Football gave Almost Human a strong start last night. FOX: The network carefully set its preview of ALMOST HUMAN for a Sunday night where FOX had the late NFL game, and the result was a solid 3.1 for the pilot. Of course, tonight’s regular timeslot premiere will be a very different animal, but there’s […]
ALMOST HUMAN: Monday 8PM on FOX (after a Sunday Nov 17 preview) – Worth A Look The ALMOST HUMAN pilot has a whole lot of concept. The show was created by J. H. Wyman, a senior writer/producer on Fringe (the pilot is directed by Brad Anderson, who also directed many Fringe episodes), and the […]
FOX: The debut of FOX’s regular Friday night line-up didn’t go very well. The costs of a Friday move were high for BONES, which plunged 0.8 from this past Monday to a new low 1.2, also down 0.3 from last week’s MasterChef Jr in that slot. It was only able to edge past NBC […]

ABC: All the network’s shows were within 0.1 of their last regular airings. THE MIDDLE rose 0.1 to 2.3, BACK IN THE GAME was similarly up to 1.8, MODERN […]
