‘Terra Nova’ didn’t bring the numbers that the $20 million pilot suggested were expected, while ‘Two and a Half Men’ continued to lead all shows and ABC had a good debut for ‘Suburgatory’. On cable, ‘Boardwalk Empire’ is back for HBO.
Ashton Kutcher’s introduction on ‘Two And A Half Men’ brought ridiculous numbers to CBS, while Simon Cowell and ‘X Factor’ quickly dashed any thoughts that FOX might have another ‘Idol’ on their hands.
A big week of releases includes ‘Supernatural’, ‘Big Bang Theory’, ‘Glee’, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’, ‘It’s Always Sunny’, ‘Rescue Me’, ‘Outsourced’, ‘Sanctuary’, ‘Spartacus’, ‘Inspector Lewis’, ‘Camelot’, ‘Blue Bloods’, ‘Blue Mountain State’, ‘Doctor Who’, ‘Private Practice’, and much more.
While new series may have had a rough go of it this past season, I for one enjoyed the recently concluded year of television. Here’s what my TV Wednesdays looked like during the 2010-2011 season.
As we are on the eve of upfronts, news of cancellations and renewals is flying in. This week we take a look at the fates of some of those bubble shows, and ponder what Ashton Kutcher replacing Charlie Sheen on ‘Two and a Half Men’ means for the CBS Monday.
Overall, the first full week of sweeps was a bit slow. The big surprise came as NBC’s ‘The Voice’ managed to improve on what was an outstanding debut the week before. Over on cable, can you imagine ‘L&O CI’ on USA beating new ‘L&O LA’ on NBC?
NBC had the big news for the week, with the premiere of ‘The Voice’. Over on cable, week two of ‘Game of Thrones’ was right on pace with the premiere, while ‘Sanctuary’ gave ‘SGU’ fans a little more ammo.
