The NBA Finals again made for a banner week over at ABC. On cable, HBO execs can breathe a sigh of relief. The return of ‘True Blood’ means someone is watching again. And TV Land found success with their first original sitcom.
The big numbers on broadcast last week came from the NBA Finals and ‘Glee’. Over on cable, Chumlee was a bigger demo draw than even Michael Westen as ‘Pawn Stars’ returned to more great numbers.
The summer television season kicked off last week with premieres from ‘America’s Got Talent’, ‘Wipeout’, ‘Losing It With Jillian’, ‘Hell’s Kitchen’, ‘Burn Notice’, and ‘Royal Pains’.
The recent announcement of NBC’s fall schedule starts to look awfully curious when you consider the recent numbers for some of their returning shows.
It’s the last episode of ‘Happy Town’ for a little while, though it’ll be back next month. For how long, who knows? At least for now, though, we’ve more we can talk about.
On the nights I’m actually able to watch three or more TV shows (whether they’re new, recorded or via DVD), I post my own personal ranking of how each fared against the other. Some spoilers may follow.
I was happy to see that there were more people willing to give this show another chance this week than not. So, was it enough to keep you coming back again, or is this show done for you? The ratings … they’re not so good.
