling,’ ‘Materpiece Classic,’ ‘Rocko’s Modern Life,’ ‘Mickey Mouse,’ ‘Curious George,’ ‘New Tricks,’ ‘Six Feet Under,’ ‘CSI,’ ‘La Fuerza Del Destino,’ ‘Laramie,’ ‘Bizarre Foods,’ ‘Brontes Of Haworth,’ ‘Northern Lights,’ and ‘Lost Gold of the Dark Ages’.
