Latest episode clacks for this show:
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.
After an episode that leaned towards being a bit too fluffy, ABC’s scandalous dramedy returned with an installment that kicked several new plots into action. To think that I had my doubts. Never underestimate these writers. Is that a bell I just heard? I think I’ve been schooled!
After a tedious two-week hiatus, ‘Desperate Housewives’ returns with an episode that, well, is full of fluff. Still, there were two new developments, along with a scene featuring a certain redheaded housewife telling off her lackluster friends, that seemed to make the installment all the more entertaining. Let’s step it up, writers.
In case you forgot that football is huge, the NFC title game was there to remind you. The other big news on the networks was the sneak preview of ‘Touch’, and another win for ‘Big Bang Theory’ over ‘Idol’. On cable, ‘Pawn Stars’ continues to roll.
A big week of premieres was headlined by the return of ‘American Idol’, but the ratings king is not quite the juggernaut it used to be. ‘Big Bang Theory’ managed to top the singing kids in the demo.
Now officially halfway through the season, ABC’s campy soap offered up a delightfully entertaining episode of intersecting storylines, scattered dreams, broken promises, and the possible resolution of one satisfying overarching plot. Way to go, writers!
Filled with a few fluff stories, but also armed with two interesting plot developments, this week’s installment may have been a bit slow, but at least it kept things moving forward. That counts for something, right?
