Kathryn, everyone here at KM UK wishes you the very happiest of birthdays.
Yes, today (28th January) is the anniversary of that very special event: the day of Kathryn’s birth.
Please feel free to leave a birthday message for Kathryn in a comment below. Hopefully she will get to see them.
Thank you to Dianekmfan for creating the lovely title image you can see above especially for us today. Many thanks also must go to Kathy and Kareen T for creating a great collection birthday-themed banners and wallpapers just for the occasion. A preview of a small selection of them can be seen below. They can all be found in the Fan Art section of the KM UK Gallery.
Update: We have an additional wallpaper from amei. Thank you amei.
Update 2: Another wallpaper, this time by Mayee, has been added to the Gallery. Thank you Mayee.
Back 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 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
As 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.

Review of The Sweeter Side Of Life
It has been a while, too long in fact, since we saw Kathryn in a significant new project. Since the Cougars, Inc. VOD release on the 1st of April 2011 (May for the DVD) there has been… well, nothing really. Of several scenes filmed for Moneyball, one of the biggest movies of 2011, only a singleton made it to the public and that was just as a deleted scene on the DVD. One short film (Sunday’s Mother) that has only been shown at a few festivals. That’s it. As regulars know there are a couple of other projects in the offing: another short (The Coin) and a small role in a feature film (2 Br/1 Ba). That makes this, the lead role in a TV movie, a big deal for us fans of Kathryn. Can it possibly live up to the weight of expectation?
It was so good to have Kathryn back on our screens. We’ve missed her very much. A comedy role like this is new for her too. I have wanted to see her do comedy for a long time and have no doubt she can do it with aplomb.

Normally in this space we’d have some text describing the film or episode of Cold Case the screencaps have come from, but frankly you probably haven’t even read this far through this sentence.
It’s pretty certain that you won’t get to this second paragraph so I’ll just write “blah” a couple of times and move on. Blah, blah.
Assuming you are still reading, a comprehensive set of screencaps covering The Sweeter Side Of Life are now in the Gallery.
