VIDEO: Is All My Children Getting Canceled?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Daytime, Drama, ABC, Cancellations, Gossip, Ratings, Rumors, Video,
Susan Lucci, soap opera Queen, recently appeared on Good Morning America to talk about the possibility that All My Children’s epic run may be coming to an end. You can hear her comments in the video above. News first broke on TV Squad that ABC was considering calling it quits on the long-running soap.
But, Lucci didn’t have a whole lot to offer on the rumors. “We’ll see,” she said of possible cancellation. Lucci also said the show has many “passionate” fans in its corner. But ratings for the show are dramatically down (34% from last year), and it’s in last place.
And that does not bode well for the soap, which has been on the air since 1970. Lucci has been with the show for its entire run.

Ratings: Paula Abdul’s Dance Against Cowell-Less American Idol
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, CBS, FOX, American Idol, Ratings,
Wednesday night was epic for number-crunchers.
Paula Abdul’s new reality series Live to Dance competed for the same viewers in the same time slot as reality standard American Idol -- which no longer has Simon Cowell behind it. So, which reality series fared better?
Sadly, Abdul didn’t do too well. Live to Dance scored about 1 million in the key 18-49 demographic, compared to Idol’s 9.7.
The reality juggernaut is still down among its target audience, continuing its steady decline. But Idol isn't in serious trouble yet . . . and the same can't be said for Paula's Dance act. In the same time slot last year, sitcom reruns managed to pull down more viewers than Abdul’s reality contest.
The Game Raises Its Game on BET

Sometimes a cancellation can be the best thing to happen to the series.
When The Game was dropped by CW in May 2009, the comedy/drama about football players and their significant others was picked up by BET. That was a record-breaking move.
The first two episodes of Season 4 averaged 7.7 million viewers -- almost 6 million more than it did on the CW -- and set a viewership record for sitcoms on cable.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Ratings, Video,
Saturday Night Live is ringing 2011 in strong.
The show’s first episode of the year, hosted by Jim Carrey, scored big ratings. SNL’s first 2011 installment brought in the biggest numbers for the series since Betty White was the host last May.
The video above features a Black Swan spoof that was definitely one of Carrey’s shining moments on the show.

VIDEO: Should Perez Hilton Be ABC’s Newest Bachelor?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, Prime Time, Reality, Talk Shows, ABC, The Bachelor, Ratings, Video,
Based on the ratings from last night's premiere episode, fans of The Bachelor aren't particularly interested in seeing Brad Womack for a second time. But how would those same viewers feel if the gentleman in question was Perez Hilton?
On last night's broadcast of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the celebrity blogger got his own chance to look for love ... and an an opportunity to get close to host Chris Harrison.
I don't know about you -- but I would definitely be interested in watching this version of the aging show.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, Cable, TNT-HD, Dancing With The Stars, News, Ratings,
-Former Dollhouse star Eliza Dushku has already backed out of a pilot for TNT. "Hey guys! News to report~ We have mutually & AMICABLY decided to part ways on Bird Dog due to creative differences. No worries/fears/tears," she wrote on Twitter.
-Portia DeGeneres has officially turned down an opportunity to be on Dancing with the Stars. The actress was reportedly asked to compete with a same-sex partner.

-The weekend wasn't so bright for David Hasselhoff. A&E's The Hasselhoffs debuted to 718,000 viewers. In comparison the network's other new program, Storage Wars, recently opened to 2 million viewers.
Sarah Palin’s Alaska a Ratings Hit for TLC
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Ratings, Video,
It might be too soon to say whether the curiosity factor will die down, but there’s one thing Sarah Palin can safely claim (for now): her new TLC series is a big hit.
Last night’s debut of Sarah Palin’s Alaska had approximately 5 million people tuning it. That’s the largest number ever for a series premiere on that channel. (Episodes of Jon & Kate have drawn larger numbers.)
The reality program/travel show/political campaign – from Survivor producer Mark Burnett – is scheduled to last another seven weeks (unless, for some reason, Sarah decides to wants to end things early).

Conan O’Brien, Night Two: Heavy Losses Reported
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Late Night, Talk Shows, Cable, Ratings, Video,
Viewers were excited to tune into Conan O’Brien’s Monday premiere … but they weren’t as pumped on Tuesday. Conan’s cable show lost one-third of its viewers in the transition from Day 1 to Day 2.
Maybe Jon Stewart is to blame? O’Brien’s new late night talk show is competing directly with the cable king, and we don’t like his odds. Monday’s Conan scored 4.2 million viewers, compared to 2.8 million the following night. (His rival Jay Leno averages around 3.6 million for his famous network gig.)
Critics were largely unenthusiastic with the Monday premiere. One writer at the Los Angeles Times complained about O’Brien’s endless NBC jokes, a gag that’s running a little thin nine months after the Tonight Show fallout.

The Daily Show is Number One
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Late Night, Talk Shows, Cable, Daily Show, The, Ratings,
Maybe Conan O’Brien shouldn’t get too cozy in his new office at TBS.
The former NBC funnyman will debut his Conan, a new late night series, at 11 pm on Monday … and that means he’s facing the toughest of all late night competition.
According to TVByTheNumbers, The Daily Show is the top-rated late night show among adults age 18 - 49. The numbers are in, and Jon Stewart is officially the king of late night … but during one of the weeks reviewed, The Daily Show, The Tonight Show and Late Show with David Letterman were all showing re-runs.
We have a sneaking suspicion that all Daily Show ratings spikes come just when FOX News hires new staffers.
