It was a bit of a slow week with President Obama again bringing mayhem to your regularly scheduled programming. The highlight in all of it was the NFL once again flexing its considerable ratings muscles. Over on cable, week two was not kind to MTV’s ‘Skins’.
A big list this week includes ‘Doctor Who’, ‘Downton Abbey’, ‘Skins’, ‘Greek’, ‘Ben 10′, ‘Hot In Cleveland’, ‘ER, ‘Rules Of Engagement’, ‘Funny Or Die’, ‘Spin City’, ‘Adam-12′, ‘All In The Family’, Sordid Lives’, and ‘The Universe’.
Scripted fare ramped up again this summer with quite a few offerings from various networks. Not having seen all of the shows, I’ll leave it up to you to tell me what I missed and why I should have paid more attention with your comments.
As we get closer to the fall season, the NFL is already taking over the ratings race on the networks. Over on cable, TruTV brought out their new show to be evaluated, only to be disappointed when they learned it was counterfeit, and not worth as much as they thought.
Another slow week on the networks as the summer season starts to wind down. The big excitement is the return of the NFL, which always brings the numbers. Over on cable, the crime fighting girls continue their impressive debut seasons.
On the networks, the big show for last week was ‘The Bachelorette’. You can bet on seeing another run next summer. Over on cable, did you see the new ‘iCarly’? Lots of other people did.
Another slow week for the networks means the big story was over on cable. ‘Mad Men’ kicked off another season, but how would Don Draper stack up against the ratings power of Snookie?
