Is Alex O’Loughlin headed for another CBS cancellation, or will the former Moonlight star live to see another season? The answer might not be so clear right now. Last night’s Three Rivers with guest star Mandy Patinkin reached its best demos to date.
8pm
- Approximately 19.1 million watched the Colts beat the Patriots on Sunday Night Football (7.5/18 in 18-49).
- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (11.6 million, 3.6/9) nailed down 1.2 million more.
- The Amazing Race (11.6 million, 3.2/8) added on 1.1 million.
- The Simpsons (9 million, 4.2/10) did 1.6 million better than last week’s Family Guy; The Cleveland Show (7 million, 3.3/8) hit a demo low.

Aside from FOX’s early celebration of Halloween (and a shift in CBS’ schedule), yesterday’s schedule was pretty uneventful. By night’s end, the Eye network was tops with the viewers while the Peacock network was first in the demos.

Family Guy Spin-off Gets Second Season
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Comedy, Prime Time, FOX, Family Guy, Renewals, Video
After only a handful of episodes, FOX is pleased enough with The Cleveland Show to order a complete second season. (Only 13 episodes beyond this year had been previously ordered.)
Honestly, I’ve no idea why. The spin-off lacks a lot of the hilarity Family Guy brings to the table weekly, and I just cannot get over that German bear. Ridiculous is one thing. Outlandish is quite another.

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.

FOX Reveals Fall Schedule
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Family Guy, So You Think You Can Dance, Gossip, Renewals

With the spring season winding down, the fall season is already waiting to heat up this November. FOX has unveiled their upcoming schedule, so you can anticipate all through the long weeks of summer reality shows.
FOX staples like House, So You think You Can Dance and Bones will all retain their usual weekday time slots, with Fringe and Lie To Me both getting the renewal nod. The musical comedy Glee will appear on Wednesday, right after the Dance results show.
Friday will be a night of new programming for some viewers, as FOX has shifted their much-moved ‘Til Death into this space with two newbies. Brothers will premiere at the top of the 8 o’clock hour, with Dollhouse rounding out the latter half of the 8-10 block.
