Human Target – S02E09+10 – Imbroglio + Cool Hand Guerrero

Does FOX just have a hole in the schedule to fill or are they burning off new episodes of Human Target? They go back to airing single episodes next week but it doesn't seem like a good thing they they just aired four shows in the past week.

On the plus side, ratings have gone up (albeit slightly) in the last three episodes. On the minus side, it's still down a million or so viewers from last season.
 


As always, I look forward to your thoughts, opinions, gripes, live-blogging, etc.

  1. this season just isn’t as good as the last one IMO, it kinda lacks that overarching mystery from last year.

    still, it’s a fun and enjoyable show that i’m excited for every week

  2. It’s perfect lazy day television. Wonderfully entertaining.

  3. I’m not the only one who got Raising Hope, right?

  4. I’m pissed…..I just had to sit through Raising Hope…..www.wtf.com

  5. ooooooh…it’s so Fox news can continue to fill America with fear and anger….why would all of America want to watch a funeral???

  6. @marshak75  I’m betting that the networks are planning on cutting to the funeral in Tucson so they decided not to air HUMAN TARGET tonight. I’ll see if I can find out anything.

  7. Yeah Connor…figured that much out, but so far it’s only Fox and the others are business as usual.

  8. @marshak75  I don’t blame them. It’s more important to show the funeral than this show.

  9. Went to tvbythenumbers.com and they said some Fox scheduling head said this could air as early as Friday: http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2011/01/12/coverage-of-president-obama-speech-in-tucson-wreaks-havoc-on-broadcast-primetime/78423
     

  10. the look on my face when i realized i was watching raising hope on my dvr must have been priceless…

  11. You know, I was just coming in to comment about great the shows been, but that the double episodes nights are making it hard for me to catch up.  Then, I see that last night’s episode got moved.  Yeah!  Now, I can catch up this afternoon and tomorrow night.

  12. I got Raising Hope, too.  If the shows got moved, any word on when they got moved to?  Thanks.

  13. I got both shows.  They were pretty good.  It’s not great, just a nice change from most of what you get on network tv. 

  14. Make no mistake, I really like this show. 

    I have one nitpick, alot of stuff seems to be happening by them, around them or at them. Didn’t people use to come to them for help and it was more proactive rather then reactive. The new season has had 2 episodes about Ames and her problems, 2 or 3 (maybe 4) about Ilsa, 1 about Double Wide and then maybe 3 about actual work.

    Either way, the fight scenes are excellent and I do really like all of the cast. I could watch them interact and talk around pizza and be satisfied with the show. 

  15. oh i thought i missed it or my DVR was playing a really bad joke on me, but it will be on Friday night, can’t wait.

  16. I had the impression they were trying to burn off shows before American Idol…but really I think they just need to put this on another night away from Idol’s schedule and I think it would do just fine.

  17. Catching up on episodes here, and am watching Cool Hand Guerrero, and I’m almost a little surprised they haven’t done any sort of “I’m not locked in here with you, you’re locked in here with me!” joke; but I’m not done with the episode just yet, so there is still a chance.

  18. Oh wait!  Now I remember where this concept/trick in Imbroglio is from.  How could I forget, it’s from the Batman movie, The Dark Knight.  I knew it was familiar.
