"K-Ville" TKO'd
Not bad news for Fox’s new overheated Big Easy cop show, but not exactly good news, either: “K-Ville” debuted to nearly 9 million viewers, but still only managed to take second place, behind a repeat of “2.5 Men.” When the rest of the schedule is flooded with fresh episodes, “K-Ville” may get swept away.
But “K-Ville’s” ratings look better when you consider that worse news for Fox was “Prison Break’s” season premiere: Two million viewers have escaped from the habit of watching. 7.4 million tuned in, down significantly from the 9 or 10 million that watched last season. Apparently, the sight of Wade Williams in soiled underpants isn’t the huge draw they were hoping for.
David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place.
