Ratings Clack – Entering the holiday abyss

It’s that time of the year. Now that we’ve all been spoiled for months with tons of new TV, it’s all going away. Last week we saw the first real evidence of the holiday slowdown as CW just shut down completely and ABC was the only network that even made an effort on Thursday and […]

Maybe it’s that as individual viewers we’re only allotted so much laughing in a week. I don’t know […]
