Ratings: 'V' drops, 'NCIS: L.A.' edges out 'Dwts'
11 November 2009 9:43 AM, PST | EW - Hollywood Insider.com | See recent EW.com - Hollywood Insider news »
ABC's V lost 23 percent of its debut audience, and its Adult 18-49 rating sank 29 percent -- but still finished second in its timeslot in total audience. Meanwhile, NCIS and NCIS: Los Angeles improved on their audiences from last week for CBS, and Los Angeles beat out Dancing With the Stars in total viewership despite a much-hyped guest performance by Susan Boyle in the ballroom. NBC's The Biggest Loser averaged 9.6 million viewers from 8-10 p.m. and gained viewership over two hours, while Fox's So You Think You Can Dance dropped viewers during the same time.

The Good Wife Review: "Unorthodox"
11 November 2009 8:31 AM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Alicia Florrick has worst luck with men than Pamela Anderson.
The issues with her husband are well-documented, but on this week's episode of The Good Wife, she was betrayed by her co-counsel. More professionally than personally, but Alicia had grown to admire the fellow attorney that didn't turn out to be an attorney at all.
Read all about it in our recap of "Unorthodox."
The episode was another nice showcase for Julianna Marguiles, who is on her way toward another Emmy nomination.
We doubt we'd nominate the storyline involving Alicia's son for any awards, however. The Good Wife works well as a character study of Alicia, as well as a basic legal procedural. There's not really a need to spice it up with conspiracy theories, especially when they're investigated by a 12-year old.
Keep it simple, CBS. Keep highlighting Alicia's struggle at work and at home and we'll keep coming back for more. »

11 November 2009 5:17 AM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
From giving Alicia Florrick problems on The Good Wife to uttering Emmy-nominated The Big Bang Theory quotes.
The actress, who currently stars on the former CBS drama, will reprise her role of Leonard’s mother in a January episode of CBS sitcom.
The last time Baranski appeared on the show, there was sexual tension between her and Sheldon. Will they actually get it on next year?
You'll have to tune in and find out. The network has not released any information on the episode. »

List of 36th People's Choice Awards Nominees in TV
10 November 2009 6:52 PM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
The vampires are feasting on the nominations list of 2010 People's Choice Awards. Announced Tuesday, November 10 at Beverly Hills' Sls Hotel, "True Blood" is among the shows gathering three nods. The CW's "The Vampire Diaries" follows next with two.
The HBO show takes in almost all the categories possible for one show to achieve, only missing the spot in Favorite Drama Actor. Meanwhile, as a newcomer "The Vampire Diaries" attains the honor to battle it out with "True Blood", "Lost", "Heroes" and "Supernatural" in the category of Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy Show.
However, not only the blood suckers are dominating the list but also the doctors. Representing "Grey's Anatomy" are Seattle Grace medical practitioners such as Patrick Dempsey and Katherine Heigl, and from "House M.D.", it's the chief of Princeton Plainsboro, Hugh Laurie.
In the comedy categories, this year's Emmys winner "30 Rock" fails to secure a slot in the Favorite Comedy but »

2009 People’s Choice Nominees Celebrate Mediocrity, Web Celebs
10 November 2009 2:20 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Who needs critics? Who needs experts? Since the dawn of the internet and the democratization of entertainment, who really needs someone to tell them what is good and what is not good? Clearly, the people who made up the list of nominees below -- the 18 million voters of the People's Choice Awards -- need some assistance. It is sad -- void of great drama such as Mad Men and full of teenie-bopper schlock like Twilight -- but also triumphant, as it makes me feel great about my own job security. Thank you America, for once again proving that you need me. The 2009 People's Choice Awards will air on January 6, 2010 on CBS. For more, including all of the music nominations, check out People's Choice.com. All of the television, film and web-related categories are below.

What are the odds your favorite (or least favorite) show will be canceled?
10 November 2009 11:30 AM, PST | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »
A couple of weeks ago, I did a post about the shows that were "on the bubble," the ones in danger of being canceled. Now AOL TV has given the odds on what shows might not be coming back.
A lot of shows on the list won't surprise us: Hank, The Forgotten, Numb3rs, Gary Unmarried, and 'Til Death (each either gets low ratings or has been on for a while), but there are several that I think will actually make it to a another season, including The Good Wife and Parks and Recreation.

Ratings: Sports, led by Fox's baseball World Series, top the week
10 November 2009 8:16 AM, PST | EW - Hollywood Insider.com | See recent EW.com - Hollywood Insider news »
It's a sporty kinda time out there in TV land, as evidenced by the top two shows on the broadcast networks for the week ending Nov. 8. Fox scored a home run with the final game in the World Series, which saw the New York Yankees beat the Philadelphia Phillies. The game drew 22.3 million viewers on Wednesday night to take the No. 1 position. NBC's perennially high-performing Sunday Night Football franchise—serving up a showdown between the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles—followed right after that in the No. 2 spot with 21.9 million viewers. The highest-rated non-sporting event for the week—and the No. »

CBS Orders More Episodes of Hit Shows, Numbers the Days of Numb3rs
5 November 2009 5:33 AM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
It lasted quite a long time for a show with a ridiculously-spelled name, but Numb3rs is nearing cancellation.
CBS has cut the episode order for this drama from 22 to 16 this season, a clear sign it won't be around in the fall of 2010.
That's bad news for fans of the show, but they can take comfort if they watch other hit CBS programs.
The network has increased the episode orders of How I Met Your Mother, NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles, CSI: Miami, and Two and a Half Men from 22 to 24; it's also requested an additional episode of the following shows:
Criminal Minds CSI: NY The Big Bang Theory The Good Wife CSI The Mentalist »

This just in: CBS trims 'Numb3rs,' orders more 'NCIS' and 'Mother'

A CBS spokesperson is confirming that the network has cut Numb3rs' episode order from 22 to 16. Translation: This is most likely the show's final season. I'm hearing Flashpoint will likely take over the Friday 10 p.m. timeslot in February, although there's been no official confirmation of that. In related news, CBS has upped the episode orders of How I Met Your Mother, NCIS, NCIS: La, CSI: Miami, and Two and a Half Men from 22 to 24, while requesting one additional episode of Criminal Minds, CSI: NY, The Big Bang Theory, The Good Wife, CSI, and The Mentalist, bringing their totals from »

Ratings: V Conquers in Prime-Time Invasion
4 November 2009 3:57 PM, PST | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »
ABC's remake of the 1980s sci-fi miniseries V drew big numbers, the best rating for any new series premiere this season.
V attracted 13.9 million viewers, easily outperforming NCIS (Tuesday's most-watched show with 19.4 million viewers) among adults 18 to 49. It was also the best 8 o'clock debut by a new series since ABC's Lost.
The big boost from V gave ABC — which also aired a Dancing with the Stars results show (14.5 million viewers) and The Forgotten (7.6 million viewers) — a fighting chance against CBS' powerhouse Tuesday lineup. Ultimately, the Eye 's combo of NCIS: Los Angeles (15 million viewers) and The Good Wife (12 million) led the network ...

More Episodes of Accidentally on Purpose to Come
4 November 2009 1:58 PM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Perhaps if Accidentally on Purpose quotes were just a tad bit funnier...
CBS still has not picked up the Jenna Elfman sitcom for a full season, but the network has given it a vote of confidence: five more episodes have been ordered.
This week's episode earned the show its highest ratings since the premiere in September.
Last month, CBS ordered full seasons of its fellow new series NCIS: Los Angeles and The Good Wife. It's not looking good for Three Rivers.
