Wow, About A Boy really has had a fall from grace between its first and second season. It’s starting to look like a third season is really unlikely.

That’ll be all the people watching it back in slow motion or re-watchng it again and again to properly ‘enjoy’ it.

Yes, I think CBS will be hyping up Letterman’s final shows, hoping for a boost in their late night ratings (if not their primetime ratings too). Plus they will be hyping up James Corden’s new Late Late Show in March too. There’s lots of potential buzz to generate for CBS in terms of late night over the next 9 months. But they need it, their late night ratings are miles behind NBC right now, practically compared to The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.
And personally I’d love to see a primetime special with highlights of Letterman’s 30+ years in late night television. It would probably be a ratings success, and cheap to produce too.
What will be interesting though is seeing how CBS are going to try and hold an audience over the summer gap between Letterman and Colbert, and how this will affect Corden’s new show too. There’s a big risk they will just be sending even more viewers over the NBC at 11:30pm.
