Another week of ups and downs brings good news for some (’30 Rock Live’, ‘Defenders’, ‘Smallville’), and bad news for others (‘The Event’, ‘Running Wilde’). Plus, how did a Monday ‘iCarly’ stack up against the entire NBC schedule?
As far as crossovers go, ‘One Tree Hill’ didn’t invade Portland with people and storylines that I didn’t understand, which is a good thing. Instead, a concert that lead to under-aged drinking, fence jumping, and some mother/daughter yelling?
‘Caprica’ returned last week, and the results leave us questioning how long the show can remain a part of the new Syfy. Over on the networks, there are still a few new shows (‘The Event’, ‘The Defenders’, ‘Detroit 187′) looking to find their levels.
It’s only week two and already the cancellation act has been swung. Twice. In happier news, ‘Glee’ managed to ride the popularity of Britney, or Brittany, to even better numbers than the premiere. Also, good grief, a lot of people watch ‘Jersey Shore’.
After a full summer of ho-hum, last week brought us five days of full-tilt-boogie network programming. The early results for the new season say that things look very good over at CBS. The other networks were very hit and miss.
We’re on the verge of full schedules. This week, the CW got the new season rolling with 8 new hours of programming. Those results were rather curious. Over on cable, tick-tock ‘Terriers’.
As we move closer to fall premieres, more current shows are dropping. This week includes ‘Cougar Town’, ‘Dexter’, ‘Friday Night Lights’, ‘Ugly Betty’, ‘One Tree Hill’, ‘Dark Oracle’, and ‘The Kardashians’.
