Daily Rerun Round-Up – Mental, In Treatment, Kardashians
Whether you’re into reality fare or highbrow TV, there’s a little bit of everything in tonight’s rerun selections. Take a look:
Mental, Fox, 9 p.m. If you missed the pilot earlier this week, check this show out. It’s sort of like House, only with a small-town psychiatric doc who comes to work at a big hospital. Highlight: He gets naked in front of the entire staff on his first day.
In Treatment, HBO, 11 p.m. There are three episodes tonight, including the finale. With Gabriel Byrne as the lead actor, it’s hard to focus on this show about a therapist and his patients. But like most HBO shows, it’s superb and really delivers the goods.
Ratings Clack – Following Lost is the new Friday night
(1/19 – 1/26)
The subject of the Friday night death slot comes up fairly regularly around here. Moreso recently, what with the Terminator/Dollhouse debut right around the corner. I’m not one to argue in the face of so much damning evidence, but I do think there is a plucky young upstart with eyes on the crown. Life On Mars made it’s debut following Lost this week, and it just wasn’t good. Barring some drastic change in the numbers, or an odd act of kindness from the network, it’s looking like the island is ready to take its next victim. Elsewhere this week, Idol continued to roll, NCIS & CSI scored big, and The Bachelor was up, again. Read the rest of this entry »
Ratings Clack – Eli Stone vs Aqui y Ahora? It’s a draw.
(12/30 – 1/04)
Christmas and New Years are now in the rearview, so we can finally start getting back to something that passes for a regular television viewing schedule. If someone could just make this damn snow stop, I’d be a happy guy. Before we rejoin some of our favorite shows for the beginning of 2009 though, we’ve got one more really slow week to talk about. The hits were few and far between, but there were a couple interesting bits hidden away in there.
