Cold Case – 12 million viewers, so where’s the love?

No, I haven’t run out of original title ideas. As some of you may have seen, I recently wrote a similar post about the plight of the highly rated but severely overlooked NCIS. The truth is that your response to my article left me pleasantly surprised, while at the same time thinking about all of […]

Cold Case – Skeleton in the duck pond; more than a brush with death

(Season 6, Episode 14 – “The Brush Man”) It was an entirely different world back in 1967.

However, online TV listings call it “Lotto Fever.” Therein lies the confusion. I personally prefer “Lotto Fever.” But I think “A Lotto Reasons […]

Ratings Clack – The slow grind to the end of the year

(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. Elsewhere, it was a mish-mash collection of […]

The Week in Clack – Battlestar, Supernatural, the last of the holidays

Week of December 20 through December 27 Clever, insolent, creative, irreverent; even a little twisted. I speak of the writers here at CliqueClack, and the unique posts they churn out day after day. How could we let seven days go by without highlighting some of the week’s gems? The week of Christmas brought the last […]
