Why didn’t last year’s shows with African-American leads do well? Could I have done something to support them? Were ‘Undercovers,’ ‘Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior’ and ‘HawthoRNe’ really that bad?
Football has started, if you count the preseason. The ratings would suggest that about half of you don’t. Over on cable, ‘The Nine Lives Of Chloe King’ wrapped up its first season. Will there be a second?
Another slow week on the broadcast networks was highlighted by a down finale for ‘So You Think You Can Dance’. Over on cable, the future looks bright for TNT’s ‘Falling Skies’, which ended just a tenth below its premiere result.
Last week we were again reminded that a whole lot of people really like ‘Jersey Shore’. The show was easily the big winner for the week. On the broadcast networks, ‘The Bachelorette’ finale was good news for ABC.
While things were mostly quiet on the broadcast front, the big premieres continued on cable. Last week saw the return of ‘Entourage’ on HBO, and ‘Project Runway’ on Lifetime.
With a by-the-numbers week on the broadcast networks, the big stories were on cable, where the Women’s World Cup did very well and the premiere of ‘Breaking Bad’ brought very good numbers for AMC.
