This Weeks TV Recaps & Crossovers

Oct 01, 2008 14:43

Is Terminator: SCC on the ropes? Rumours are buzzing about Production being shut down soon. What? C'mon... I was just starting to get into it.

Prison Break isn't doing all that hot either.

It's difficult to find a positive spin for Fox's Monday offerings. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Prison Break, both of which premiered early in September, each nabbed an identical 5.3 million viewers last night (Monday). That number is well below the shows' '07-'08 averages, 9.8 million and 7.5 million, respectively. What's more, each episode of Prison Break this season has been rated lower than the one that came before it.

Meanwhile, my new shows Fringe (10 million) & The Mentalist (15.3 million) are doing very well.

Fox won the second Tuesday of the television season among young adults behind its combo of House and Fringe which were both up a bit week to week...

Unfortunately, next week The Mentalist gets bumped for the 2nd Presidential Debate. Simon returns October 7th. Fringe is being bumped till October 14. Do we have baseball to thank for that? Ironically, that's the day of the Canadian Federal election. Yeah, we're having one... have you heard? You probably haven't, and this explains why.

Can someone tell me who is watching NCIS (17.2 million)?

The Mentalist

Did you catch little!Michael (Scofield) playing the grieving brother?

I like the dynamic between Patrick & Teresa. They have good chemistry. I didn't know how I would feel about Robin in this role, but so far she's impressed me.

Somebody break the budget and buy Patrick/Simon some new shoes. Thanks.

I'll bet you that Grace (Amanda Righetti) & Wayne (Owain Yeoman) get in on WAY before Patrick & Teresa ever do. I just checked Owain's IMDB profile. He played Lucas on The Nine. Wow, I didn't recognize him at all.

Fringe

This episode got a little creepy. I've seen the bald guy with no eyebrows before. Was it Roswell?

Walter & Astrid's relationship was so cute, and then he had to go mess it up with a syringe.

You're not going anywhere, Peter. Nobody else speaks Walter.

Olivia is growing on me.

We are clearly not seeing enough of Kirk Acevedo.

Lance Reddick has the best voice ever!

John showing up at the end was predictable. We knew you weren't dead, bud.
