May 13th, 2008 — CSI, Survivor, Dancing with the Stars, Sopranos, House, The Office
Fox scored big with "House" last night, which was second overall in the ratings (behind "Dancing with the Stars") and tops in the 18-49 demo advertisers love. (TV By The Numbers)
"American Idol" returns with the final three tonight, but Fox can’t be too thrilled with last week’s numbers. And despite the excellent backstabbing that went on, CBS’ "Survivor" finale on Sunday didn’t even make the top 10. (AP)
"The Sopranos" on iTunes. For a price, of course. (Reuters)
A spoilerrific report on Gary Dourdan’s final until after the big rehab "CSI" appearance on Thursday. (Buddy TV)
"The Office" last week had the biggest DVR audience seen so far - a whopping 43.4% ratings increase from "live viewing only" to "live + 7 days." (TV By The Numbers)

April 29th, 2008 — Dancing with the Stars
Cristian De La Fuente pulled a muscle halfway through his routine on "Dancing With The Stars" last night, but the real surprise is that anyone watches that crap.

April 16th, 2008 — 90210, Dancing with the Stars, Project Runway, House
Maureen Ryan has an awesomely substantive interview with "House" producer David Shore that gives a lot of info if you read carefully. Supposedly this is only part of the interview, too. (The Watcher)
Jenny Garth is out of the "My Best Friend’s Girl" comedy pilot, leading to speculation that she may reprise her "90210" character, Kelly, in the new version of that show. Writer Rob Thomas was said to be seeking her. (Hollywood Reporter)
Just one problem. Thomas is stepping back from the "90210" gig to focus on his two other pilots (for ABC), so Fox is looking for a new showrunner. (E! Online)
CNN knuckles under and apologizes to the Chinese after Jack Cafferty tells the truth about their government. Did Rupert Murdoch buy CNN and I missed it? (Reuters)
"Dancing With The Stars" ratings drop even as Priscilla Presley is punted. (Hollywood Reporter)
Bravo talks about its upcoming shows, including the last of […]

April 15th, 2008 — ANTM, Dancing with the Stars, Hell's Kitchen, Top Chef, American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance
The Boston Globe has a funny story this morning analyzing what might be key moments for contestants on shows like "American Idol" and "Dancing With The Stars" - when they react to the judges’ comments. Snap back and you could end up looking like a bitchy diva who ought to be voted off. Hello, Danny Noriega! Or rather, goodbye, Dan-o! But sniffle and confess all your failings and cheerfully accept Simon’s abuse and you could end up looking like, well, Brooke White. The story has put me back to thinking that maybe "sheepish talent" David Archuleta (right) will pull it out over rocker David Cook after all - Cook’s slightly odd approach to the judges might not go over as well with 12-year-old girls "Idol" voters as well as Archuleta’s wide-eyed, grinning, You mean I really am good? look. Although seeing it week after week it’s getting a little hard […]

April 13th, 2008 — Dancing with the Stars
If her Barbie doll looks and killer dance moves aren’t enough, then I have another reason for you to hate Dancing with the Stars champ, Julianne Hough - the girl can sing. We aren’t talking the next Babs, but she’s not Paris Hilton either.
Her debut single, “That Song in My Head” maybe not be […]

You have got to be kidding me. Adam Carolla dressed up like Homer Simpson in disguise as Esteban De La Sexface?
This is dancing? No. This is just stupid. Then again, I’ve always found Adam Carolla irritating, so what the hell do I know?

April 7th, 2008 — Dancing with the Stars
"DWTS" is featured in next week’s New Yorker, which means more or less that it’s become enough of a pop-culture phenomenon to merit attention from the sorts of people who only watch reality TV to figure out what "average Americans" are thinking. It’s a very intelligent piece of writing, but perhaps too clever for its own good:
"In the end, the show is not really about dancing; it is about toil and
suffering. Each routine is typically only a minute and a half long. In
other words, on an episode with six couples, only nine minutes are
devoted to dancing. The rest of the time is devoted to the Greek
tragedy that, at least for the women, supposedly surrounds the dance
performances: the rehearsals, the judging, the ‘eliminations.’"

"American Idol" still rules the ratings, but punting the big guy and the skater was good for "Dancing With The Stars." (AP)
Hey, with all the 1987 songs they sang last night on "Idol," how come nobody did Rick Astley’s "Never Gonna Give You Up?" The LA Times says it’s the hot new/old thing. (LAT)
Jane Seymour as a crime-solving Martha Stewart clone? It’s on Hallmark, too. Sounds grrrreat! (TV Squad)
And to thank you for reading this far, here’s David Cook’s awesome rearrangement of "Billie Jean" from last night’s "Idol":

Happy Neil Patrick Harry Day St. Patrick’s Day to my fellow Irish lads and lasses. It’s not often that I wake up on a Monday morning so enthusiastic to start the day. But there’s a lot to be happy about today.
First I don’t have to get up and go to work because I’m on […]
