December 2011 Premieres, Specials & Events

Posted on 2011/12/01 | Leave a comment

I know there hasn’t been much happening on this site in a long while and for that I’m sorry. It’s been a struggle figuring out how to better balance my new responsibilities in the day job with the extracurricular activities I want to do, like this site and some other exciting things to come in 2012.

But people who know me know that I love me a good list, and I love me some television, so why not take what I do anyway for myself and share it all with you. Many of you may remember these monthly columns from TV Squad and subsequently AOL TV. Well, they’ve proven pretty popular and I’ve seen them copied countless places on the ‘net, so why not on my own site. I did put in the man-hours to create it after all :).

Ratings Recap: ‘School Pride’ Another Dud for NBC, While CBS Drops But Still Dominates

Posted on 2010/10/16 | Leave a comment

(for Friday, October 15, 2010) Celebrating an impressive 200 episodes, The CW’s ‘Smallville’ was the number one show in the 8 PM hour in the advertiser’s Adults 18-49 demographic. With ‘Outlaw’ banished to Saturdays, NBC can now start worrying about the horrible premiere of ‘School Pride’ at the top of the night. Nothing is working for that network this year.

CBS (1.5/5, 8.66 million) easily took the night, despite all three shows continuing to decline. The CW (1.3/4, 2.99 million) rose to second in the demo thanks to ‘Smallville’s gains helping ‘Supernatural’ as well. NBC (1.1/4, 4.26 million) has to be considering three hours of ‘Dateline’ at this point, while ABC (1.1/4, 4.22 million) is doing well enough with repeats and ’20/20.’ Poor FOX (0.8/3, 2.5 million) is just failing miserably on Fridays.

So what’s in store for the third season of ‘Sanctuary’? Who the hell knows, we’ve got a three-parter to get through first. We’ll save what’s to come for next week. For now, Will’s on the verge of death, Bertha sent a massive tidal wave toward the Sanctuary ship, and well … Wexford is a jackass. But we knew all of that before. The question is how to survive it.

The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, “The Snooker Player, the Black Canadian, the Turkish Terrorist and the Peanut”

Posted on 2010/10/16 | 2 Comments

'The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret' - 'The Snooker Player, the Black Canadian, the Turkish Terrorist and the Peanut'Identifier: Season 1, Episode 3
Air Date: Fri., Oct. 15, 2010 (10:00 PM)
Network: IFC

The opening seconds of each episode have included a list of charges in a courtroom being read aloud about Todd, and one had to do with child pronography. I think we got the genesis of that charge this week and more questions arose for me as to what the deal is with Dave. He seems to be maliciously and viciously trying to destroy Dave at every turn.

Network: The CW

Castiel last week, and Bobby this time around. We got a good, deep look at what it’s like for Bobby to be at information central for so many hunters out there. He has a special place in his heart for Sam and Dean, but they do take him for granted. This week we got to see what a badass Bobby can be, and he even finally stands up and like a real man learns how to ask for help.

'Generator Rex' - 'Gravity'Identifier: Season 1, Episode 14
Air Date: Fri., Oct. 15, 2010 (8:30 PM)

In space, no one can hear you fighting with a sentient A.I. bent on destroying more than half of humanity. Luckily, Rex isn’t in in it for the glory, but rather to save lives … his own included. And perhaps more importantly, Dr. Holiday’s life.
