Dick Wolf’s back, and NBC’s still got him. NBC has renewed “Law & Order: SVU” for a 14th season because the show averaged nearly 8 million viewers. These days, that’s a good crowd for NBC because “L&O: SVU” is the network’s sixth-most-watched show — behind only Sunday football, “Harry’s Law,” “Smash” and two nights of “The Voice” — and because it averages more 18-to-49-year-olds (who are the currency of NBC’s ad sales) than “Community,” “30 Rock,” “Parks and Recreation,” “Awake,” “Grimm,” “Are You There, Chelsea?” and “Fashion Star.” Read full article > >

After 18 months of waiting, an average of 3.5 million people tuned in Sunday to watch “Mad Men’s” fifth-season debut. That’s a series best for the show — and about 600,000 more people than watched the fourth-season debut in July 2010. “Mad Men” had been off the air since October 2010, following the fourth-season finale, as the studio, the network and the creator wrangled over this and that — product placement within the show, adding another ad break, creator’s salary, blah, blah, blah.

ESPN took swift action, firing one employee and placing another on probation because of an ethnic slur that embarrassed the network. But “Saturday Night Live” was faster, satirizing the conversation that has surrounded the meteoric rise of the New York Knicks’ Jeremy Lin, the NBA’s first American-born player of Chinese or Taiwanese descent. A Harvard graduate who was undrafted, his success has been a dominant news story ever since the Super Bowl ended. Since then, just about every single pun involving his last name (“Linderella story,” “Linsanity”) and ethnic origin has been made, with some comments crossing the line. Read full article > >

Jane Curtin has joined the cast of the freshman CBS drama “Unforgettable” as a series regular, the network announced Monday. Yes, it’s unusual for a series to announce a new “regular” cast member halfway into its first season. Often it’s seen as some kind of course correction for a struggling show. When CBS moved “The Good Wife” out of the Tuesday-at-10-p.m. time slot and replaced it with “Unforgettable” in September, the network hoped that the new crime drama would do a better job than “Good Wife” of hanging on to male fans who were watching the lead-ins, “NCIS” and “NCIS: Los Angeles.” These are guys who are apparently constitutionally incapable of watching a show with the word “Wife” in it — unless maybe it’s called “To Kill a Wife,” or “NCIS: Wife Victims Unit.” Read full article > >
