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’.
Yes, meat just might be murder, but it’s showcased hilariously through Bob Belcher’s family of wisenheimers. Trans-gendered animals, word play and cow dung texts make for a half hour of Sunday evening frivolity.
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.
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.
‘Bob’s Burgers’ second effort gets better and more outrageous than the first. I’m intrigued by the blond man on the roller skates in nothing but his underwear.
It’s the grand re-re-re opening of Bob’s Burgers, complete with extra fries and a heavy dollop of mirth and merriment. Plus! No human flesh was used in the writing of this review.
Yes, it’s almost winter already, and here’s our usual winter/spring schedule for what’s premiering and when. We will update it regularly, along with the subscribable calendar, so check back often!
