What's Playing in the Media Room - October 11
Arrow debuted last night, I haven't watched it yet, but I've heard good things and better yet, the ratings for last night were very, very good.
Where have you seen this Green Arrow before? He made appearances on Heartland, Private Practice, New Girl and Hung. He has even appeared in an episode of the Canadian Super Show, Flashpoint.
Another premiere last night was Nashville, the numbers came back very good as well. Twitter was blowing up in the 10-11 Hour last night in tweet after tweet about this one. Very well recieved so far.
Just looking over the cast of Nashville to see if anything stands out and boy oh boy does it. We have to go way back to 1990 and a little movie called, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Nashville has scooped none other than April O'Neil from Channel 6 News New York City. Then I started looking at who else has played the character. More interesting stuff:
Mae Whitman who plays Amber has voiced the character in the current version of the cartoon. In the sequels, Paige Turco took on the role. You might know Paige from such hits as Person of Interest, Party of Five and NYPD Blue.
On a side note, when you Google Image search April O'Neil Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. There are some versions of the character that I don't remember from the cartoon in the 90's.
The final premiere that I'm going to mention and it got CRUSHED in the ratings last night, Chicago Code. I guess Third Watch fans haven't forgotten. It's till on my pvr as well, yes, I've got a lot of catching up to do tonight.
One last thing, my love for Animal Practice appears to be slipping, anyone else growing bored with it?
So tonight, the debates swing their ugly head and this week they've chosen Thursday to mess around with. That's ok with me, I've already got so much to catch up on from last night I need a light night. Only 6 things tonight. Hahahaa. Sad.
Normally a Thursday for me is 11 shows, so I need all the help I can get. Thankfully Fridays are REALLY light. Like 1 maybe 2.
Just a heads up, the Debates fall on Tuesday next week, share the load across all days. Thankfully CHCH is airing Army of Darkness that night.

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.
