Season finales have come and gone which leaves me with one question:
What's on TV?
(I know some [or all] of you might be thinking, its summer, shouldn't you be doing something outside instead of watching TV? And yes I should, but TV is my weakness, I love it, I love it, I love it!!!!)
So, now the answer to the question.
For Tuesday May 26, 2009 (according to EW.com) here is what America Watched:
| Time | Show | Viewers (in Millions) |
|---|---|---|
8 p.m. | NCIS (CBS) TV's 50 Funniest Phrases (NBC) House (Fox) According to Jim (ABC) Reaper (The CW) | 12.2 (repeat) 6.6 4.2 (repeat) 3.9 2.2 |
| 8:30 p.m. | According to Jim (ABC) | 3.6 |
| 9 p.m. | The Mentalist (CBS) Mental (Fox) Diamonds (ABC) Hitched or Ditched (The CW) | 12.3 (repeat) 5.8 3.1 1.5 |
| 10 p.m. | Without a Trace (CBS) Law & Order: SVU (NBC) | 9.6 (repeat) 6.4 (repeat) |
What do I see here? Repeat, repeat, repeat.... BORING! (but mad props to CBS for pulling in 12.2 and 12.3 million people for repeats of both NCIS and The Mentalist.)
I do have a theory though: Fox, NBC, and ABC all put shows online and CBS does not. I have cursed them many, many times for not doing so, but I guess if you can show repeats of shows and still pull in more viewers than the other networks combined, you are probably doing something right.
So, what am I watching this summer?
The Bachelorette -- I think Jillian is wayyyy cute, however these guys are wayyyy weird, what is up with that?!?
So You Think You Can Dance -- (Its actually on right now as I type) I really enjoy this show, and if I remember correctly I tried doing pirouettes in my mom's living room when the show premeired in 2005 and ended up twisting my ankle. [Have I mentioned that I took Ballet for a grade in college and got a B? I did, it was wayyy fun, but I think I was in it more for the legwarmers, which I sported daily]. Anyways, as much as I love the show, I HATE the beginning auditions, get to the choreographed routines already!!!!!
Wipeout -- So technically it is on right now as well, but I had a decision to make and SYTYCD ended up getting my vote. What can I say about this show? Giant Red Balls, that's it. Its hilarious, watch it when you need to laugh.
...and I'm thinking about checking out Fox's Mental. (I mean it only drew in 5.8 million on Tuesday, but hey, I like me some TV!)
Did I really just list 3 reality competitions? Yes, yes I did. That's how I roll in the summer. If evil Dick didn't win Big Brother 2 years ago, you can bet I would be DVR'ing it (if I owned a DVR that is), but he did win and I completely lost my faith in the show...but honestly, its Big Brother, its reality TV, its on 3 times a week, and you can watch 24/7, which is just way creepy so I think its ok that I'm not going to be tuning in this summer season. (unless they bring the guy back from Urbana, OH [close enough to my hometown], then I'd totally be down.)
And a special shout-out to my great friend Kris! Happy 24th, I know you'll always hold it against me that I'm 6 months older than you!!!
Now I'm off to drink some Oolong tea, my favorite! :)
i watched mental on tuesday. it was fairly good. i wasn't totally watching the whole time but i think it might be worth watching again. just thought i'd let you know ;)
ReplyDeleteyay for tv!! i've been catching the reruns of cold case when i see them on, and then lots of wedding shows (my weakness) i can't wait for SYTYCD to actually start the competition! and did you see- the new moon trailer is out! it looks really good!!
