Latest in Food Fighters

As we await the programming flood of the upcoming season, last night was a bit of a roller coaster on primetime. While Big Brother (2.0/7), the top rated and second most watched (6.34 million) show of the night, was even among adults 18-49 with its August 20 show, lead-out Under The Dome (0.9/3) saw a nice rise. Up…

On a night when the biggest and most potentially entertaining show in primetime looked to be the GOP debate over on Fox News Channel, it was pretty much falls and flats for the Big 4. The only rises of the night were NBC's Food Fighters (0.9/3) and Dateline Thursday Night Mystery (1.1/4). The unscripted former was up…

The thing about clichés is that they are so often true and that what goes down also goes up, to flip one such expression – at least when it comes to space race ratings this week.

The heavyweight was of course America's Got Talent (2.1/7). Heading toward the Season 9 finale on September 17, the first…

As almost meanie Howie Mandel pointed out, tiny trio Dom The Bom's Triple Threat didn't give one of their best performances on America's Got Talent (1.9/6) last night but the live 2-hour quarterfinals show didn't…

ABC was Country Strong last night with the CMA Music Festival (1.8/6) filling its primetime. Of course, the popularity of country music being what it is nowadays, this year's CMA shindig was also the meeting of the reality show judges with Rising Star's Brad Paisley, The Voice's Blake Shelton and American Idol's Keith…

Little person, big voice. The vocal gymnastics of 11-year old Mara Justine on a Whitney Houston tune proved to be a big success with the judges on America's Got Talent (2.4/8) last night. While the Garden State native isn't America's next sweetheart yet, making it as one of the contestants to get through Judgment Week…
