Latest episode clacks for this show:

Reality Clack – The Amazing Race, American Idol, Survivor, The Bachelor, Celebrity Apprentice

Well, the CBS heavy-hitters in the reality genre returned this past week. Yes, I’m talking Survivor and The Amazing Race, not Big Brother. Last year’s winter version of BB was only due to the writers’ strike and that show continues to be a guilty pleasure of the summer. That’s just as well. When all three […]

Ratings Clack – Dollhouse has a disappointing debut

(2/8 – 2/15) What do you think? Is disappointing the right word to use in the post title? Reading the chatter around the internet over the weekend, there are certainly various spins on the Dollhouse numbers that try to paint them as a success. But really, if you have to spin the numbers and start […]

Reality Clack – Hell’s Kitchen, The Bachelor, American Idol, Survivor

Ah, this week two of my favorite reality shows return — Survivor and The Amazing Race! But, just because they’re not on yet doesn’t mean the reality TV genre fan has nothing to watch. Nosirree, Bob!

Ratings Clack – Lost premiere is bigger than ever!

(1/12 – 1/18) No. Not really. In fact, it was the lowest rated premiere the show has ever had. Somehow though, ABC managed to massage those numbers so much that they felt ok producing a promo that called it bigger than ever. It’s lipstick on a pig. DVR, streaming, illicit downloads, no matter what spin […]

Reality Clack – American Idol, The Bachelor, America’s Best Dance Crew, Survivor

There’s one man reaping all kinds of benefits from reality television. Nah, I’m not talking Ryan Seacrest even though he seems to be everywhere. I think his everywhere bit is fading a tad these days. Nope, I’m not talking Simon Cowell, either. I’m talking about Randy Jackson. Yo, Dawg, check it out — he’s not […]

Ratings Clack – Idol storms back, Patrick Jane doesn’t care

(1/12 – 1/18) Yes, of course, the big story this week was the return of American Idol. It didn’t disappoint, from a numbers perspective. Both installments easily won their nights. We all expected that though, right? The more interesting bit of the Idol story was the effect the show had, or didn’t have, on the […]
