High five!

House is still the king of Mondays although it was down 0.1 in A18-49. CBS has still great Mondays with the comedies (The three of them improving week-to-week). As Barney would say, that's a Freeze-frame high-five. NBC is still in trouble even if Heroes was up from 2.3 to 2.4. When you grow up and you are still in trouble, then it means you are in bigger trouble than you thought. Sorry NBC I won't say you deserve it but that's probably Karma for canceling Southland even before it premired its second season.

It seems FOX has find a good lineup for Wednesdays and very stable. Both Glee and So You Think You Can Dance (why can't they name the shows shorter, like Glee!) repeated ratings in A18-49. ABC's comedies on the other hand slipped from last week. I'm interested in seeing how Cougar Town performs because although I liked the first episode, I didn't enjoy too much the second and I'm afraid that the ratings will down as well as the quality of the show...
I'm curious how The CW will understand Melrose Place ratings. Would they understand them as 1.3 adding repetitions 0.5 plus original runs 0.8? Or maybe they'll see them as a bad 0.8 on the original runs and an even worse 0.5 on repetitions...We'll have to keep watching (the ratings....and the show).

Down, down, down...

2009-10-06T08:55:00.000-07:00

All lineups down except for ABC with the boring DWTS and Castle. I read that in Minneapolis and Milwaukee, ESPN’s Monday Night Football broadcast was simulcast on the local ABC affiliate. That could be a reason why ABC's numbers were better this week than last week. We'll have to wait for the final numbers to check. I would also like to see ESPN's numbers to see if people turned to cable or they just turned off TVs yesterday. Awful result for NBC with Heroes and even worse for Trauma. With those numbers Leno couldn't do a thing (who would?). Anyway, maybe people just DVR'd Leno to watch it at 11pm as I read many peple was doing (funny that NBC moves Leno from 11pm to 10 pm only for people to record it and watch it later again).

From American Ryan

In short. Simpsons up and Desperate up (thank god). The rest down (well, more or less...hahahaha) :D
BTW, not a very good start for Three Rivers. As I read somewhere else, if it where NBC it would be good but for CBS...cancellation soon.

Thursday's Anatomy

2009-10-03T04:49:00.000-07:00

Another Thursday and another victory for ABC and Grey's Anatomy. Although Grey's won the night, it lost a couple million viewers and some points in A18-49. CSI could maintain its numbers and only dropped 0.1 in A18-49. I wonder if FOX is happy with Fringe results though. I think Fringe would work much better on Mondays after House, but as long as they keep airing new episodes, I don't mind what they do. Flashforward still did good tying Survivor in A18-49 and almost in viewers. It was 10% in the demo against last week but still strong. Any bets on how much it will drop next week or how much it will raise? Having not Grey's Anatomy at 10pm was good for CBS and The Mentalist (up 12% from last week).

Glee-lliant!

2009-10-01T08:58:00.000-07:00

Yesterday night basically everything dropped 10% (even Mercy), except Cougar Town (4.3 -> 3.6) and Eastwick (3.0 -> 2.4), which dropped ~20% in the demo. I hope Cougar Town doesn't keep falling next week because first episode looked entertaining. On the other hand, Glee was back above 7M! Exactly 7.324 million viewers, 4.4/7 HH, 3.2/9 A18-49, 3.6/11 A18-34, 5.1/15 W18-34. That was Glee's best numbers since September 9 premiere! I'm glad for that!

Dreams come true

2009-09-30T08:40:00.000-07:00

Press Release

Maranello, 30th September 2009 - Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro announces that it has reached an agreement with the driver Fernando Alonso. The agreement covers three racing seasons, starting in 2010.

The Scuderia’s driver line-up next season will therefore be made up of Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso, with Giancarlo Fisichella in the role of reserve driver.

Kimi Raikkonen will leave the team at the end of this current season, after what has been a rewarding and fruitful partnership, which saw him win the Drivers’ title in 2007. He also played a key role in Ferrari’s taking of the Constructor’s title that same year and in 2008.

“We are very proud to welcome to our team another winning driver, who has demonstrated his amazing talent by winning two World Championships in his career to date,” said Stefano Domenicali. “Of course, we wish to thank Kimi for everything he has done during his time with Ferrari: in his first year with us, he managed to win the Drivers’ title, thus making his contribution to Ferrari’s history and he played a vital role in our taking of the Constructors’ title in 2007 and 2008. Even during a difficult season like this one, he has demonstrated his great talent, with several good results, including a great win in Spa and we are sure that we can share more good times together in the final three races of this season.”

“With common consent, we have agreed to terminate the contract binding me to Ferrari to the end of 2010, one year ahead of schedule,” said Kimi Raikkonen. “I am very sad to be leaving a team with which I have spent three fantastic years, during which time I won plenty of races. Together, we have won 50% of the world titles in that period and I managed to take the Drivers’ title in 2007, thus achieving the target I had set myself at the start of my career. I have always felt at home with everyone here and I will have many happy memories of my time with the team.”

Declaraciónes de Alonso sobre su nueva escudería

Me siento muy feliz de poder ser un piloto de Ferrari. Conducir un monoplaza del Cavallino Rampante representa un sueño para cualquier piloto de carreras, y hoy tengo la suerte de poder realizarlo. Quiero agradecer a Luca de Montezemolo, presidente de Ferrari, su empeño por alcanzar este acuerdo. Durante el pasado verano habíamos firmado un contrato a partir de 2011, pero en los últimos días la situación ha cambiado, y hemos decidido anticipar mí llegada a Maranello un año antes.

Todos estos años en Renault han sido fantásticos, juntos hemos conseguido cuatro campeonatos del mundo (dos de pilotos y dos de constructores) y 17 de los 21 grandes premios que he conseguido hasta ahora, han sido con ellos. Deseo a todo el equipo Renault toda la suerte del mundo, y espero obtener en lo que resta de temporada, el mayor número de puntos posibles. Una vez acabado el gran premio de Abu Dhabi, todas mis energías estarán enfocadas en el próximo año: estoy seguro que junto a Felipe, sabremos dar grandes alegrías a Ferrari y a sus muchos aficionados repartidos por todo el mundo.

Does NCIS have limits? I mean, this show grows every week. Not only in viewers but in demos. It's become the new most watched show in America! Is it because CBS picked a good day or because people really like it? I don't know the answer, the thing is, it has its own spin-off and is working very good too. Mysteries of TV I guess.

FOX brings viewers to House

2009-09-29T10:08:00.001-07:00

Good numbers for House again which led FOX to a victory (not in viewers) but in demos. Disastrous night for NBC with both Heroes and the series premiere of Trauma. They should really start thinking about something else or raising Leno's salary and let him get the 8-10pm slot. Viewers down for How I Met your Mother but demos up, so that's fine for me. Both viewers and demos down for DWTS (which is perfectly fine for me too. Hahahaha). Unbelievably TBBT grew even more and scored more than 13 million viewers and 5.1 in the 18-49 adults. That's amazing (and I think another series high!) Both shows on the CW grew a bit but not much. I just hope the women 18-34 ratings are high enough to keep the shows on air (or at least Gossip Girl).

What's your favorite neighborhood?

2009-09-28T09:58:00.001-07:00

Apparently people prefer Spooner Street against Wisteria Lane (or at least young people). Great numbers for the Family Guy season premiere. It was very competitive even against the football on NBC. In general FOX night was very good. Even Brothers repeat had better numbers than the premiere on Friday. That should give the networks a warning that maybe numbers on Friday are not as good not because of the shows but because people just don't watch TV on Fridays. Problems for ABC because Desperate Housewives premiere was the lowest ever (I'd like to wait for next Sunday to see if the numbers go even lower or they maintain). Good numbers also for the Cleveland show premiere. I heard bad comments for the show so let's see if next Sunday it's still as competitive as this last Sunday was.

Fridays still

2009-09-26T10:46:00.000-07:00

We changed season, but Fridays are still the same on TV. CBS wins the night while FOX is still wondering what to do to have a decent night. The CW needed just 2 weeks to cancel "The beautiful life". How many weeks do you think FOX will need to cancel Dollhouse? They really tried to make the show work and they even gave it a second chance this year but...I think it's proven that it does not work.

Epic!

2009-09-25T08:58:00.000-07:00

Wow. I think Thursday's battles are going to be epic this year. First battle ended. Clear victory for ABC. More than clear! Yesterday night ABC was written all over the place. Grey's Anatomy return was big, and bigger than CSI (although CSI did better than last season finale). But what's more, Grey's Anatomy even did better than The Mentalist at 10 pm. The Mentalist was last year most watched new show and I think next week, without Grey's at 10pm, it will do much better. FOX couldn't do much better because Thursdays are a very difficult night and they behave pretty good against the premieres (FOX wasn't having any premiere yesterday). And lastly, Flashforward premiere did very good! Better than CBS Survivor in ratings and even viewers. That's pretty amazing for a new show. Hope next week it keeps doing good.

Great promo of the most anticipated show of the season featuring Adam Lambert's Mad World.

We live in a Cougar Town

2009-09-24T08:52:00.000-07:00

Competitive night the one we live yesterday. ABC and CBS tied in 18-49 ratings while FOX won 18-34 ratings. Great numbers for ABC comedies. They had, although less viewers, better ratings than DWTS. I'm glad to see that show are being this healthy this season (at least for now) because I thought numbers this year were going to be horrible. Glee keeps having a good result in he demos and it's confirmed as the first FOX hit of the season (maybe only one?). Can't wait to see tonight numbers. Flashforward promises to have very good numbers but, how will Grey's anatomy and CSI come back? Thursdays promise to give us much to talk about, as well and Wednesdays, an, oh! Tuesdays, or Mondays, etc...

Ratings are back with a Bang!

2009-09-22T09:56:00.000-07:00

FOX won the night easily both in viewers and demos. FOX numbers were amazing and was the only show with Big Bang Theory to premiere higher. Best news for me are: Heroes and DWTS are down. In fact DWTS had its lowest premiere ever. I never liked DWTS and I'm still waiting to hear from the people that every year after American Idol's premiere say that it is dead because the ratings were down from last season. What about DWTS? Never mind. And Heroes, I know it still has a huge fan base but, I don't like it anymore. It's every year the same. I see cancellation. What's more important for FOX house numbers grew from 8pm to 9pm. We'll have to wait and see how the second episode performs next Monday but, it seems it's going to be another big season for House, but its biggest? Last week Jay Leno opened with more than 17 million viewers and yesterday it just had 5.67 million. That's why we should wait and see. Although I personally think House will go down, I don't think it will be that much.
BTW: Did I say TBBT had its biggest premiere ever?

New song by Carrie Underwood of her new album Play On due to be released November 3rd. This sounds great. This sounds very Carrie Underwood and that's always great to hear. Can't wait to see the video.

U ready for the fight?

2009-08-24T16:05:00.000-07:00

Get ready for this DH's season because it's gonna be tough. Check out the new promo picture for the season. As original as every year. Enjoy it HQ!

Is it ever gonna stop?

2009-08-22T15:47:00.000-07:00

I had never seen a show like this. True Blood is tiring (understand it), there is no rest!!!! Every episode is better than the previous one!!! I don't know if it's because it's based on books, because Alan Ball is the F god among the show creators or .... There can be many reasons, the truth is True Blood second season is even better than the first one. Two captures from episode 8 just to admire them!!!

God!

2009-08-20T14:38:00.000-07:00

This is from two episodes ago so, I guess no one will be spoiled. Anyway, I just can say...OMFG!!

This is Spartacus

2009-08-20T10:42:00.001-07:00

There's a new show premiering this January in Starz that (in my opinion) can be for Starz what True Blood was for HBO (saving differences of course). It seems they are working really hard to make this show a huge hit and I guess from now to January we'll see some promotion of the show. The trailer looks amazing. I don't know how many episodes have been filmed or if they are planing to make more seasons if the first one is successful. It looks very similar to the movie 300 so, if you liked it, give it a try. What's more, people like Sam Raimi are behind this project and it's the comeback of Lucy Lawless to a major role in historic TV since Xena: The Warrior Princess (if you consider Xena as historic as I do, I wish she was historic...someday :D). No more talking, here's the trailer. Enjoy!

Keep 'em coming

2009-08-19T05:08:00.000-07:00

It seems the CW has decided to make the summer even hotter. I hope they give us some hot material also in winter, when we will really need it. ;)

Is it possible to like something without knowing almost anything about it? Yes, it is. And it's happening to me. TBL. The new CW series coming this fall and the re turn of Mischa Barton to acting (because, let's face it, she didn't do anything good since she left the OC). I can't wait to see the premiere on Sept. 16 9/8c. Here it is the official web of the show.

Will they be hottest fall couple? So far, they are! Remember the names Mischa Barton and Nico Tortorella.

Let's Celebrate!

Breaking News!!!

2009-07-27T06:25:00.000-07:00

Ben Silverman, the co-chairman of NBC Universal Entertainment, is leaving the company to start up a new venture in partnership with Barry Diller’s media and Internet company, IAC.

Ryan Seacrest said on his twitter account before this morning, an i quote.

guy that runs nbc- put office biggest looser etc on is leaving to launch a new studio. Bringing together most creative stars and producers

This means better shows from our favorite stars in u.s. and around the world. Ben silverman just filling me in. This is big news in hwood

I think this means household names our favorite stars will get involved. Putting. The power in ur hands to watch anything anywhere anytime

And according to TMZ

Co-Chairman of NBC Entertainment Ben Silverman is bailing from traditional media and going the way of TMZ -- it's all digital baby.

Actually, Silverman is starting a company with Barry Diller. The mission: To integrate digital media with traditional and bring advertisers along for the ride at the very beginning.

Basically, as TV and the internet become one box, Silverman is trying to create a one-stop shopping company that can produce, market, distribute and advertise new media.

Our spies say Silverman's first target is mini-Merv Ryan Seacrest. They're already in talks.

Silverman has exec produced "The Office," "Ugly Betty" "The Biggest Loser" and a bunch of other stuff.

So you think you can improve?

2009-05-22T09:46:00.000-07:00

Refresh my memory just in case I'm wrong but. Has there been any show this season that improved its ratings against last year? Probably there as been some, but I can count them with my hands-fingers. One of them So you think you can dance. And what's more, I can't remember other years numbers but FOX really had no problems beating competition in the demos. I guess FOX executives at Century city knew this and that's why they decided to give this show a chance this fall.

Idol mega-post

2009-05-21T16:19:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to make a post dedicated to the best finale American Idol has ever done. Let's remember some of the best moments of the night.

Wow. What can I say about this moment. When bikini girl started singing I was like "Why do they let this people sing?" although she was easy to look so I didn't complain too much :) But then....Kara appears from the back and just nails it! At the end...well...the photo :)

Definitely best outfit of the night!! It reminded me to the jackets the lead singer of The Killers wears in Human video. I can see Adam wearing this kind of things in the concerts and making just something spectacular.

I remember clearly last year when I wanted David Archuleta to win the season. Cook won in the end, and didn't quite like him but then he released the album and I started to like him. After his performance last night I just have to say that he deserved to win the competition by far. He is a real artist.

I don't know yet if that was the best performance of the night (Queen performance was awesome too) but it was the most spectacular for sure. Those are the moments that make American Idol the best musical TV-show nowadays. Not even the Grammys, CMAs (maybe MTV-VMAs)do something like that. Well done FOX!

I know many people don't like Kara. I hope everyone start liking her after her performance in the finale. I hope she can make some more interviews or even release her new album and all of you can like her as I do. You rock Kara!
And Paula....please!!!! Renew your contract for another year more! I can imagine Idol with new judges, but I can't imagine it without the old ones. Those Simon-Paula moments are unique.

Best line of the finale. "I was gonna ask you what's new but I think I know"
Second best line of the night. "And he kissed back this time" xD

How could I end the post without an explicit mention to him? HE, the one that makes the show as it is. HE, the one that gives us those funny lines and funny moments. And HE, the one who deserves an Emmy this year because of his hard work. The one and only, the maverick, RYAN SEACREST!

Speechless

2009-05-21T16:08:00.000-07:00

I'm speechless. I've just finished watching Idol finale and for me (as Randy would say) that was the best Idol finale ever! The ratings for FOX were exceptional. Incredible 40 million viewers for the last 7 minutes. Just amazing. And the rest of the networks couldn't do anything against Idol. CBS was the only one that was not that much affected but it seems all America was watching Idol finale because Univision got the third position in the demos (yes, before NBC and ABC too!). I loved to read this article. Focus on Mike Darnell words at the end. Unbelievable O_O

Even though the overall audience is declining, “American Idol” appears to be in little danger of losing its crown as the top-rated television series. In the 2003-4 season, the first in which “Idol” was the top-rated prime-time series, its lead over the second place show was about 7 percent. That margin has grown every year since and this year is 66 percent.

Mike Darnell, the president of alternative entertainment for Fox, who oversees “Idol” and other reality shows for the network, said that “Idol” could lose 12 percent of its audience every season and still be among the top 10 shows on television in 2016 — even if every other show on television maintained all of its current audience.

Now the results :)
