It was a bit of a slow week with President Obama again bringing mayhem to your regularly scheduled programming. The highlight in all of it was the NFL once again flexing its considerable ratings muscles. Over on cable, week two was not kind to MTV’s ‘Skins’.
Every week brother and sister team Bob and Debbie take on a new topic. This week we take on NBC’s ‘The Cape.’
Well look at that. The concerns I raised last week regarding the Carnival of Crime are quickly addressed this week, which promises to make for some interesting dynamics in the future.
Mid-season really heats up this with premieres from ‘Harry’s Law’, ‘American Idol’, ‘Skins’, ‘White Collar’, ‘Royal Pains’, and ‘Fairly Legal’. We also saw the debut of ‘Fringe’ on Friday, and the new NBC Thursday. There are also some surprising numbers for ‘The Game’ on BET, and more ‘Jersey Shore’ craziness.
Remember back in the pilot episode, when Faraday was taken in by a band of criminal circus folk? What happened to them?
The mid-season premieres continue to roll out, but not with the numbers that the networks might have been hoping for. ‘The Cape’ and ‘Off The Map’ both had less than stellar starts this week, while Bob’s Burgers took a hand-off from the NFL and scored big.
The other day I posted a preview of sorts for the first two hours of NBC’s ‘The Cape,’ so I won’t get too much into what I posted about there. What I will discuss briefly is what we learned in this episode and where things might be going, among other things.
