Latest episode clacks for this show:

Ratings Clack – What the what? Idol is #3?

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?

Ratings Clack – Black Thursday

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.’

Ratings Clack – All she wants to do is dance

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’.

Ratings Clack – Daylight Savings knows kung-fu too…

Daylight savings kicked in and knocked ‘Chuck’, and a number of different shows, for a loop. Meanwhile, over on cable, premieres for ‘Justified’ and ‘South Park’ set some very high marks.

Parenthood – And … I’m out

‘Parenthood’ is only three episodes in, but I’ve had enough. The writing isn’t tight enough, the conflict is aggravating and contrived, and at the end of the day, I just don’t like children. Am I crazy?

Ratings Clack – How do you beat Idol? Oscar.

The Academy Awards was the big winner for the week, managing to top the ‘Idol’ juggernaut. ‘Idol’ was still huge for FOX, while CBS had great showings from ‘2 ½ Men’, ‘Big Bang’, and ‘NCIS’. ‘SVU”s return to 10 PM was a bright spot for NBC.

Parenthood – For a big happy family, they sure have a lot of problems

We’re two episodes into ‘Parenthood’ and the show still feels just a little flat. With lots of story lines, and lots of potential, I’m hoping this show is going to take off soon rather than later.
