    S01.E01: Who Are These People?

    in You, Me And The Apocalypse [V]

    It wasn't a sit-com.  Maybe that's why a lot of Americans didn't like it.  I'm American and I loved it!!  Subtle humor - no belly laughs or laugh-track needed.  Compelling characters (Rob Lowe as a priest who swears, smokes, and takes a nip from a bottle in his desk? - Fabulous!  Ah, if only more priests in my Catholic upbringing were as human, I might still be going to church.  *Might*.)

     

    To be fair, it wasn't very popular in the UK either. After drawing 1.28 million for the premiere, they were down to an average of only 600,000 for the final 7 episodes (equivalent to 3 million in the US). On NBC, the premiere drew 5 million with a 1.2 in the demo. That's not bad for an NBC show, but we'll see what happens in the following weeks. Since it's a joint production between NBC and Sky 1, it was cheap for NBC and they'll likely air all 10 episodes even if the ratings tank. With NBC struggling, it could even be renewed if it doesn't drop too much in the demo.

     

    I found the premiere intriguing, but I'm not sold yet.

    S03.E12: Exsuscito

    in Ray Donovan

    So did Ray die?  Is he halucinating this?  Is this the ending of the show if it's not picked up?  (I don't know if it was)  The ending had a pretty strong theme of repentance and redemption to it.

     

    The show was renewed last month and was never in any real danger of being canceled. It's Showtime's third highest rated show (behind Homeland and Shameless) and has double the ratings of renewed shows like The Affair, Masters of Sex and House of Lies.

     

    I like the interpretation, though.

    Late Show With David Letterman - General Discussion

    in Late Show With David Letterman

    I was hoping to see Springsteen as a surprise guest on the last show, as he was on Dave's last "Late Night" show on NBC, but it's probably unlikely.

     

    I'm a big Dylan fan, but last time I saw him in concert, he was horrible. A few times, he was playing one of his classic song and I had no idea what it was until a few minutes into the song. Hopefully, the Late Show appearance will be a lot better.
