VIDEO: The Office Copies YouTube Wedding Dance

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, The Office, Video

Even if you didn’t The Office last night, chances are you’ve seen the internet sensation that inspired the video above.

Shortly before Jim and Pam said “I Do” (for the second time), the guests at their wedding danced down the aisle to Chris Brown’s “Forever.” (We later learned that Jim purposely planned a Plan B for their nuptials the minute he saw that YouTube clip.)

If you’ve been hiding under a rock somewhere, you can watch the original version after the jump.

Monday Ratings: Trauma Needs Assistance

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Talk Shows, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Dancing With The Stars, Heroes, House, Ratings

NBC needs some help, stat! Yesterday’s series premiere of Trauma did nothing for the Peacock network’s health on Mondays. The medical drama pulled in numbers smaller than last fall’s stinker, My Own Worst Enemy. By night’s end, ABC was on top with the viewers while FOX was 1st in the demos.

8pm

• Dancing with the Stars (16.7 million, 3.7/9 in 18-49) slipped by 800,000.
• House (14.4 million, 5.7/15) had the evening’s best demos.
• How I Met Your Mother (8.7 million, 3.6/10) was down 500,000; Accidentally on Purpose (8.1 million, 3.1/8) lost 900,000.
• Heroes (5.8 million, 2.5/6) gave up 200,000.
• One Tree Hill (2.6 million, 1.2/3) added on 100,000.

Another Epic SNL F-Bomb Moment

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Video

Today, everyone’s talking about an SNL newcomer’s shocking F-bomb. It is amazing that such a thing could happen in today’s times of extreme FCC regulation. But here’s the thing: it’s happened before. When it’s live TV, bloopers of all kinds are going to happen. For those who remember seeing John Belushi tear up the set, Jimmy Fallon breaking up into giggles in almost every skit he was in and Eddie Murphy quickly glossing over a flub while he played a black activist, an SNL mistake is just more entertainment.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sports, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, Amazing Race, The, Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, Ratings

There may have been a wedding on Wisteria Lane, but all the attention was on Cleveland last night. Although they pulled in numbers similar to their May finales, Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters both had their lowest-rated premieres to date. Meanwhile, the debut of The Cleveland Show had the best 18-49 start for any FOX comedy since March 2003.

8pm

• NBC averaged 14.1 million, (5.4/14 in 18-49) for its Sunday Night Football coverage.
• Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (10.5 million, 3.1/8) was down 1.4 million from last fall.
• Approximately 10.2 million (3.4/8) watched the 15th start of The Amazing Race.
• The Simpsons (8.2 million, 4.2/12) was off 1.1 million; The Cleveland Show opened (4.9/12) to 9.4 million.

Hey SNL…What Happened to Darrell Hammond?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Gossip, Video

Today, everyone’s talking about SNL’s new female cast member. She was hired to shake things up a bit, and that she did, by dropping the mother of all curse words live on the show’s 35th season premiere. But Jenny Slate’s oops moment was already eclipsed by Lorne Michaels’.

Where the hell is Darrell Hammond on the Saturday Night Live opening credits, hmm? The actor showed up on Thursday to do his famous Bill Clinton impersonation but was mysteriously missing from the Saturday version of the show. Hammond has served fourteen years with the series to become the most tenured cast member in SNL history…and what? Now he’s out of the weekend loop?

Friday Ratings: Weak Return for Dollhouse

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Talk Shows, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America's Next Top Model, Medium, Ratings

Attention Dollhouse producers - get Summer Glau on quick! Had I not known that Dollhouse premiered last Friday, I would have assumed by the program’s numbers that it was still in repeats. Unfortunately, the Joss Whedon-created series made its return with the lowest demos for any original that evening. (It’s lead-in - Brothers—didn’t fare much better.) To make matters worse, the FOX drama also pulled in smaller numbers than several repeats.

8pm

• Ghost Whisperer (8.6 million, 2.2/8 in 18-49) was down 700,000 from last fall.
• Law & Order (1.3/5) kicked off its 20th season with 6.3 million.
• A FlashForward* repeat (1.5/5) had 4.6 million blacking out.
• Brothers (1.0/4) kept 2.8 million amused.
• Smallville (1.0/4) debuted to 2.5 million.
