good for soa…love that show!
@Jim – really, you have never seen an episode of R&I? You seem so passionate about it on a weekly basis I assumed you worked with the show in some way
I watch both and White Collar is the better show with stronger cast but we all know that ratings seldom reflect which shows are actually better than others.
@Tessa – spot on on DVR vs. Live. White Collar has always been a huge time shifter.
@nick Please numbers for the amazing world of gumball and dragons:riders of berk on cartoon network
@Nick, Please Hollywood Heights Ratings (:
You know I totally forgot White Collar was on last night. For some reason, I thought they were done. Luckily, they’re rerunning it on Satuerday.
Here for White Collar. That is my show! Matt Bomer just gets better and better and he was already too good. Love all of it: the story arc, the entire cast, the setting. So much of everything perfect rolled into 40 odd minutes.
I quit watching SOA a few years ago but I have been meaning to find the time to catch up… I know a lot of people told me to watch it again last season. I really loved its first season…..
White Collar… 1.2 atta baby… Yes i know its because R&I is done for the summer but still. This season is shaping up to be phenomenal. Last nights episode both Tim and Matt were flawless. Peter in the ring trying to plead with Neal that he was trying to protect him and then the last scene with Neal tell Peter, he didn’t break his promise about the video and that they were done… It broke my heart.
I think my GF enjoyed the episode a bit more then me though b/c of Bomber’s abs.
Jim: “what is Rizzoli and Isles about?”
Since no one else will, I will tell you.
Quoting Wikipedia:
Rizzoli & Isles is a TNT television series starring Angie Harmon as police detective Jane Rizzoli and Sasha Alexander as medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles. The one-hour drama is based on the Rizzoli & Isles series of novels by Tess Gerritsen.
It’s similar to Body of Proof, but with better writing and casting. The show mixes drama and comedy pretty well with the main attraction being the relationship and banter between the two female leads.
My main reason for watching, since I usually hate cop shows and medical shows, is the presence of Angie and Sasha, two seriously hot babes. That’s the same reason I watch Body of Proof – for Jeri Ryan and, less so, Dana Delaney.
And I’m still waiting for Jane and Maura to do the “L” thing…
Covert Affairs rocked last night, probably their best episode ever. And that is just the lead-in to next week’s episode before the show goes on a month-long hiatus until October.
Chris Gorham’s emotional performance was outstanding, as was Kari Matchett’s. The dream sequences were unusual and a bit over the top, but at least it did clarify that yes, Annie and Auggie are destined to hook up.
I was hoping to see Kari and Sarah get into a major fight, but aside from a scuffle and chase, it didn’t happen.
White Collar was pretty good. However, I think the current conflict between Peter and Neal will blow over within a few episodes. They still need to move the conspiracy around Neal’s dad along faster than they are.
Great Covert Affairs ep last night. Nice to see it held up well especially against the beast that is SoA.
Whatever ratings boost White Collar got last night, they owe to those half-naked boxing photos they’ve been circulating for weeks. Last night’s plot was not that impressive but the boxing scene was what the viewers have tuned in for.
SOA was awesome!! Ill be watching all season long!! And more to come!
White Collar has had consIstently
Happy for soa fans…and look at those supernatural repeats..love seeing them on this list
White Collar has had consistently great cable numbers in key dem since it debuted in 2009 because of good story arcs and superior casting and will continue to do so until its lead star’s fast rising career makes it impossible to put in the time on cable when so much more opportunity is available in film. Though we shall gladly savor it while it lasts.
WOW. what was SOA’s previous series high?
When Tig’s daughter got BURNED ALIVE on SOA, I cheered for joy!!!!!!!!!!!
Covert Affairs, was awesome! I watched it twice. Great TV, I can hardly wait for next Tue. Super plot and great flow from week to week. Good story line great acting.
FRANKLIN AND BASH! One of best shows on TV, smart humor good plots and very good after hard days work. ENTERTAINING!!!!!!
@jamie Sorry but you have the wrong person. Iam not passionate about Rizzoli and Isles. I do not watch. I know people who do and just wanted to know what all the talk was about. You have the wrong Jim but it is a common name.
white collar is really amazing like shippping wars.
That CA is so boring, I don’t watch anymore
