Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Games, Music, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Ratings

The fall season hasn’t officially kicked into high gear, yet 90210 and Melrose Place are already coming up short. The sophomore drama debuted to nearly 2 million less than it did last year. Meanwhile, the freshman entry attracted a smaller number than Privileged did last September. (Note: CW has since canceled Privileged.)

8pm

• An NCIS* repeat (10.7 million, 2.1/6 in 18-49) was the hour’s largest draw.
• Hell’s Kitchen (7.6 million, 3.5/11) had the night’s best demos.
• America’s Got Talent* (1.5/5) got NBC warmed up with 6.8 million.
• Shark Tank* (1.1/3) attacked 3.4 million.
• 90210‘s debut (1.3/4) pulled in 2.6 million.

FOX Finds Love for Those with More to Love

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, FOX

If the thought of being compared to Size 0s has kept you from finding your own Bachelor, there may be an alternate solution.

Earlier this year, Tyra Banks announced that women 5’7” and under would finally get their chance at the America’s Next Top Model crown. Now FOX is embracing another overlooked category for its newest reality show.

Executive producer Mike Fleiss (The Bachelor) will be teaming up with the network for More to Love, a dating program “that reflects what most real single men and women look like.” The central figure, who has been described as a “Kevin James-type,” will be paired with “several confident and secure plus-size women” during the series.

This isn’t, of course, the first “romance”-related program to hit FOX. Previous entries include My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance and The Littlest Groom. No start date has yet been set for More to Love.
