Latest episode clacks for this show:
The big news on the networks was ‘American Idol’ falling to third place in viewers and the demo. Over on cable, the premiere of ‘Eastbound & Down’ could do nothing to stop the freight train that is AMC’s ‘The Walking Dead’.
While our hearts broke for Richard as he struggled with caring for Adele, at least there was ironic humor in the fact that McDreamy couldn’t style his daughter’s hair.
The big news on the broadcast networks last week was the huge ratings for the ‘Grammy Awards’. The death of Whitney Houston brought viewer levels the show hadn’t seen since the ’80s. Over on cable, the amazing run of ‘The Walking Dead’ just keeps going. The latest premiere finished even higher than the last one.
Other than Cristina and Owen’s marathon therapy session, this episode of ‘Grey’s’ wasn’t one of my favorites.
Another record setting ‘Super Bowl’ was the big event last week. But for our purposes here, the more interesting results concern the premieres of ‘The Voice’, ‘Smash’, and ‘The River’. One of those is not like the others. I’ll bet you can guess which one.
A car crash, an unexpected death, regrets, an angry widow, a wife addled by Alzheimer’s, a marriage potentially ending. Yeah it was a gloomy Valentine’s Day at Seattle Grace.
‘Big Bang Theory’ continued its fabulous run, topping ‘Idol’ in the demo again, and hitting a series high for good measure. Over on cable, HBO debuted ‘Luck’, to lackluster results, and then promptly renewed it.
