Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Everybody Hates Chris, Family Guy, Ratings,
The introduction of two new (yet old) shows on NBC did little to help the network. ABC once again won the Sunday demos and came close to surpassing CBS with the viewers.
8pm
- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition* (3.0/8 in 18-49) pounded out 9.9 million.
- Big Brother 9 (6.5 million, 2.1/6) shrunk by another 1.5 million.
- Monk (1.5/4) debuted with 5.7 million.
- The Simpsons* (5.5 million, 2.7/8) saw a 1.6 million decrease; King of the Hill (5.2 million, 2.5/7) saw a loss of 800,000.
- Everybody Hates Chris (940,000, 0.4/1) trailed off by 360,000; Aliens in America* (870,000, 0.3/1) slipped by 120,000.

King of the Hill Renewed
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Prime Time, FOX, Renewals,
Well - it turns out the number 13 can, in fact, be lucky for some.
FOX has just announced that one of its comedic mainstays, King of the Hill, will be returning to the airwaves fall. Not only will fans be getting a whole new 13-episode set of the program, the upcoming season will mark the show’s 13th year on air.
Although more half hours may later be ordered, the network apparently has what it needs for the time being. The Mike Judge series did not suffer a production shortage due to the writers strike; most of the segments had already been written prior to the work stoppage.
The Sunday staple is positioned only behind The Simpsons as the longest-running animated series ever. The 2008-09 year will mark the 19th year for Matt Groening’s creation.

South Park Episodes Available On Own Site
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Cable, Internet,
Tired of piecing together videos of South Park from YouTube? Well, the creators of the show are too.
To alleviate all the wasted time spent searching, Trey Parker and Matt Stone are offering fans of the show an easier way to keep up with the series. They are now making every single episode of the program available on one site. And for free! In a joint statement, the duo said: “We got really sick of having to download our own show illegally all the time, so we gave ourselves a legal alternative.”
Although the shows are currently running ad free, expect that to change sometime in the near future. Current episodes can also be found on the site though they will experience a short blackout period.
The site (which can be found here) has already had seen several million visitors since debuting last week.
