Two shows were out of the mix again last week, Fringe and Dollhouse, both of which will be absent this coming week as well.
Meanwhile, for the shows that did air first-run episodes this past week, the spotlight was on Thursday, which was a bit disappointing for ratings. Fox's airing of the World Series between the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies dominated the airwaves, garnering a 10.6/17 share, according to Fast National ratings from The Nielsen Co. By comparison, even the reality juggernaut Survivor couldn't compete with America's favorite pastime, returning a 7.1/11 for its Survivor: Samoa iteration.
Both, however, finished well ahead of FlashForward, which is settling back down a bit. The ABC skein earned a 5.7 rating/9 share, matching the all time low it had back on Oct. 15. That's an eight percent drop from the previous week, and nine-and-a-half percent below its season average so far.

Having not yet watched the latest Office (has anyone seen or heard anything about this wedding?) or It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and eliminating Friday and Saturday's television offerings (do they air shows those nights?) from my pool, I admit that the following claim might be under-researched...but you know what? I'm going to make it anyway: Last night's Parks and Recreation was the most satisfying comedy of the week. Sure, Curb Your Enthusiasm gave us the Seinfeld gang and Modern Family proved once again -- even in its weakest episode thus far -- worth all the critical fuss,...
