> One network dominated all of primetime last night… FOX:  …and it wasn’t FOX.  You can’t call TERRA NOVA a disaster–a 3.1 rating (slightly adjusted from Mitch Metcalf’s report) is a decent number these days, and the show did hold its audience solidly through all of the 2-hour premiere–but given the massive hype, not to […]

> It was a great night to be ABC. ABC:  With the World Series tricking FOX, it was all treat for the Alphabet.  Noteworthy in the general wave of success was that HAPPY ENDINGS shot to a 3.5, and while that won’t happen again against original programming on the other networks, it means a lot […]
