Another week of bloodshed in the ratings where nobody was safe. Even ‘Idol’ took quite a hit, which at least suggests that we could be approaching a time where ‘Idol’ is just another show.
The summer’s not quite here yet, but that doesn’t mean we’re not all looking forward to the return dates of our favorite summer shows. Here’s a list and calendar we’ll keep up-to-date of what’s coming and when, June through August.
The singing kids of ‘Glee’ returned to FOX and rode the ‘Idol’ wave to huge numbers. Over on cable, Discovery had a return of their own as the men of ‘Deadliest Catch’ opened a new crab season.
ABC and CBS went with the old double-team, using ‘Dancing With The Stars’ and the NCAA Championship to knock ‘Idol’ all the way to third in viewers last week. Elsewhere, what’s up with those ‘Justified’ numbers?
Last week brought good news for our friends over at ‘Castle’, and bad news for every show on Thursday. Over on cable, TNT and USA went all girlpower on us, bringing back ‘Saving Grac’e and ‘In Plain Sight.’
The big story this week was the return of ‘Dancing With The Stars’. The show was just a whisker away from ‘Idol’ in total viewers, and propelled ‘Castle’ to a big win against ‘CSI: Miami’. Over on cable, everybody loves Discovery’s ‘Life’.
TV shows may come and go, but we can always imagine what an ideal night’s lineup might look like. Let’s take a look at the dream weekend on CBS.
