Valentine’s Day, drinking, and role playing – Things That Didn’t Suck This Week

Valentine’s Day can either be filled with love or sadness, and that was plainly evident on TV this week. We got hilarious role-playing, lost love, and drunk-dialing: it all seems about right for this holiday.

Ugly Betty has been canceled; how should the series end?

After months of waffling, ABC has finally given the word: Ugly Betty will not be back for a fifth season.

Believe it or not, we have reached the mid-point in the 2009-10 television season. Unlike the past few years, this season may turn out to be one of the most successful. Thanks in part to some new and old comedies. After years of shunning comedy scripts for proceurals and serialized dramas, the networks have filled their schedules with some laughs rather than sobs.

Ratings Clack – January isn’t that far away

The scheduling shenanigans continue as we race toward the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. Last week saw more holiday themed specials, and a lot of repeats. Fortunately, there were a few interesting numbers mixed in with all of the seasonal offerings. Things like big gains for The Middle, which is looking much better now that […]
