CBS Gets its Mid-Season Report Card
The Good: If you’re into gruesome murders, gory procedurals and Chris O’Donnell —which judging from the network’s ratings, an awful lot of you are — CBS is the place to be. But putting aside for a moment the inexplicably popular NCIS, CSI and soon-to-be CRIMINAL MINDS franchises, the Tiffany network has also succeeded in making us laugh. Thanks to a dominant Monday night comedy block (including HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER and THE BIG BANG THEORY) and two massively underrated Wednesday night laughers (We’re here, we’re fans of GARY UNMARRIED, get used to it!)
The Bad: The network that had yet to meet a procedural it couldn’t turn into a ratings smash just did. Not only was Alex O’Loughlin’s now defunct THREE RIVERS dead on arrival, the high profile Julianna Margulies vehicle THE GOOD WIFE continues to lose a worrisome amount of viewers from its powerhouse NCIS lead in. Plus, while THE AMAZING RACE and SURVIVOR remain popular vets of the reality genre, they’ve begun to show their age, lagging far beyond competitive shows such as DANCING WITH THE STARS and AMERICAN IDOL in both ratings and buzz.

Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Things We’re Thankful For [TV Edition]
Our DVR/PVR
Since the major networks inexplicably insist on scheduling many of their most popular shows at the EXACT same time (Only to then wonder, “Hmmm, why are ratings down for FRINGE?”), a PVR/DVR has quickly become the must-own accessory to any living room set-up. So much so that we’ve almost completely blocked out the dark ages of the VCR! Remember those days? When the only way to have a social life (or in our case, watch one show and record another!) was to ‘tape’ shows on ugly and inefficient video cassettes that took up ridiculous amounts of shelf space. Room that is now dedicated to the mortgage payment worth of TV on DVD.
The Current Economic Crisis
If ratings for many of television’s biggest shows are any indication (see the 20 million or so NCIS fans, big numbers for BIG BANG and ABC’s resurgent Wednesday night line-up), there is a silver-lining to the fact that many TV Addicts can no longer afford to spend $80 on a movie ticket, popcorn and dinner. Plus, as an added bonus, networks are being far more patient with high profile low rated fare such as MELROSE PLACE, THE FORGOTTEN and COMMUNITY. All of which are seeing second and third chances to prove themselves so that executives don’t have to risk being the ones responsible for draining millions from the network’s coffers on the next HANK or THE BEAUTIFUL LIFE.
Shonda Rhimes
When showrunner Shonda Rhimes isn’t busy lessening the blow of T.R. Knight’s surprise exit, remedying the lack of screen time for both Meredith and Izzie (Due to Ellen Pompeo’s real-life pregnancy and Katherine Heigl’s insistence on pumping out bland romantic comedies) by cleverly injecting 3 cc’s of fresh blood into Seattle Grace courtesy of the Mercy West merger, or spearheading some truly compelling story-lines for often under-utilized players such as Patrick Dempsey and James Pickens Jr, she is busily working to maintain the upward momentum of interest in her other medical drama PRIVATE PRACTICE. But what we’re most thankful for, is in what we can only assume is her only three minutes of free time a week, Rhimes never ceases to entertain us with her recent twitter addiction that has her verbally sparring with a group of crazed very passionate fans.
