The big story last week was the triumphant return of ‘The Walking Dead’ on cable, complete with numbers that the vast majority of network shows couldn’t match.
‘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.
Has ‘The X Factor’ judge and former ‘American Idol’ alum lost his marbles?
‘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.
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.
This week, I say how I really feel about Charlie. Plus, we mourn the loss of rum ham … and celebrate it’s miraculous resurrection.
And with that, the summer TV season is done! Bring on the new fall season. We got our first taste of fall last week as 10 shows had their premieres across CW, NBC, and CBS. There is still a lot to be decided, but fall of 2011 is already off to an interesting start.
