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?
It looks like Ivey isn’t alone in picking ‘Covert Affairs’ as the best show of the summer. In its second episode, the ratings were up, landing it well ahead of ‘White Collar.’ ‘Rizzoli & Isles’ had a pretty good second week as well.
The big news this week was on cable, with six big premieres. The new shows, ‘The Glades’, ‘Covert Affairs’, and ‘Rizzoli & Isles’, looked very good next to ‘White Collar’, ‘Psych’, and ‘The Closer’.

With summer officially starting, the week brought more premieres from ABC, and over on cable. The news was good for some (‘Rookie Blue’, ‘Futurama’, ‘Memphis Beat’), and not so good for others (‘Scoundrels’, ‘Boston Med’).
