Another slow week on the networks as the summer season starts to wind down. The big excitement is the return of the NFL, which always brings the numbers. Over on cable, the crime fighting girls continue their impressive debut seasons.
On the networks, the big show for last week was ‘The Bachelorette’. You can bet on seeing another run next summer. Over on cable, did you see the new ‘iCarly’? Lots of other people did.
Another slow week for the networks means the big story was over on cable. ‘Mad Men’ kicked off another season, but how would Don Draper stack up against the ratings power of Snookie?
It looks like Ivey isn’t alone in picking ‘Covert Affairs’ as the best show of the summer. In its second episode, the ratings were up, landing it well ahead of ‘White Collar.’ ‘Rizzoli & Isles’ had a pretty good second week as well.
The big news this week was on cable, with six big premieres. The new shows, ‘The Glades’, ‘Covert Affairs’, and ‘Rizzoli & Isles’, looked very good next to ‘White Collar’, ‘Psych’, and ‘The Closer’.
It was a rather quiet week in the ratings as we made our way into July. The networks were par for the course and the big news on cable was the decided lack of viewers for Showtime’s ‘L-Word’ spinoff.
Is the DVD set worth the $29.99 price? Was Aryeh right — has season 2 lost its luster? Unfortunately, my answers are no and yes.
