What's Playing in the Media Room - October 2nd


Last night was a weird night for me, I'd cut my Monday viewing down by dropping Partners so that left me with a weird gap so I couldn't cue stuff up and clear it off as it records like I normally do. So, as you may have heard I'm currently in a Cosby Show rewatch that I'm loving. So I started watching those instead of actually clearing stuff off the pvr. So I watched a couple of those, great episodes. Oh that Theo, he's such a player. Anyways, watched How I Met Your Mother and almost threw the remote through the television once again. God, that show is so frustrating. Went back and watched yet another episode of Cosby. It was the one where Vanessa is trying to teach Rudy how to write a letter to her mother who is away at Hillman. Went back and was crushed that somehow I forgot to pvr 2 Broke Girls, a quick west coast record later and I hope to be ok. I still haven't checked. I look at the clock and look back at my recordings, Mob Doctor. After the ratings so far, I really don't think Mob Doctor will be on after next week. Everytime the light on my Blackberry starts to flash, I really do expect an email with FOX announcing they've cancelled it. Not yet, but we all know that's coming. More on the ratings numbers later. For now, back to that Cosby show. Is it me, or Pinnocoe or Pinuckle or however you spell it, very similar to hearts? Just saying. So I've done the math and I can jump right on to Castle and catch up with about 5 minute left. Loved last weeks episode, this week. Not so much. It was driving me nuts that everyone is talking about hidden romances, secret loves, bla bla bla. Get on with solving crimes already. If I didn't have Cosby getting me through last night, who knows what would have happened.

On to the ratings. So, ya. That Mob Doctor, 3.46 million viewers or 1 PERCENT of televisions turned on last night. YIKES. The Mob Doctor better call Dr. House.

The numbers for Dancing With the Stars continue to drop season to season and some are wondering if this will be the last year of DWTS.

Revolution was given a full season order earlier today after getting 8.4 million viewers and it's quite strong in the much coveted 18-49 group. Here's hoping they can get some better actors! Twitter reaction to last nights episode was quite good. I'll be checking that out shortly.
