(1/05 – 1/11) TV for 2009 started spinning up the turbos last week, and will be at full boost when Idol comes online this week. That will, of course, send numbers in all kinds of crazy directions. It should anyway, unless I got the animal sacrifices and the Gregorian chanting right this time. Once I […]
(12/22 – 12/29) Yikes. That was not what you would call a good week of television. As usual, the holiday tossed the broadcast schedule into disarray, and new scripted programming was mighty hard to find. The only thing that passed for regular programming was the CBS Sunday night.

I’m pretty sure that they are not officially calling them canceled because there are still episodes to air. And the only thing that chases viewers away from a show faster […]
8:00p/7:00 Central More and more people are apparently gravitating to the CBS comedy lineup as its the only network seeing gains here. The Big Bang Theory kicks things off with Leonard accidentally drawing the attention of a “future Mrs. Wolowitz.” Then, Ted pitches a building design to Barney’s company on How I Met Your Mother.
