Ratings Clack – The Cape and Off The Map have rough starts

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.

The Middle – Axl should have gotten a visit from social services

I know I always get yelled at for suggesting that sitcoms have recurring plot lines, but how about this: Axl should have to care for that doll for the remainder of the school year. Am I right?

Thank you ABC, I feel much better now

ABC had me in a tizzy when ‘Mr. Sunshine’ was set to take over ‘Cougar Town’s’ time slot. Why I shouldn’t have been worried….

Ratings Clack – V returns. It’s no Wipeout.

The Visitors are back, and we now know one thing for sure. Red Rain doesn’t do anything to boost ratings. On the other hand, people falling is still a crowd pleaser. ‘Winter Wipeout’ debuted to huge numbers.

The Middle – Did they let Brick meet his new online buddy?

Here’s what I think: no tryout lunchroom follies are all in Sue’s mind. There is no such thing, and she and Carly were just dancing in the lunchroom like a couple of crazies … blows your mind, right?

Ratings Clack – What do Eureka and Warehouse 13 mean for SGU?

‘Eureka’ and ‘Warehouse 13′ got in on the holiday episode game last week. How would their numbers compare to what ‘Stargate Universe’ has been able to manage since moving to Tuesday? A similar thing was happening on the networks, as ‘The Sing Off’ stepped in for ‘Chuck’ and ‘The Event’.

The Middle – Where did Coach Fox and Dauber spend the holiday?

As much as Neil Flynn’s become Mike Heck, there’s still a part of him who’ll always be The Janitor from ‘Scrubs’. So was it that much of a revelation to see Janitor join the holiday skit? Sorry, but not so much.
