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. “Samantha Who?” Now you know
Thanks to “Dancing with the Stars,” ABC’s new sitcom “Samantha Who?” had the highest rating of any sitcom this season, holding onto nearly 15 million of its lead-in’s 20.07m viewers. Heck, if memory serves, that’s the highest rating of any new show, more even than “Private Practice’s” debut.
Meanwhile, a few of those disgruntled “Prison Break” fans do in fact appear to have migrated over to NBC’s “Chuck,” as it perked up a bit this week, to No. 2 in the timeslot with 8.23m viewers and also No. 2 in the 18-49 demographic. News is not so good for NBC’s “Journeyman,” which is down to 7m. “Heroes” was OK with 11.26m and a No.-1 showing in the 18-49 demo.
