‘Eureka’ and ‘Warehouse 13′ got in on the holiday episode game last week. How would their numbers compare to what ‘Stargate Universe’ has been able to manage since moving to Tuesday? A similar thing was happening on the networks, as ‘The Sing Off’ stepped in for ‘Chuck’ and ‘The Event’.
The big story for the broadcast networks was the horrible debut of ‘Skating With The Stars’ in the ‘Dancing With The Stars’ slot. Over on cable, ‘The Walking Dead’ hit series highs with the fifth episode.
On cable, ‘Sarah Palin’s Alaska’ debuted to solid numbers for TLC, while TBS and TLC were not so lucky with ‘Glory Daze’ and ‘Pawn Queens’. Over on the networks, the big story was again the singing kids of ‘Glee’.
Cable premieres lead the weekly ratings news, with the return of ‘Psych’ and ‘Burn Notice’. There was good news for ‘The Walking Dead’ as well. On the networks, are the numbers telling us that ‘Nikita’ is now in trouble?
Last year’s television season introduced me to some of my current favorite shows. So two months in, how does the current crop of new series stand up? What’s this year’s ‘The Good Wife’?
It was another pretty standard week where the numbers were concerned. Most shows have started to stabilize by this point, but there are still some interesting bits to be had. The race between ‘Castle’ and ‘Hawaii Five-0′ is one of those.
Something a little different this week. We’re far enough along in the new season to get a pretty good idea of how the new shows are performing, so we take a look at how each network is doing with their new programming.
