Ratings Clack – Bad news for the CBS Monday, and Paul Reiser

The decided lack of new ‘Two and a Half Men’ episodes is starting to really show in the ratings for the other Monday comedies at CBS. Over on cable, ‘Deadliest Catch’ is back, and much bigger than Norm.

The Middle – The son surpasses the father

Mike coming home with the plaque commemorating his old free throw record brings up an interesting question: do record holders really get to keep their trophy once they’ve been relegated to second best?

Ratings Clack – Bones is moving to Friday

The big news this week was a 22 episode renewal for ‘Fringe’. If you follow the ratings, that probably comes as a bit of a shock. What could FOX have up its sleeve? My best guess, they are going to finally actually try on Friday, and move ‘Bones’ to join ‘Fringe’.

The Middle – Didn’t the Hecks look like they’d been to a water park?

Maybe I was just imagining this, but it looked like the cop who rang the Heck’s doorbell had a little knowing smile in his eyes … did no one figure out that Axl and Sue were the ones who dumped all of that stuff?

Ratings Clack – Charlie Sheen wins

You couldn’t go anywhere last week without hearing about Charlie Sheen. TV, twitter, facebook… Not even our local comic convention was Sheen-free. When will it end? No time soon, if the ratings are to be believed.

The Middle – The return of the former mother-in-law

There are a lot of fun guest spots that Patricia Heaton’s and Neil Flynn’s old costars could do. Here are two I’d love to see: Ray Romano as an old boyfriend of Frankie’s, and Zach Braff as a kid Mike used to bully. Am I right?

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’.
