Daily Bullets

• TV by the Numbers Overnight Nielsen Ratings: "Dancing With the Stars returned and ABC easily won St. Patrick’s Day night in overall viewers and the 18-49 demographic. It wasn’t an American Idol style beatdown, but it wasn’t all that close either with ABC averaging more than 4 million viewers more than second place CBS."

• Televisionary reports the Judd Apatow & Friends Paley Festival panel was loaded with love for Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared.

• Who knew that aliens could be Heroes too.

• Nothing particularly new, but still a nice recap about In Treatment's Israeli roots.

• Studies show that most viewers will return to TV. Here's hoping the ones that don't are the idiots who champion lousy procedurals and migraine-inducing multi-camera comedies.

• Vince Vaughn fired his manager and left his agency.
  

• CBS has ordered Exit 19, a drama starring Oscar-winning Geena Davis.

• Anthony Minghella has passed away. His death comes less than a week before his latest project TV Film/Series No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency was set for its BBC debut (HBO has no premiere date set). RIP.

• I always associated TV Land with quality, so when the news hit that they were going to make the foray into original programming I had high hopes. Based on first four projects to get the go ahead, it's safe to say my excitement has waned.

• I loathe politicians. After reading his take on the Obama/Wright issue, I think I hate Jonah Goldberg as much, if not more. How does someone muster up the balls to claim they "have no interest in being united with Wright or anyone who insists that America is...racist." Yeah, God forbid anyone entertain that notion.
