It was an odd week of television. The current sweeps period continues to cough up odd nights of repeats. This time, NBC took Monday off, to disastrous results. In not quite as disastrous news, the mid-season debuts continued, as ABC premiered Better Off Ted and NBC finally gave us all a look at Kings. On […]
Friday is a big, big, day where Dollhouse is concerned. The sixth episode, “Man On The Street,” is finally upon us, and all signs point to it being where the series really hits its stride. Or so we’ve been told, for weeks. (It leaves me thinking of those old Heinz “anticipation” commercials.) And it couldn’t […]
… and hates Marco White, apparently. It was a strange week on television. The calendar keeps insisting we are in a sweeps period, but the networks are dropping repeats all over the schedule.

And the Obama address to Congress mixed things up on Tuesday, shifting Idol to Wednesday and Thursday. That, of course, had a ripple effect throughout the ratings. Elsewhere, the new FOX Friday suffered […]
