By and large, the Tuesday night ratings were a sorry state of affairs. How else are you meant to describe a lineup where some of the best-performing shows were the ones either hovering around or struggling to get to a 2.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic? Let’s start here with what is the bad news: […]
While Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch do work together on a regular basis making new episodes of “Sherlock,” but who knows? Based on some of the news that we have now, it’s very well possible that the two actors are going to get a chance to be featured prominently in a different universe, as well. […]
While we are not at the upfronts just yet, we are starting to at least get some word on what specific shows are getting extremely close to being picked up by networks. Some of these should excite you, even if you likely saw their future coming a mile away. Per a report from Deadline, one of […]
Before we get too much into the Episode of the Week candidates for the week of April 26, let’s begin here with at least some recognition of the champion from last week! For the first time since we’ve started this series, we actually had a tie. The season 1 finale of “Scorpion,” a show that vastly […]
Let it be known now that we are not exactly keeping that close track of the Manny Pacquiao versus Floyd Mayweather fight tonight that is being run tonight by both HBO and Showtime, and there is a simple reason for that: We’re not a sports site. Also, we don’t really understand boxing. What we have […]
The first news of the day, at least when it comes to the ratings, is fairly simple to report: “Beyond the Tank” did far and away better than we thought that it would. As a whole, the show drew an impressive 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic, which may be justifying far more than a […]
The ratings have now officially come in for Thursday night’s television lineup, and if if there is one word that we would use to describe them, it’s “ugh.” The NFL Draft is routinely a very surprising sort of ratings-killer. We’re not entirely sure why there is such a threat from sitting around and watching teams select people […]
If you were to tell us that there was to be a remake of the groundbreaking 1977 miniseries “Roots,” our initial reaction would probably be concern for one simple reason: This is one of the most important programs of its kind in history. How do you replicate that or even come close? Well, we have […]
This has not exactly been the best spring ever for CBS when it comes to the ratings, but at least until this week, “Survivor” had been pretty immune to it. So why did “Survivor: Worlds Apart” last night fall to a series-low (not including recap episodes / day-before-Thanksgiving installments) 2.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic? As […]
Earlier this year, almost anything that anyone could talk about was the present state of the NBC Nightly News and of Brian Williams, whose recounting of his time spent overseas was put into question to the point where conflicting statements were uncovered. Since that time, he has been put on a six-month unpaid suspension, and […]
