The fan favorite started its second season on BET Tuesday night – and based on the premiere, it’s got plenty of life left in it.
New this week – ‘Big Love’, ‘The Game’, ‘Portlandia’, ‘MST3K’, ‘Sarah Jane’, ‘Simpsons’, ‘Tall Man’, ‘Captain Power’, ‘Designing Women’, ‘Alvin’, ‘Ben 10′, ‘Looney Tunes’, ‘Law & Order’, ‘Lucy’, ‘Going My Way’, ‘Skeleton Warriors’, ‘Elvira’, ‘Underbelly’, ‘Transformers’, ‘Spongebob’, and ‘Voltron’.
The star talks the fifth seasons of both ‘Burn Notice’ and ‘The Game,’ just how much it takes to be a leading man on two TV shows at the same time, and more.
Dancing with quasi-stars is still wildly popular, and able to boost cop shows that follow it, as ‘Castle’ and ‘Body of Proof’ will attest. There was music in the air for ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ as well, with the show seeing its best numbers since the season premiere.
The big news this week was a 22 episode renewal for ‘Fringe’. If you follow the ratings, that probably comes as a bit of a shock. What could FOX have up its sleeve? My best guess, they are going to finally actually try on Friday, and move ‘Bones’ to join ‘Fringe’.
As has become the norm, when the weather gets nice and the clocks spring forward, television ratings take a hit. We saw it again this week as ‘Idol’ hit a surprising low, and the newly renewed NBC comedies took a ratings boot to the crotch.
As we turn the clocks forward, the spring premieres are getting fired up on the networks, including ‘Secret Millionaire’, ‘Celebrity Apprentice’, and the return of ‘The Event’. On cable, ‘Breakout Kings’ debuted, and ‘Stargate Universe’ is back.
