    TV One should just keep on repeating Mrs Browns Boy’s until the ratings drop. Although I assume thats probably the plan already……..

    Smash = Crash! looks like its being quietly buried aon sunday nifgts after the movie just in time. I think it was a mistake to put a show about broadway on after a pop show with lots of tweenies watching, no continuity of viewers.
