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.
I stopped reviewing ‘Traffic Light’ because I really dislike it. Now I’m wondering if there are people out there who are enjoying it. Reveal yourselves!
You couldn’t go anywhere last week without hearing about Charlie Sheen. TV, twitter, facebook… Not even our local comic convention was Sheen-free. When will it end? No time soon, if the ratings are to be believed.
This ‘Callie’s in debt’ plot line is reminding me of ‘HIMYM’ once again. So’s the whole ‘one of us is dating a crazy person’ thing. Will ‘Traffic Light’ ever stand on its own?
Things looked much better as many shows bounced back from the struggles of last week. On the networks, ‘Chicago Code’ loves that Charlie Sheen is on the drug called Charlie Sheen. And on cable, the NBA looks a lot like the ‘Jersey Shore’.
A bizarro Jenkins-type character appears with an interesting proposition for Mike and Lisa; Ethan throws out scrunchies, and Adam doesn’t want to talk to anyone but dudes in his car.
It was a grisly week of numbers, with show after show posting losses. There were series lows, and season lows. Bright spots included the ‘Grammy Awards’ and the premiere of ‘Suspect Behavior’. On cable, how is ‘Being Human’ stacking up against ‘Stargate Universe’?
