Latest episode clacks for this show:
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.
After a strong season opener, the FX series comes back with a standalone episode that proves it can be just as good while taking the completely opposite approach.
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.
How does ‘Justified’ keep getting better? Well, it has something to do with putting three fantastic actors in the same episode.
The new year brings sets from ‘Justified’, ‘Mildred Pierce’, ‘Royal Pains’, ‘Man In A Suitcase’, ‘Dr Willoughby’, ‘Alfred Hitchcock’, ‘Spongebob’, ‘Only When I Laugh’, ‘That’s My Boy’, ‘Dirty Pair’, ‘Sekirei 2′, ‘X’, and ‘Sesame Street’.
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?
The second-season finale of ‘Justified’ packed more issues than an episode of ‘Dr. Phil,’ more arguing than ‘Jerry Springer’ and a revelation you might hear on ‘Maury.’ Could this be the best family drama on TV?
