CBS has a two-hour 48 Hours Mystery. Fox has a new America's Most Wanted. Sunday: ABC has The Sound of Music. CBS has a new 60 Minutes followed by a reairing of the made-for-tv movie Jesse Stone: Thin Ice. Fox starts the night out with two new episodes of Brothers. And NBC has NFL Football, with the Dallas Cowboys playing the Washington Redskins.
TV RATINGS CBS was the only network with a full schedule last week, which explains why they had 15 of the top 16 shows.
Kitchen Nightmares starts January 15th and runs through the May sweeps. Usually Hell's Kitchen runs opposite Kitchen Nightmares, so I'd say it's probably going to be in the summer, if not next fall.
I think this is right. As you see I couldn't find the 18-49 rating for the Saturday football game on the NFL Network. They did say it was the most watched event in NFL Network history.
That was the broadcast television premiere of Ratatouille.
I've seen the commercials for this show which premieres Jan 22 on TLC. It sounds like a family that runs a bingo-hall wrestling shows, other than that its looks ridiculous. Anybody going to watch?
