MONDAY (2/1)
- CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm): “A convicted killer (Anthony Michael Hall) on death row receives a 24-hour stay of execution after doubt is cast on his guilt.” New evidence suggests he may have been given that girl’s underpants.

- Damages (FX, 10pm): “Patty and Phil, locked in their bitter divorce battle, find one piece of common ground: their dog.” Phil - if you love the dog, just give it to her. Trust me.

2010 Screen Actors Guild Award Nominations (TV)
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, Cable, CBS, FX, FOX, HBO, NBC, PBS, Showtime, TNT-HD, 30 Rock, House, Medium, The Office, News,
Squeezed in between the Golden Globes broadcast and the Oscar nominations is an awards ceremony voted on solely by the actors. (So unlike the People’s Choice Awards, this actually has meaning.)
For the 16th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, we’ll see a lot of the old and just a little bit of the new. Here are some of the noteworthy mentions from this year’s list of television nominees:
- The Closer, Dexter and 30 Rock lead this year’s pack with three nominations each.
- Despite no individual mentions, freshman comedies Modern Family and Glee were both honored in the Best Ensemble category.
- Samantha Who‘s Christina Applegate received a nomination despite starring in a canceled show.
- True Blood received its first nom—but just for its cast, not for any single actor.
The SAG Awards will air Saturday, Jan. 23 on both TNT and TBS.
(You can find the full list of TV nominees after the jump. Click here for the film nominations.)

Friday Ratings: Big Bump for Betty
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Kids, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Talk Shows, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Medium, Ratings,
Okay, so CBS was in repeats—but I think we’d all accept gifts when we can. A lack of competition helped Friday’s broadcast of Ugly Betty reach its best numbers of the season. Thankfully, the program will be given a new opportunity when it starts airing on Wednesdays in January.
8pm
- Law & Order (8.8 million, 1.7/6) had a long-awaited win in its hour.
- Yes, Virginia (1.3/5) entertained 5.3 million.
- Supernanny (1.3/5) scolded 4.6 million.
- The Big Bang Theory* (1.4/5) contributed 4.6 million to the evening.
- The first hour of Dollhouse (1.0/3) raised 2.7 million.
- Smallville* (0.5/1) averaged 1.4 million over two hours.

Friday Ratings: Dollhouse Down, Betty Up
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Kids, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, Talk Shows, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Medium, Ratings,
Do viewers watch programs they know are being canceled? Based on Dollhouse‘s ratings last night, probably not. The FOX drama returned this weekend to series-low ratings. Elsewhere, fans of Ugly Betty did their best to keep that ABC comedy from the chopping block.
8pm
- Ghost Whisperer (8.2 million, 1.9/7 in 18-49) had the best numbers of the night.
- Muppets Christmas: Letters To Santa (1.1/4) entertained 4.3 million for NBC.
- ABC’s Dreams Come True special (0.9/3) saw 3.7 million tune in.
- Dollhouse (0.8/3) averaged 2.1 million over two hours.
- Smallville* (1.8 million, 0.8/3) added on 200,000.

Friday Ratings: Ugly Night for Ugly Betty
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Talk Shows, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, Medium, Ratings,
A night of repeats didn’t help Ugly Betty‘s long-term survival chances this weekend. Despite a slate of originals for ABC, the network lost out to CBS in viewers. Meanwhile, FOX - thanks to an animated movie - actually won in the demos.
8pm
- Ghost Whisperer* (1.3/4 in 18-49) pulled in 5.6 million.
- Ice Age: The Meltdown (1.4/5) warmed 4.8 million.
- The 40-Year-Old Virgin had 3.9 million laughing for NBC (1.3/4).
- Supernanny (3.5 million, 0.9/3) was down by 1.5 million.
- Smallville* (0.6/2) turned in 1.6 million.

Friday Ratings: ABC Has Animated Evening
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Drama, Kids, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Specials, Talk Shows, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, House, Medium, Ratings,
Would ABC be smart to air cartoons every Friday night? The weekend’s broadcast of Shrek the Third helped give the network a rare tie in the 18-49s. CBS, though, was still a solo winner with the viewers.
8pm
- Ghost Whisperer (8.4 million, 2.0/7 in 18-49) raised another 400,000.
- Law & Order (7.5 million, 1.5/5) remained steady.
- Shrek the Third (1.9/6) attracted 6.3 million to ABC.
- House* (3.3 million, 1.0/4) fell by 200,000.
- Smallville (2.5 million, 1.1/4) also lost 200,000.

An evening without a Rihanna-esque interview is just your typical boring
Friday night. CBS’ lineup easily held off its contenders to win both the viewers and the demos.
8pm
- Ghost Whisperer (8 million, 2.0/7 in 18-48) was on par with last week.
- Law & Order (7.5 million, 1.7/6) dipped by a 1/2 milion.
- Supernanny (5 million, 1.4/5) raised another 200,000.
- House* (3.5 million, 1.1/4) was off by 400,000.
- Smallville (2.7 million, 1.2/4) lost 100,000.
