'Damages' opens to a million viewers on DirecTV
In its July 13 premiere episode of the new season, "Damages" attracted slightly more than 1 million viewers over four telecasts on DirecTV. The satcaster refused to reveal aud totals for the debut telecast, rather offering only the higher live-plus 7 number. DirecTV said it was happy with the "Damages" returns, and added that it had performed better than the final season premiere of "Friday Night Lights," which drew just over 900,000 viewers in live plus 7. However, Sony Pictures TV-produced "Damages" is far more expensive than "Friday Night Lights" -- Glenn Close is paid a healthy salary -- and the acclaimed high school football drama was shot on a small budget in Austin, Texas. The total viewers for "Damages" are much smaller on DirecTV than FX, the former cable home of the series. However, FX has a much wider total audience reach, with approximately five times as big as many households than the 19 million that receive DirecTV. Ratings for "Damages" had been troubled for most of its run on FX, which canceled the show after season four. After months-long negotiations, DirecTV came in and decided to air a new season on its renamed Audience Network. DirecTV is contracted for a 10-episode fifth season as well. The series premiered on FX to 3.7 million viewers in 2007 and fell drastically to 1.7 million for the season two debut. Less than a million tuned in for the season three finale.

(Photo)'Two and a Half Men' Poster Features (Maybe) Naked Ashton Kutcher'Two and a Half Men' bucket list (pic) Related Topics•Ashton Kutcher•Two and a Half Men BEVERLY HILLS -- CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler revealed some details about Ashton Kutcher's character on Two And A Half Men. He'll play an Internet billionaire named Walden Schmidt, she told reporters at the Television Critics Association press tour. Tassler didn't reveal how Kutcher's character will come into the orbit of Alan Harper (Jon Cryer) and his son Jake (Angus T. Jones), but he is not related to any of them. "He is a unique character," she said, declining to confirm that Charlie Sheen's character is killed off. Tassler praised Kutcher's "commitment" and his professionalism in general in what could be interpreted as a veiled knock on Sheen. "We have an extraordinary actor in Ashton Kutcher. You have someone who is committed to doing their job and is incredibly professional," she said, adding that Kutcher is "anextraordinarily talented, funny and gifted actor." Tassler said she was at a table read of Monday and noted that the cast and writers have "embraced" Kutcher. Asked what she learned from the Sheen saga, Tassler sighed, "Oh where to begin?" "Who could have predicted that we'd be here six months ago," she said. "The show will be as irreverent as it's ever been. Our programming standards and practices team is already on high alert." Tassler was pressed about why the network did not mount a Two And a Half Men panel at TCA. She explained that the cast and writers are in production and "very focused" and added that "you could cut the air with a knife" on set. She said the network has no plans to modify how they deal with actors who may be showing signs of a downward personal trajectory. "I don't think we would change the practice with which we hire actors," she said. "It's an artistic creative process. I don't think we would change the way we hire actors."
