The summer TV season hit with full force last week, as we saw the networks spending more time airing repeats than originals. Sports helped ease the transition a bit. The NBA, NASCAR, and the NHL all entered prime time, to wildly differing results. On cable, Paris Hilton is back…
We can officially put the 2010-2011 season in the books now, and the more things change, the more they stay the same (‘Ido’l and ‘DWTS’ are still huge). As the season ends, it’s time to welcome the onslaught of summer programming. Hello ‘Bachelorette’ and ‘So You Think You Can Dance’.
Here’s our fully-updated summer schedule for what’s premiering on TV and when. We will update it regularly, along with the subscribable calendar, so check back often!
The week that was brought a host of finales to each of the networks. That was overwhelmingly good news. Even those that were off the year ago pace saw a boost over the previous tougher spring weeks. Over on cable, keep an eye on those ‘Game of Thrones’ numbers.
As we are on the eve of upfronts, news of cancellations and renewals is flying in. This week we take a look at the fates of some of those bubble shows, and ponder what Ashton Kutcher replacing Charlie Sheen on ‘Two and a Half Men’ means for the CBS Monday.
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?
NBC had the big news for the week, with the premiere of ‘The Voice’. Over on cable, week two of ‘Game of Thrones’ was right on pace with the premiere, while ‘Sanctuary’ gave ‘SGU’ fans a little more ammo.
