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.
The flood of premieres for the new year continues with ‘The Firm,’ ‘Are You There Chelsea,’ ‘The Finder,’ ’30 Rock,’ ‘Rob,’ and ‘The Game.’ That’s both good and bad, as the numbers run the gamut from ‘sure to be canceled’ to ‘solid hit’.
A short list of releases includes ‘Sledge Hammer!’, ‘Family Guy’, ‘Switched At Birth’, ‘Gunsmoke’, ‘Wyatt Earp’, ‘State Trooper’, ‘Life and Times of Tim’, ‘Swamp People, and ‘Spin City’.
Let your voice be heard! Vote for your favorite new summer show of the season!
In the summer finale of ‘Switched At Birth’ Emmett deals with a difficult decision, an important character makes an appearance, and Daphne shows that she, too, can be competitive.
Last week we were again reminded that a whole lot of people really like ‘Jersey Shore’. The show was easily the big winner for the week. On the broadcast networks, ‘The Bachelorette’ finale was good news for ABC.
