Missed out watching Undercover Boss but I had to watch Sonny with a Chance and I can't wait for next week's season finale of The Amazing Race because I'm either going to rooted for Nat and Kat or Brook and Claire to see if they finally going to have an all - female team to win $1 million and there's a huge announcement regarding the next cycle of Race which they can't tell you after the end of the finale so SPOILER ALERT!
M E O W=wants to know why Kevin is watching the old people channel CBS and cares about slow and tired show amazing race...hmmm por thang..off to yogurt
The season final of The Walking Dead was amazing last night, much better than the stuff on the ABC
Looks like it was a solid night for everybody. The lowest rated shows, The Cleveland Show and American Dad on FOX, still drew bigger audiences than almost every show on NBC.
And Football Night in America is still regarded as one of the worst pre-game shows on TV. Seriously...can't NBC get anything right? Trim that show to at least a half-hour or make it more tolerable to watch without all the talking heads on there.
@all: Sorry my schedule has kept me from posting here too much, but I wanted to share some observations about the current season.
Overall: This is another very bad development season for the broadcast networks, with the exception of CBS, which is having an OK season made to look gloriously brilliant by the failure of the other networks' new shows.
No new show has been a major hit to date and CBS is scoring the five best new shows (it would have been ten if CBS had had ten new shows or so it seems) with five solid performers.
Of the five, I think The Defenders has the best chance to grow into a legitimate big hit along with Mike and Molly. Two well-made shows which CBS should get a lot of mileage out of for years to come.
Hawaii 5-0 was bizarrely the most promoted CBS show. It's also the least well-made with in particular a completely inept cast. It's been losing ground even with the lack of competition on Monday at 10.
At NBC every new show bombed and it says a lot that it chose to renew the mildly racist Outsourced as the show with the most potential (as well as The Event whose ratings are similarly in the mid-to-low single digits).
NBC needs to see Jeff Zucker and anyone connected with his show-picking disappear quickly so as not to fall into CW-style irrelevance.
At FOX, same lack of result, with the not-as-awful-as-you'd-think Lone Star being the biggest bomb.
With House slipping badly with the addition of the awful Amber Tamblyn (what were they thinking?!) and baseball reverting to form after a great year in 2009, FOX is left with a 17% fall in its ratings that is due mostly to its inability to find a new major hit since House (and no, Glee is simply a solid performer, not a "megahit" as some journalists in Variety hilariously refer to it).
ABC is similarly devoid of any traction on its new shows and still fails to use Dancing With The Stars to launch a much-needed new hit. One can only hope the new team will do better than Steve MacPherson did.
CW remains a non-entity and even manages at times NOT to make the Top 10, losing to USA, ABC Family and Fox News. One is still left wondering why Dawn Ostroff is allowed to keep this valuable asset wasting away. CW would do much better if they'd just pick some of CBS' rejects...
10 million morons STILL watching Undercover Boss..Hey people FYI if a guy you don`t know walks into work with a camera crew and says it "his first day" welcome to Undercover Boss..dummy
kant believe dat divet retina martini is bak! and more negativistic than ever! haha porr thin lol! And dat louse Sillyvester leaked the Bachtchelor Pad finale. Noww off to Yoda.
