Premiere week is now officially over and so is the first week of the season but we still have shows these next few weeks starting their runs for this season. My Headstrong Daughters which returned to ICE's comedy scene made its season debut on Monday behind the show that it was inspired by One Day at a Time creating an hour of overbearing daughters but the question is how long will ICE milk the show now since they now have One Day at a Time there. Now One Day at a Time proved that Thursday's record setting sampling was not a fluke as the show was able to kick in 55 million viewers in its official timeslot. Earlier in the night for the ICE comedy block was My Sister Katie and Jaime which reached pretty much the same number they received from their special premieres on Saturday so the ICE Paramount Pretty Comedy scene is in pretty good shape right now.

The key thing about Jaime is that the comedy can be a utility player that the network can use to diversify their blocks.

Capping off the night for the Phederation was the debut of their new daytime serial "Youthful Daydreamers" which had a huge sampling for its debut episode. It won't get anywhere near these numbers in daytime but the show will help solve some major holes in the afternoon portion of their daytime blocks. Youthful Daydreamers has a real chance of being a huge program there in daytime. ICE will have the show run in prime time many times this season so we'll see how it holds up.

ROD starts a week of huge changes pretty well thanks to the Juniors auditions in the nation's capital which received the highest ratings of the night among the networks under ICE. That gave Pill Popper Jane and The Detention Center a much needed huge lead-in. Pill Popper Jane as we know is the real deal as it held most of that audience and The Detention Center after a disappointing start on Thursday improved in its new slot so good job by Ashley Greene on the temporary changes to start the week.

SBC is solid on Mondays as reliable 80s reboot comedies Diff'rent Strokes and a Gimme a Break! reached their regular numbers and Selena & Demi's new variety hour did a good job as well showing the power of that variety genre. CSI: Los Angeles stumbled though as the long-time veteran procedural might be showing its age a little bit here. Numbers overall aren't too bad as the show could fill other holes or move to TSN but SBC needs something that can hold that Demi & Selena audience a little better.

Division play started in the restructured Federal Division on Monday night and TSN blinks first on top thanks to Monday Night Football coverage which gave TSN their highest ratings since they started their service on Monday but Pink might prove to be a contender just like its sibling ICE as a repeat of the strong ratings theatrical feature Wanda Toronto gave the network a finish over 20 million viewers to put it not that far behind TSN. The question for Pink is can the ratings remain this high?

What helped TSN and Pink remain so competitive against SBC is that QBC was not in the picture as the network is getting to some dangerous level now getting blacked out as this was the first black out for any network this season. QBC actually had a show last Monday called The Blue Line which was showing some promise but all of that momentum that the network gained for all of their programs in that first week is lost. QBC could have a hard time just competing against TSN and Pink at this point. Blackouts can hurt networks really badly as we saw in the 2012 reboot season many times.


Tomorrow will be a very interesting night as we saw a really good ratings war at the top between ICE and SBC as Jaws , Alexa Chung, and Joel Osmond did a really good job competing against the Janit O'Day shows. Will ICE win again or will SBC top them? Also back to the Federal Division this should be interesting to see who wins tomorrow, it's very likely that QBC will be blacked out again and they had a strong Tuesday lineup of their own that actually did a good job competing against the top 3.

Ashley Greene (CEO): Good to see the changes work for us as those overrated ICE comedies need to go the fuck down and beating SBC every night is nothing new. Nobody wants to watch that old fat has been Selena Gomez. QBC is pretty much a dead network losing to TSN and Pink, nobody will watch that weak network.

Justin Bieber: Nobody will watch Selena Gomez either, nobody wants to watch a slut.

[riderstrongforever]

Selena Gomez: Justin Bieber at least I am not gay like you are. You fuck your lover Romeo Miller when are you 2 getting married?

[rodshooter]

Justin Bieber: You sure about that Selena? You have been all up in Demi Lovato's ass lately.

[BlueLick]

Matt LeBlanc (Comedy Coordinator): That's the problem Ashley Skank nobody is taking down our comedies anytime soon why do you think QBC gave up it's because they knew they couldn't fuck with us.

Andie Ryan: Shut up gay boys and Selena all of you have problems damn't.

[rodshooter]

Ashley Greene (CEO): Good one trader but we're coming for your ass. No need to mention QBC anymore they're quitters.

Justin Bieber: Andie where the hell did you come from and who are you to be talkin' smack?
