There are a few newer entires to have a look at this week, including ‘NCIS’, ‘NCIS LA’, ‘Gossip Girl’, ‘The Event’, ‘Off The Map’, and ‘Brothers & Sisters’. You’ll also find the OG ‘Prime Suspect’, ‘Upstairs Downstairs’, ‘Shark Men’, ‘Angry Beavers’, and ‘Garfield’.
Is it too much to ask for an alien invasion series that delivers? If the past is any indication, then yes … but with ‘Falling Skies’ we might finally get what we’ve hoped for.
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 Mondays looked like during the 2010-2011 season.
We can officially put the 2010-2011 season in the books now, and the more things change, the more they stay the same (‘Ido’l and ‘DWTS’ are still huge). As the season ends, it’s time to welcome the onslaught of summer programming. Hello ‘Bachelorette’ and ‘So You Think You Can Dance’.
The week that was brought a host of finales to each of the networks. That was overwhelmingly good news. Even those that were off the year ago pace saw a boost over the previous tougher spring weeks. Over on cable, keep an eye on those ‘Game of Thrones’ numbers.
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?
