Latest episode clacks for this show:
The flood of premieres for the new year continues with ‘The Firm,’ ‘Are You There Chelsea,’ ‘The Finder,’ ’30 Rock,’ ‘Rob,’ and ‘The Game.’ That’s both good and bad, as the numbers run the gamut from ‘sure to be canceled’ to ‘solid hit’.
We get it! ‘The Good Wife’ takes a page out of no one’s book, and always turns the legal dramedy world on its head. But wouldn’t it be nice to occasionally get back to a normal case, allowing these legal eagles to strut their stuff?
Is the current television season halfway through, or does it still have halfway to go? That’s my attempt at applying the glass half full/half empty concept to a television season. But with most shows on hiatus, I figured this was a good time to look back at the half-season that was.
After a five year break, ‘Fear Factor’ returned at the top of the NBC heap. Over on cable, a shocking finale for HBO’s ‘Boardwalk Empire’ meant good things for everyone. Well… everyone but that actor… that played that guy.
I don’t know if it’s an indication of good acting or bad, but Alicia and Peter have absolutely no chemistry anymore. The limited time we saw them collaborating for the sake of their kids last night, it was like watching two total strangers trying to discuss something personal.
I found it completely hilarious that Alicia went to Grace for deeper research on Christianity and the Bible. Not just because, you know, one week Grace’s into ambush dancing and one week she’s into God. But rather because, well … didn’t you find it hilarious?
The holiday week didn’t do any favors for the networks where ratings are concerned. Turkey day found plenty of shows ending up on the wrong side of the up/down scale, and NBC finishing in fifth place, three times.
