A Fall 2011 TV Update

NBC has just cancelled "The Playboy Club" after 3 episodes making it the first show to get pulled this season. It looks like it will be joined very soon by "How to Be a Gentleman" on CBS and "Free Agents" on NBC. Replacing "The Playboy Club" on Oct. 31 will be "Rock Center" which is a new news magazine type program with NBC's Brian Williams and Harry Smith. It is still strange seeing Harry Smith on NBC now after being on CBS News programs for so long.

FOX's "Terra Nova" is not really bad but not really good either creatively, but I don't think it will last more than 2 seasons on FOX which is how long many other shows have lasted on FOX such as Human Target and the recent Terminator series.

But the show to keep an eye on this Fall will likely be "The X Factor" also on FOX. It might be only getting around 11 Million viewers now, but that is how American Idol's First Season started out. And by the end of Idol's First Season, it was around 22 million viewers for the Finale. I think "The X Factor" will catch a lot of people off guard as the season progresses.
