Latest episode clacks for this show:
Premieres for ‘GCB’ and ‘Breaking In’ came in at somewhat less than ABC and FOX might have been hoping for, falling well short of a repeat ‘Big Bang’ on CBS. Over on cable, the premiere of “Breakout Kings’ did nothing to slow down the ‘Walking Dead’ juggernaut.
I can’t wait for Samurai’s part of this story to be over. He is so not this season’s Lew Ashby, and each of his appearances paints him all the more unpleasant. Hanging Hank over a balcony for what happened in Hank’s trailer was not cool!
The big news on the networks was ‘American Idol’ falling to third place in viewers and the demo. Over on cable, the premiere of ‘Eastbound & Down’ could do nothing to stop the freight train that is AMC’s ‘The Walking Dead’.
I love having Scott Michael Foster on ‘Californication’ this season, as much as I dislike Becca and as bad as Tyler is for her. But I don’t think that Tyler’s anything like Hank, so why’s the show forcing the point? Now he’s a writer, too? Let Hank not like him for who he is, not for any other reason!
The big news on the broadcast networks last week was the huge ratings for the ‘Grammy Awards’. The death of Whitney Houston brought viewer levels the show hadn’t seen since the ’80s. Over on cable, the amazing run of ‘The Walking Dead’ just keeps going. The latest premiere finished even higher than the last one.
Another record setting ‘Super Bowl’ was the big event last week. But for our purposes here, the more interesting results concern the premieres of ‘The Voice’, ‘Smash’, and ‘The River’. One of those is not like the others. I’ll bet you can guess which one.
I’ll admit I did not spot the tranny hooker even as he sat in the backseat next to Charlie, but I’d say Charlie’s first line of defense should have been to not try and trade on being a “detective” in exchange for free oral sex. Sounds kind of simple, no?
