A solid week of releases is headed up by ‘Max Headroom’. Edison and Theora are joined by ‘Numb3rs’, ‘Trauma’, ‘Adam-12′, ‘Looney Tunes’, ‘Penguins of Madagascar’, ‘Titan Maximum’, and ‘Minder’.
Thanks to ‘Survivor’, CBS took the early lead in the final sweeps event of the season. You can bet that American Idol will have something to say about that next week. Over on cable, why isn’t anyone watching ‘Party Down’?
As we race toward the end of this television season, last week was another full of crazy lows. Crazy, like Community and 30 Rock not even managing 4 million viewers. On the plus side, the NFL’s Thursday prime time first round was a big success.
The singing kids of ‘Glee’ returned to FOX and rode the ‘Idol’ wave to huge numbers. Over on cable, Discovery had a return of their own as the men of ‘Deadliest Catch’ opened a new crab season.
ABC and CBS went with the old double-team, using ‘Dancing With The Stars’ and the NCAA Championship to knock ‘Idol’ all the way to third in viewers last week. Elsewhere, what’s up with those ‘Justified’ numbers?
Last week brought good news for our friends over at ‘Castle’, and bad news for every show on Thursday. Over on cable, TNT and USA went all girlpower on us, bringing back ‘Saving Grac’e and ‘In Plain Sight.’
The big story this week was the return of ‘Dancing With The Stars’. The show was just a whisker away from ‘Idol’ in total viewers, and propelled ‘Castle’ to a big win against ‘CSI: Miami’. Over on cable, everybody loves Discovery’s ‘Life’.
