Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Games, Prime Time, Reality, Specials, Sports, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, Ratings,
Although Barack Obama was the most watched person over the five major networks (a combined 26.3 million watched him on CBS, FOX and NBC), Game 5 of the World Series was the most-watched event on one network last night. And while it still lagged behind the political infomercial, Pushing Daisies did get a nice bump from bored voters.
8pm
- Approximately 9.8 million watched Barack Obama on NBC (3.0/8 in 18-49).
- CBS (2.3/6) took in 8.6 million for the political spot.
- FOX had 7.9 million (2.8/8) watching the infomercial on its network.
- The New Adventures of Old Christine (7.6 million, 2.2/6) lost 400,000.
- Pushing Daisies (6.8 million, 2.2/6) rose by 1.1 million.
- America’s Next Top Model (3.9 million, 2.0/6) was off by 500,000.

America’s Next Top Model 11: Planes, Trains and Slow Automobiles
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, America’s Next Top Model,
I was starting to feel like this day would never come. The day when only six remained on America’s Next Top Model 11. (Does anyone even remember the name of the show’s first transgendered contestant??) Just as a reminder, the girls chosen to represent America in Amsterdam were Analeigh, Elina, Marjorie, McKey, Samantha and Sheena. Did anyone manage to embarrass us on their first day there? Read on!

30 Rock Season 3 Premiere: Do-Over - Watch now
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Prime Time, NBC, Internet,
We’re big fans of this whole Internet thing, and we think it’s gonna continue to change the face of television in the next 12 months. Case in point, the ginormous Hulu, which many critics said would fail before it was even in beta. Of course, now, Hulu has proved itself an enormous success, celebrating its one-year anniversary just yesterday.
So, why the Hulu love today? Well, it just so happens that last week, they posted the Season Premiere of 30 Rock. However, that show, subtitled “Do-Over,” isn’t premiering on television until this evening. So, if you used Hulu, you would have had the opportunity to see the entire show, with limited interruption, a week early. Of course, if you prefer your TV in high definition, then you would have have to tune in tonight for that luxury. We’ve embedded 30 Rock: Do Over above - enjoy!
Barack Obama Makes His Statement
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Specials, CBS, FOX, NBC, Editorial, Video,
In a highly presidential fashion, democratic White House contender Barack Obama bought up thirty minutes of network TV time (on several stations, no less) to directly address the American public he hopes to win over. It was all very State of the Union - and incredibly politically savvy. But did his message strike a chord with viewers?
Replete with clips of Obama’s more moving speeches and statements from fellow Democrats along with high-ranking CEOs and others, the half-hour infomercial put Barack right into the living rooms of U.S. voters. There was no stage, there were no other candidates jockeying for position or good sound bites; there was no Sarah Palin or John McCain. It was, all in all, one of the best aspects of the entire campaign season thus far.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Drama, Kids, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Specials, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Dancing With The Stars, House, Ratings,
Maybe CBS has a repeat of Fringe to thank? Whatever the reason, The Mentalist hit a season high last night with its sixth episode. The freshman series then helped out Without a Trace’s numbers. All this activity gave the the network its best Tuesday since December ‘07. Unfortunately, House‘s hot demos meant FOX still had the lead last night in the 18-49 group.
8pm
- NCIS (17.1 million, 3.4/9 in 18-49) did the same as last week.
- House (13.1 million, 5.3/14) killed in the demos.
- ABC‘s presentation of It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (3.4/9) had 10.4 million reminiscing.
- The Biggest Loser: Families (8 million, 3.1/9) packed on 700,000 more pounds.
- 90210 (1.6/4) returned to 3.2 million.

Check Out the New Lost Promo
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Lost, Video,
If Heroes’ flash forwards have you yearning for the mysteries of Lost, you’re in luck.
This intriguing promo for the 2009 season hints at the reunion we all suspect will come. It also leaves with several other questions: What drives the Oceanic 6 to finally go back? Why is Hurley wielding a gun? Where are Kate and Aaron planning to vacation? Why didn’t the remaining castaways drown when their island disappeared? Arrggh!
Is 90s TV the Next Big Fad?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip, Rumors,
A few months ago, it became very “in” for Hollywood to start creating sequels for 80s- ad 90s-era movie series we believed to be long dead. Now, television seems be on the brink of a new trend: 90s TV, revisited. The CW seems to be following one basic theory: hey, it’s working for 90210.
Now, the minds at the network are brewing up another remake/continuation that Aaron Spelling fans are sure to enjoy: Melrose Place, the second time around. Details are sketchy, but a rep for the station has confirmed something is brewing to bring this prime-time drama back to life.
The series, which cropped up during Beverly Hills, 90210 fame, ran on FOX from 1992 to 1999.

Dancing with the Stars 7: Week 6 Loser
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
Last night on Dancing with the Stars, the remaining seven competitors each performed two dances. After completing their individual numbers, the couples then all gathered for a group hip hip number.
By night’s end:
- Two competitors (Cody and Maurice) suffered noteworthy drops from their recent season highs.
- Warren got his third 25 of the competition after the Rumba. That’s a mark he has not yet been able to beat.
- Lance, who was scolded last week for his West Coast Swing, received a 27 for his Jive. Not only was that his personal best - it was Monday’s best. (Brooke only had a 26 for the Rumba.)
- Cloris plunged way back into the teens. Although she had been hovering in the 20’s the past two weeks, she only got a 15 yesterday for her Cha Cha Cha.
