Ratings Clack – Following Lost is the new Friday night

(1/19 – 1/26) The subject of the Friday night death slot comes up fairly regularly around here. Moreso recently, what with the Terminator/Dollhouse debut right around the corner. I’m not one to argue in the face of so much damning evidence, but I do think there is a plucky young upstart with eyes on the […]

Ratings Clack – Lost premiere is bigger than ever!

(1/12 – 1/18) No. Not really. In fact, it was the lowest rated premiere the show has ever had. Somehow though, ABC managed to massage those numbers so much that they felt ok producing a promo that called it bigger than ever. It’s lipstick on a pig. DVR, streaming, illicit downloads, no matter what spin […]

Ratings Clack – Idol storms back, Patrick Jane doesn’t care

(1/12 – 1/18) Yes, of course, the big story this week was the return of American Idol. It didn’t disappoint, from a numbers perspective. Both installments easily won their nights. We all expected that though, right? The more interesting bit of the Idol story was the effect the show had, or didn’t have, on the […]

Ratings Clack – The week before Idol offers a couple surprises

(1/05 – 1/11) TV for 2009 started spinning up the turbos last week, and will be at full boost when Idol comes online this week. That will, of course, send numbers in all kinds of crazy directions. It should anyway, unless I got the animal sacrifices and the Gregorian chanting right this time. Once I […]

Reality Clack – American Idol, The Bachelor, The Biggest Loser, Superstars of Dance

Ah, we’re finally into new seasons of reality shows! Well, the reality biggie American Idol doesn’t start until this week, but the madness is already here. As always, I contend that American Idol is more of a talent contest (or non-talent with some of the contestants) than what I’d refer to as a reality show. […]

Ratings Clack – CSI scores big. Biggest Loser NBC’s best hope?

(12/7 – 12/13) I work with a guy that has the barest of the bare bones cable packages. Thirteen channels. It amounts to the networks, Discovery, PBS, and shopping. It was a tough week of television for him. There were a lot of repeats. The CW only managed 3½ hours of original programming for the […]

Reality Clack – Celebrity Rehab, The Biggest Loser, Real Housewives of Atlanta, American Idol

Yikes! The “good” reality shows are dwindling away in fall season finales! By “good” I mean ones I watch and enjoy. Your mileage may vary, of course. But the real biggies of the genre are wrapping things up and I fear a dearth coming as the year winds down. Last week it was the end […]
