Latest episode clacks for this show:

Ratings Clack – Will Charlie Sheen save Chicago Code?

Things looked much better as many shows bounced back from the struggles of last week. On the networks, ‘Chicago Code’ loves that Charlie Sheen is on the drug called Charlie Sheen. And on cable, the NBA looks a lot like the ‘Jersey Shore’.

Ratings Clack – Crushing blows across the board

It was a grisly week of numbers, with show after show posting losses. There were series lows, and season lows. Bright spots included the ‘Grammy Awards’ and the premiere of ‘Suspect Behavior’. On cable, how is ‘Being Human’ stacking up against ‘Stargate Universe’?

Ratings Clack – Super Bowl is huge for FOX, Glee a disappointment

The Super Bowl was HUGE for FOX, but it looks like giving ‘Glee’ the coveted Sunday night slot was not the best idea. Over on cable, Justified returns, and FX execs can sleep a little easier.

Ratings Clack – Chuck … He’s no Chumlee

An exciting week found personal records being set on cable (‘Pawn Stars’) and broadcast (‘NCIS’). In not so happy news, the return of full schedules didn’t do any favors for NBC’s Thursday comedies, or FOX’s ‘Fringe’.

Ratings Clack – Good news for Fringe and 30 Rock?

Mid-season really heats up this with premieres from ‘Harry’s Law’, ‘American Idol’, ‘Skins’, ‘White Collar’, ‘Royal Pains’, and ‘Fairly Legal’. We also saw the debut of ‘Fringe’ on Friday, and the new NBC Thursday. There are also some surprising numbers for ‘The Game’ on BET, and more ‘Jersey Shore’ craziness.

Shameless – At a loss for words

Without doubt, The Gallaghers are one screwed up family. But the fact of the matter is this: The show is getting better as it progresses. And I’m going to continue to blather about the outstanding acting Emma Kenney is giving us.

Shameless – It goes deeper

‘Shameless’ goes beyond what’s on the characters’ surfaces. There is a lot more taking place than just inane thievery, ranting and aimlessness.
