- Men of a Certain Age (TNT, 10pm): “Joe swings long in his efforts to bond with his son by teaching the youngster the art of golfing.” Tiger Woods’ hiatus has forced a lot of fathers to step up.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Kids, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Talk Shows, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Scrubs, So You Think You Can Dance, Ratings,
A good Day 2 showing for The Sing-Off and a finale for So You Think You Can Dance couldn’t keep CBS from overpowering the competition. The NCIS combo did its thing and gave the network wins in both the viewers and the demos.
8pm
- NCIS (20.6 million, 4.3/13 in 18-49) kicked off the night with 20.6 million.
- The Sing-Off (6.9 million, 2.6/7) actually saw improvement in the demos since Monday.
- A repeat airing of A Charlie Brown Christmas* (2.3/7) entertained 6.6 million.
- So You Think You Can Dance (6.3 million, 2.3/7) did the same as last week.

Tuesday Ratings: ABC was the Forgotten
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Specials, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Scrubs, So You Think You Can Dance,
Last night’s presidential address did little for ABC but a lot for NBC. Yesterday’s episode of The Biggest Loser gave its network a win in the demos. (An absent Jay Leno also helped in that matter.) Meanwhile, a post-DWTS ABC placed fourth in both the viewers and the demos.
8pm
- The presidential address (1.9/6 in 18-49) pulled in 10.2 million for CBS.
- NBC’s political coverage (2.1/6) raised 8.1 million.
- Approximately 7.5 million watched President Obama on ABC (1.7/5).
- FOX (1.8/5) catered to 4.6 million.

Scrubs Returns to ABC in December
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC, Scrubs, News,
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe there’s a difference between “midseason” and “in the middle of the holiday season.”
Although ABC surprised many followers when they renewed Scrubs for a ninth season, the network did something not so surprising to the show: They buried it.
Instead of waiting until after the holiday craziness died down, ABC chose to bring back the comedy during the height of the shopping season. Now the program - which will shift focus from the hospital to the classroom - will have a one-hour debut on December 1.

Casting Corner: CSI, Melrose Place and More
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, ABC, CBS, FOX, The CW, Desperate Housewives, Grey’s Anatomy, Scrubs, Gossip, Rumors, Spoilers,
Here’s a quick look at some of the casting announcements made recently:
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Jorja Fox is having a hard time staying away from the hit series. Despite “leaving” the show over a year ago, she made several appearances last season. Now Fox is scheduled to appear in five episodes of the upcoming season, including the September 24 premiere. Although we are expected to learn “where life has taken Sara Sidle and what brings her back to the CSI team in Las Vegas,” it’s unclear whether William Petersen will be included in that reveal.
