Cold Case Cast Catch-up – February 2013

001After such a busy January focussing on our headline act (that’s Kathryn) we managed to not do a post like this.  So, we’ll get one in early for February 2013.  It is time for another quick round-up of news on the other members of the Cold Case cast.

The banner image clearly wants us to talk about Tracie Thoms (Det. Kat Miller in Cold Case) first, and we wouldn’t want to go against its will now would we? :-)  At the end of January the ever-busy Tracie had a one night stand, that is to say that a feature film she starred in had a single night viewing across the US.  Further explanation is clearly necessary.  A 2009 (released in 2011) documentary film called One Night Stand: Creating A Play In A Day charting the creation of four musicals in just one day had a special nationwide showing in over 400 cinemas on the 30th of January.  Groups of writers, directors, composers and actors created, wrote and rehearsed short musicals.  After just 24 hours they had to perform their pieces.  Staying with Tracie, she recently had a guest starring role in the already cancelled CW network TV series Emily Owens M.D.  Thirteen episodes of the medical drama were produced.  All will be aired and that will be that.  Tracie was in episode 11, Emily And The Teapot.  The lead actress in Emily Owens M.D. is Mamie Gummer.  Daughter of a little known actress called Meryl Streep.  Mamie will next be seen in the movie The Lifeguard, which brings us to…

Kathryn Missed Out On Podium In French GP

rtl_le_grand_prix_des_series_tv_2013_150x94Back at the beginning of January we reported that the French TV station RTL and the weekly Télé 2 semaines magazine were running various polls to determine the fans’ favourite actors, actresses and TV shows.

On Monday the results were posted and it was, sadly, not good news for Kathryn.

The foreign actress category that Kathryn featured in was won by Stana Katic from Castle.  She took the prize by 4.5% from Jennifer Morrison of Once Upon A Time.  Kathryn didn’t make the top 3.  And we thought the French people really liked her.

Nathon Fillon, also of Castle, took first place in the equivalent male category, beating out competition from Hugh Laurie (House) and Simon Baker (The Mentalist).  Clearly the French people do like Castle, and why not, it is a very good show.

However, Esprits Criminels, which we believe is Criminal Minds, just pipped Castle to the foreign TV show award by 0.5%.  So close!  As Richard Castle would probably say.

You can find all the results on the RTL website.

The Sweeter Side Of Ratings

The Futon Critic website has published Nielsen audience figures covering the 19th of January 2013 on cable TV in the US.  The night that included première broadcast of Kathryn’s TV movie The Sweeter Side Of Life.

We can’t claim to fully understand the Nielsen numbers and methods but here they are as reported for TSSOL:

  • 1.975 million viewers, #5; 0.366 million adults 18-49 (0.3 rating), #9

In fact the numbers are fairly meaningless without some context.  The previous weekend’s Hallmark Channel movie premiere (12 January 2013) was a film called Nearlyweds, starring Danielle Panabaker and Naomi Judd.  That film’s figures were:

  • 1.323 million viewers, #3; 0.297 million adults 18-49 (0.2 rating), #6

Poster 003As you can see TSSOL got over 650,000 more viewers and a 23% higher rating in the, what for some reason is seen as the most important, “key demographic” 18-49 year old age group.  We don’t believe that the repeat showings, straight afterwards and since, are included.

The relative positions in the rankings (TSSOL: #5 and #9, Nearlyweds: #3 and #6) don’t paint such a rosy picture though.  However, the Lifetime channel’s screening of a drama and documentary about the Casey Anthony trial (a mother charged with the murder of her 2 year old daughter in 2008 which became a huge news story in 2011) took the first and third slots, pushing TSSOL down two from where it would otherwise have been.  A few other shows up against TSSOL got large numbers in the “key demo” but were lower overall adding to that #9.

Congratulations to all involved in The Sweeter Side Of Life on its success.
