… and hates Marco White, apparently. It was a strange week on television. The calendar keeps insisting we are in a sweeps period, but the networks are dropping repeats all over the schedule. Even Lost, which ABC promised would run uninterrupted, went the repeat route. There were still some big events. As usual, Idol dominated, […]
It certainly worked for CSI this week. And, really, considering the way the Fox Friday is hemorrhaging viewers, I don’t think they should rule anything out. Once again, both Terminator and Dollhouse were down. They shared bad news with Chuck, Heroes, and Life On Mars. Reaper, Lie To Me, and Jesse Stone found themselves somewhere […]
I have already written about my disappointment with Lie to Me. I’ll watch tonight, too, but I’m not sure it’s going to get any better. It’s also hard for me to get invested in the show; my reason for this is in my list of why I think the show is going to be canceled. […]
