Latest episode clacks for this show:
‘Charlie’s Angels’ became the latest show to be given a pink slip last week. In happier news, Tim Allen’s new sitcom, ‘Last Man Standing’ got off to a very good start. On cable, Shawn and Gus kicked off season six of ‘Psych’ on USA.
It’s a garden party on ‘The Office’ this week, setting up a classic prank from Jim. I’m wondering, though, if there’s been too much Andy on show this season.
As we enter October it is time for the merciless axe of cancellation to start swinging. The week brought the first four pink slips for the 2011-2012 season as ‘Playboy Club’, ‘Free Agents’, ‘How To Be A Gentleman’, and ‘H8R’ were all sent packing.
Biggest wasted moment of the episode? First there was the shot of one of the warehouse job applicants eating Stanley’s lunch … then Stanley staring at him through the conference room’s window. Is it possible that there wasn’t some sort of ugly confrontation following that? I think not!
‘Terra Nova’ didn’t bring the numbers that the $20 million pilot suggested were expected, while ‘Two and a Half Men’ continued to lead all shows and ABC had a good debut for ‘Suburgatory’. On cable, ‘Boardwalk Empire’ is back for HBO.
James Spader has breathed new life into ‘The Office.’ I just wish the powers that be had decided to make Robert California the manager and not the CEO.
Ashton Kutcher’s introduction on ‘Two And A Half Men’ brought ridiculous numbers to CBS, while Simon Cowell and ‘X Factor’ quickly dashed any thoughts that FOX might have another ‘Idol’ on their hands.
