TV World Longs For Ratings Power Of NFL

Sunday, February 5th, 2012 |

NEW YORK — The biggest of stars is off to a slow start this season. “American Idol,” that reliable ratings juggernaut, had a drop in viewership of more than 15 percent for its first two episodes back, underscoring how rough it is to attract and keep a devoted following when there are so many entertainment options. Not so for the NFL.

Laura Prudom: ‘Supernatural’ Recap: Dean Meets His Daughter In ‘The Slice Girls’

Saturday, February 4th, 2012 |

Note: Do not read on if you have not seen Season 7, Episode 13 of The CW’s “Supernatural,” entitled “The Slice Girls.” I’m of two minds about this week’s ” Supernatural ,” which made the somewhat questionable decision to revisit the basic theme of one of this season’s most divisive episodes, “The Girl Next Door.” In that hour, Dean was forced to kill Amy, one of Sam’s childhood friends (or a girl that he’d known for a matter of hours, depending on how you chose to look at it) because she was a “monster” who had killed humans — deserving or not — and would likely do so again. In this hour, the roles were reversed, and Sam was forced to kill Emma, a girl who was genetically Dean’s daughter, but also a girl he’d known for less than a matter of hours. As some of you may recall, “The Girl Next Door” sparked a firestorm of comments in Mo Ryan’s recap , some arguing in favor of Dean’s decision, others decrying it as character assassination

Laura Prudom: ‘Nikita’ Recap: Percy Changes The Game In ‘Clean Sweep’

Saturday, February 4th, 2012 |

Note: Do not read on if you have not seen Season 2, Episode 13 of The CW’s “Nikita,” entitled, “Clean Sweep.” It’s no wonder that ” Nikita ” showrunner Craig Silverstein has been referring to this episode as “Game Change 2,” since “Clean Sweep” managed to realign many allegiances going into the second half of the season. Percy has finally escaped from his Magneto-esque plastic prison, Oversight is all but eliminated, and Nikita and Michael are faced with the possibility of a real happy ending — something that our heroine didn’t actually seem all that enthusiastic about. As much as Nikita has been searching for a home and a sense of identity this season, many of the peripheral characters have been repeatedly emphasizing the fact that she’s a “killer,” that she was “born for this” and that she really has no idea how to be anything but an assassin

David Finkle: First Nighter: NBC’s Smash Is No Such Thing, Leading-Lady Katharine McPhee Is

Friday, February 3rd, 2012 |

When Katharine McPhee was heading towards her number-two finish on the 2006 American Idol season — and singing “Over the Rainbow” with full-blast passion at least twice — it was as obvious as her Boston Conservatory past that the incipient diva’s true destination was not pop-charts prominence but Broadway. And now it looks as if she’s aimed directly there.
