conan returns
the red headed funny man made his second return to tv this year last night on tbs. the eponymously named conan ("so i'd be harder to replace," conan joked) brought in over 4 million viewers, but will it stick? naturally, ratings are going to be big the first week or so for conan on tbs. but i don't think a 4 million-person audience, let alone more than 1 million viewers, will stick around. conan was able to beat time-slot competitors jay leno and david letterman, but he also has a 30-minute lead in. it would be interesting to see the ratings for the second half of jay and dave's shows. after interest dies down, expect conan to be on par with where timeslot predecessor george lopez was - hovering around 1 million viewers. critics haven't responded well to conan's new program, expecting him to break free from the traditional late night mold. instead, he delivered a tonight show knock off with a cable edge. chances are tbs will give conan a longer shot than nbc, but i don't know if the net's gamble will pay off. conan couldn't bring in ratings on a major network. why is he expected to bring in even more viewers on a less watched cable channel?
and they're getting out of control. the nominees for this year's people's choice awards was announced today and...well...it's interesting to say the least. it looks like the awards show has been extended by about 3590238097230932 categories, almost as if there idea was to not leave any possible nominee off the list. there's not just a "favorite movie" category, but favorite action, comedy and family movie categories. and acting awards under each of those categories. the people's choice awards have been headed downhill since the writer's strike in 2008. queen latifah returns (yet again) to host the show, to be broadcast january 5th on cbs. here's an (extensive) list of the nominees below. it looks like it will be a twilight award show, just like every other fan voted award show the past couple of years.
