CBS put forth very little effort last night, but still came away with two wins. Although it faced specials, originals, premieres and finales, the Eye network was on top with only repeats.

8pm

• NCIS* (12.2 million, 2.2/7 in 18-49) easily won the hour.
• NBC’s TV’s 50 Funniest Phrases (2.1/6) amused 6.6 million.
• House* (1.7/5) pulled in 4.2 million.
• According to Jim (1.1/3) returned to 3.7 million.
• Reaper‘s finale (2.2 million, 0.9/3) improved 400,000 over last week.

Review: Hitched or Ditched

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, The CW, Gossip

In the midst of between-season re-runs and in place of 90210, The CW managed to sneak in a new reality show. And thus, Hitched or Ditched premiered last night with its pilot, “Bastards Out of Carolina.” Relationships, the possibility of marriage (or a public dumping), family drama and episode titles this titillating? Yeah, it was pretty much a given that this one was going to be good.

In this starter episode, viewers were introduced to the first in a season-long line of couples. For this showing, Hitched or Ditched presented us with CeLisa and Travis. She’s a 26 year old nanny, he’s a 32 year old building contractor. At the top of the episode, they were presented as a couple that’s very much in love…but. She thinks he’s got commitment and jealousy issues; he thinks she’s too much of a wild child and can’t seem to fully trust her. When CeLisa told the cameras that she feels her biological clock “ticking, ticking, ticking,” I felt a shiver of dread.

Like, no wonder the dude’s afraid of marriage.
