‘Terra Nova’ didn’t bring the numbers that the $20 million pilot suggested were expected, while ‘Two and a Half Men’ continued to lead all shows and ABC had a good debut for ‘Suburgatory’. On cable, ‘Boardwalk Empire’ is back for HBO.
This week… ‘How I Met Your Mother’, ‘Hung’, ‘The Middle’, ‘Carlos’, ‘The Hour’, ‘Call Me Fitz’, ‘CSI’, ‘CSI Miami’, ‘CSI NY’, ‘OG Queer as Folk’, ‘Army Wives’, ‘SVU’, ‘Cleveland’, ‘Kojak’, ‘The Monkees’, ‘New Tricks’, ‘Kendra’, and ‘Holly’s World’.
Ashton Kutcher’s introduction on ‘Two And A Half Men’ brought ridiculous numbers to CBS, while Simon Cowell and ‘X Factor’ quickly dashed any thoughts that FOX might have another ‘Idol’ on their hands.
As we are on the eve of upfronts, news of cancellations and renewals is flying in. This week we take a look at the fates of some of those bubble shows, and ponder what Ashton Kutcher replacing Charlie Sheen on ‘Two and a Half Men’ means for the CBS Monday.
Overall, the first full week of sweeps was a bit slow. The big surprise came as NBC’s ‘The Voice’ managed to improve on what was an outstanding debut the week before. Over on cable, can you imagine ‘L&O CI’ on USA beating new ‘L&O LA’ on NBC?
NBC had the big news for the week, with the premiere of ‘The Voice’. Over on cable, week two of ‘Game of Thrones’ was right on pace with the premiere, while ‘Sanctuary’ gave ‘SGU’ fans a little more ammo.
The final tally is in, and ‘The Paul Reiser Show’ came up just 162 episodes short of the mark he set with ‘Mad About You’. Over on cable, HBO kicked off ‘Game of Thrones’ to a less than spectacular number, but does that even matter?
