Thoughts: 06-November-2009

Yankees won the World Series giving them a 27th title. This has to be a sign of the Apocalypse.

Penn State takes on Ohio State at Beaver Stadium in State College, PA. The Nittany Lions are 3.5 point favorites, I like them to win a tough game 17-14.

The New England Patriots play the Dolphins in Foxboro this Sunday, they are 10.5 point favorites, I like them to win 35-3.

Some general thoughts about the current TV season.

1. CBS has killed its dead zone on Tuesday 10 pm with the Good Wife. It helps that Jay Leno replaced Law & Order: SVU which had ruled that time slot. Also helps that NCIS and NCIS: LA are doing very well in the ratings. The Good Wife is not a bad show, but at a different time preceded by different shows, I could see this hit get killed. Look at Shark, good ratings Thursday night 10 pm, moved to Sunday it became DOA.

2. I think that Three Rivers and Cold Case will be axed by CBS after their run is over. Three Rivers not pulling in the ratings and the shows as of late a bit too generic. Cold Case is still a good show but bad time slot is going to kill the show.

3. Eastwick is going to fall prey to the ABC dead zone of Wednesday night 10 pm. Again like Three Rivers, this show is not living up to the promise of its pilot.

4. Fox is going to burn up the remaining episodes of Dollhouse by telecasting episodes back to back in Dec. So no renewal and a quick and sure death for Craphouse. Too bad ABC does not put Private Practice out of its misery.

Oh well.
