Ratings Clack – The Prisoner, it’s no Mad Men

The biggest premiere last week came from cable, as AMC finally released their modern take on The Prisoner. I had been planning for months to make a comparison between that and media-darling Mad Men.

Ratings Clack – Should FOX switch Fringe and Lie To Me?

After the dramatic entrance of V last week, there were no similar big splash stories to lead things off this week. Then, as I was perusing the year-ago numbers, something occurred to me.

Reality Clack – Evil Russells, mylar balloons over Colorado

Lately on television, reality shows have really been a bad example of the real reality in which we live. For example, on Survivor: Samoa, we have two Russells. One is definitely an “Evil Russell.” But the Good Russell is exhibiting poor leadership skills — he was the Chosen One to lead his tribe in the […]
