Latest episode clacks for this show:
Cable again took center stage with season premieres for ‘True Blood’, ‘Burn Notice’, and Suits, along with series premieres for ‘Bunheads’ and ‘Dallas’. On the broadcast networks, if the NBA and the NHL played football, the score would be 35 to 10.
Cable took center stage with nine big premieres and some very encouraging finale numbers for HBO’s ‘Game Of Thrones’. On the broadcast networks, NBC remains at the head of the class thanks to ‘America’s Got Talent.’
No surprise on the networks as ‘America’s Got Talent’ takes over as the number one show for the summer. But there was a huge surprise on cable where History’s ‘Hatfields & McCoys’ topped everything else on television.
Finale week wasn’t exactly great for some of the older reality shows. ‘Idol’, ‘Dancing WIth The Stars’, and ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ were all up. But they were all at series low levels for their finales.
A week full of finales brought good news for some (‘Once Upon A Time’, ‘How I Met Your Mother’, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’, ‘NCIS’), and not so good news for others (‘Suburgatory’, ’30 Rock’, ‘Community’, ‘Touch’).
As upfront week hits, almost all of the renewals and cancellations have been announced. This week we run through which shows will be returning, and which will be readying those complete series DVD sets.
As we head to the finish line for the season, more renewals are rolling in. CW has given golden tickets to ‘Vampire Diaries’, ‘Supernatural’, and ‘90210’, while HBO has tapped both ‘Veep’ and ‘Girls’ for second seasons.
