The big numbers on broadcast last week came from the NBA Finals and ‘Glee’. Over on cable, Chumlee was a bigger demo draw than even Michael Westen as ‘Pawn Stars’ returned to more great numbers.

The summer television season kicked off last week with premieres from ‘America’s Got Talent’, ‘Wipeout’, ‘Losing It With Jillian’, ‘Hell’s Kitchen’, ‘Burn Notice’, and ‘Royal Pains’.

The 2009-2010 television season comes to a close, marked by series finales from ‘Lost’, ’24’, and ‘Law & Order’, as well as Simon’s final appearance on ‘Idol’.

With the 2009-2010 TV season quickly coming to a close, a number of the big network shows are starting to fire off their big finales. That meant nice numbers for things like ‘House’ and ‘Grey’s,’ but I’m most impressed with the longevity of ‘Survivor.’

The recent announcement of NBC’s fall schedule starts to look awfully curious when you consider the recent numbers for some of their returning shows.

Another week of bloodshed in the ratings where nobody was safe. Even ‘Idol’ took quite a hit, which at least suggests that we could be approaching a time where ‘Idol’ is just another show.

Thanks to ‘Survivor’, CBS took the early lead in the final sweeps event of the season. You can bet that American Idol will have something to say about that next week. Over on cable, why isn’t anyone watching ‘Party Down’?
