Ratings Clack – Following Lost is the new Friday night

(1/19 – 1/26) The subject of the Friday night death slot comes up fairly regularly around here. Moreso recently, what with the Terminator/Dollhouse debut right around the corner. I’m not one to argue in the face of so much damning evidence, but I do think there is a plucky young upstart with eyes on the […]

Cold Case – 12 million viewers, so where’s the love?

No, I haven’t run out of original title ideas. As some of you may have seen, I recently wrote a similar post about the plight of the highly rated but severely overlooked NCIS. The truth is that your response to my article left me pleasantly surprised, while at the same time thinking about all of […]

Ratings Clack – Lost premiere is bigger than ever!

(1/12 – 1/18) No. Not really. In fact, it was the lowest rated premiere the show has ever had. Somehow though, ABC managed to massage those numbers so much that they felt ok producing a promo that called it bigger than ever. It’s lipstick on a pig.

Ratings Clack – Idol storms back, Patrick Jane doesn’t care

(1/12 – 1/18) Yes, of course, the big story this week was the return of American Idol. It didn’t disappoint, from a numbers perspective. Both installments easily won their nights. We all expected that though, right? The more interesting bit of the Idol story was the effect the show had, or didn’t have, on the […]

But clearly, the show works on numerous levels; its success as a franchise speaks volumes about the ability of its creators to apply a tried and true formula to multiple cities, with […]

Ratings Clack – It’s all about CBS

(12/14 – 12/21) This week, the other networks just made it easy for CBS. After taking second on Sunday night, to NBC’s Sunday Night Football, the Tiffany network went on to win the next five nights in viewers and the demo. Granted, there were more repeats than usual, but even the CBS repeats were in on the […]

Ratings Clack – CSI scores big. Biggest Loser NBC’s best hope?

(12/7 – 12/13) I work with a guy that has the barest of the bare bones cable packages. Thirteen channels. It amounts to the networks, Discovery, PBS, and shopping. It was a tough week of television for him. There were a lot of repeats. The CW only managed 3½ hours of original programming for the […]
