-Final numbers are not in yet for Sunday night, but Game of Thrones season premiere was seen by 6.6 million viewers which was the most watched program on HBO since The Sopranos series finale in 2007. Including the 2 encores, the premiere was seen by 8.2 million viewers so far. This doesn't count the HBO GO App which crashed Sunday night, so I'm thinking there were WAY more viewers and betting more throughout the week. I guess I wasn't the only one who was glad it was back. Anyone do the marathon?
-Considering everything else that was airing Sunday night, the 2.1 million viewers for the premiere of Turn on AMC wasn't bad. With the encore, 3 million total viewers checked it out, but only 669,000 A18-49. Did anyone watch it? I was considering it, but I have so much on Sunday nights as it is. Let me know if I need to get on this one.
THE SHOWS
I got home late last night and I admit right now that I was live streaming the last concert at Roseland at the same time I was watching Dallas. Lady Gaga performed and Verizon sponsored the show, so I had to check it out. Gaga was good, exactly what I thought she would be. Whenever I watch anything we sponsor I watch nervously hoping all goes well. The good news is that there was no vomit to speak of, nothing completely crazy happened at all which was a huge relief. Not sure if she should have been the final act at such a historic venue, but she did a great show, the Little Monsters were happy and the streaming experience was perfect.
Dallas
Nothing super juicy happened on Dallas last night. Bobby got Sue Ellen out of the looney bin in turn for her support to vote against John Ross. John Ross fired Candace, his admin with the huge cleavage, who was secretly working for Ryland. Emma, John Ross's mistress? She's not really his mistress, he's sleeping with her but he def doesn't like or love her, he just needs her. So not sure what that makes her, but anyway, Emma found out that Candace was working for her Dad and then found out that he wanted her to "Monica Lewinsky" John Ross. I'm pretty sure that now that Candace has been let go, Emma's taking the job pretty seriously. Christopher finally found his b*lls again and beat the crap out of Drew for killing his unborn twins. Nice to see Christopher still has it in him. John Ross played poker with a Shiek for business purposes. Not sure why Scarface had to buy him into the game with her antique earrings, I mean they are Ewings right? They have billions. Maybe they don't like to carry cash? John Ross threw the game, lost the earrings and JR's ugly watch but he got what he needed out of the sheik. No shirts off this week which always bums me out.Lindsay
She's seriously a massive, super hot mess. Even AJ her life coach, quit. I hope she's watching her own show and seeing what a completely out of touch whack job she really is. She went to LA specifically to meet with executives and woke up too late to go to the meetings. What I don't understand is how she oversleeps at all when she has a personal assistant that she pays to wake her ass up. How does that happen and why is she so tired that she has to sleep til noon everyday? The moving situation was also RIDICULOUS. I am EXTREMELY organized, so seeing all the moving boxes coming and going and sitting and moving around from to room and then getting put back on the truck and not getting unpacked, was enough for me to want to delete the Season Pass from my Tivo, but next weeks episode looks crazier than this weeks, so of course I didn't delete the Season Pass and will be tuning in.Oprah
Rob Lowe's new book LOVE LIFE, is out today. I've downloaded it and can't wait to read it. Oprah did an hour with him on Sunday Night, but I couldn't get to it until this morning. I don't think the interview was anything close to an hour, I didn't count, but there seemed to be a TON of commercials which is a shame because Rob's actually a really interesting guy. He's really smart and has really great stories to tell. He's lived a crazy cool life hasn't he? Of course he's also still way too good looking. Rob turned 50 and to be honest, he's never looked better. He's aging beautifully and I while I've never fallen out of love since the days of his Tiger Beat pictures hanging all over my walls, every time I see him I love him just a little bit more. I'll let you know how the book is as soon as I finish.THE OTHER STUFF
-Still no word on Letterman's last day, but Barbara Walters last day on The View will be 5/16. They haven't announced if they'll replace her and if they are, who they're replacing her with. Of course the list of candidates for Letterman's replacement is getting longer by the minute. Who would you like to see?
-I'm still to scared to watch Bates Motel, but for all of you guys that like the scary stuff, good news, the show was renewed by A&E for a 3rd season.
Tuesday's Trivia Question: What was Rob Lowe's characters name in Brothers & Sisters?
