Things are very good for the denizens of Westeros. HBO’s ‘Game Of Thrones’ returned for season two at series high levels. The news wasn’t so good for the other big cable premiere for the week, ‘The Killing’. That was was down from the end of the first season.
The big story last week was the premiere of ‘Mad Men’, which returned from an extended hiatus to record viewing levels. Over on the networks, week two of ‘Touch’ raises some questions and the prospects for ‘Community’ continue to improve.
ABC and FOX had big premieres for ‘Dancing With The Stars’ and ‘Touch’ last week, but both were overshadowed by the crazy numbers AMC brought in with the season finale of ‘The Walking Dead’.
There was good news for ‘Community’ fans last week, as the show hit season highs in the ratings. And there was bad news for ‘Luck’ fans, as the previously renewed second season was abruptly canceled. HBO giveth, and HBO taketh away.
Premieres for ‘GCB’ and ‘Breaking In’ came in at somewhat less than ABC and FOX might have been hoping for, falling well short of a repeat ‘Big Bang’ on CBS. Over on cable, the premiere of “Breakout Kings’ did nothing to slow down the ‘Walking Dead’ juggernaut.
‘Good Christian Bitches’ … oops … I mean ‘GCB’ premiered tonight. It’s an adult ‘Mean Girls’ with adults! Over the top, but has potential!
