The 2012–13 television season officially passed into the Nielsen history books last night, bringing to an end what will likely be remembered as one of the worst years ever in the history of network TV (assuming, of course, that anyone still remembers what "television" is in 50 years). There were hardly any new breakout hits (though The Following, Revolution, and Elementary did okay). And, as has been widely reported, the Big Four as a whole bled viewers: They collectively lost about 10 percent of their adults-under-50 audience this season, with none of the major broadcasters growing year to year in the key demo. But as bad as things look on the macro level, the devastation is even more evident — and jaw-dropping — when you dig into the numbers for all the returning shows.

The vast majority of the nearly 90 series that had their second or higher season on ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, and the CW lost ground among adults under 50. In the expandable chart below showing the year-to-year ratings change of all returning network shows, you'll see that more than 50 series declined by double digits, nearly 30 fell by 20 percent or more, roughly a dozen gave back a quarter or more of their young audience, and an unlucky seven saw their ratings collapse by at least one-third. And in case you're wondering, you can't blame most of these losses on DVRs: The season's Nielsen numbers include viewers who time-shift shows within a week of their initial broadcast. Overall, the chart paints a pretty ugly picture of where network TV stands right now. The good news for broadcasters: They get to wipe the slate clean and start all over again in just four months.

NOTES: Our chart is based on Nielsen data comparing all available viewing data for the season to date (through Sunday) against Nielsen's final measurement for the 2011–12 season. Because Nielsen still needs to tally DVR data for the last couple of weeks of this season, the numbers we used for this season are not 100 percent complete. For most shows, this won't change whether they're up or down versus last season. However, in the case of shows that had a very small drop this year, like Grey's Anatomy, The Middle, NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles, Suburgatory, and Revenge, it's possible that the final numbers will show the series either flat or up a tick, rather than their current status as "down" compared to last season. And Person of Interest, currently shown as flat, may yet rise to "up" when all numbers are tallied.

Being on a Reality TV competition show continues to be the wave of the future even though the future path it may lay for its contestants uncertain. Twenty-year old actor Alex Newell has been able to parlay his runner-up finish on the first season of Oxygen’s "The GLEE Project" into a regular role on "GLEE" the series.

And, what a "unique" role it is. Newell’s character on "GLEE," Wade Unique Adams, is a transgender male-to-female high schooler -- a role tailored for the rising actor. After discovering the role was in fact a transgendered character, Newell was neither shocked nor appalled. But, Alex did find the thought of him being tailor fit to play a trans character one of the craziest, funniest, and outlandish things ever.

After on a brief appearance (three episodes) in his first season on "GLEE," Newell has taken ’Unique’ to a spotlight role. Where this will lead Alex into the future will be anyone’s guess, but not for him. Admitting that playing a trans role is a risk, Newell is taking his opportunity to concentrate on the other aspects of his character.

Not that the inclusion of ’Unique’ was without controversy: FOX News’ Bill O’Reillly expressed concern of the influence the role may encourage children to experiment with alternative lifestyles. Still his complaints went nowhere as fans embraced ’Unique’ as a welcome addition to "GLEE’s" cast, largely due to powerhouse vocals that rival that of co-star Lea Michelle.

( I had an opportunity to speak with Alex prior to his upcoming performance in the San Francisco Bay Area on May 24th to talk about how landing the 'GLEE' role halted college plans, why confronting Bill O’Reilly is of no concern, how he sees the affect of his TV role on children, why he thinks he may never play a straight character, and what the premise of his first movie role is.Collapse )

Title: Spin Control
Pairings: Finnick/Haymitch, Kat/Peeta
Characters: Finnick, Haymitch, Chaff, Peeta, Gale, Kat; plus appearances by Mags, Johanna, Caesar Flickerman, President Snow, Effie, Claudius Templesmith, Beetee, Prim, Thresh, Rue, District Twelve ensemble and various OC
Rating: adult
Warnings: forced prostitution & non-con; people dealing with sexual trauma; rape fantasies; self-hate; canon-typical violence; minor character death (of major canon characters); implied physical abuse of children (in the Mellark household); alcoholism & drug abuse
Summary: When Haymitch Abernathy’s alcoholism makes the prime time news, Finnick Odair is sent to live in District Twelve to pick up the pieces. But it’s hard to save a friend if you can barely stand looking yourself in the eye. And it might become impossible once that friend decides to move hell and high water to bring two of his tributes home at once, even if it should cost him his own life.
Where’s My Victor? If you’re looking for the Peeta/Kat bits but don’t want to bother with the whole story, I’d recommend starting at around Chapter 17, where that gets going for real, though they do make their share of appearances before that too. Gale’s appearances will be scattered through the fic more evenly. Gale and Peeta both are scheduled to make their first appearance in Chapter 6. Kat, probably Chapter 11. Chaff will be featured prominently as well. Now we’ll just have to hope that I’ll stick to my outline. ;-)

"Brunette Ambition" is due in spring 2014 as the actress becomes the latest cast member with a book deal.

Glee's Lea Michele now has another thing in common with her co-stars Jane Lynch, Chris Colfer and Jenna Ushkowitz: she's writing her first book.

The actress otherwise known as diva Rachel Berry on the Fox musical has singed a deal with Harmony Books to pen her first book.

Brunette Ambition is scheduled for spring 2014 release in the U.S. and Canada in print and digital formats. The title is described as part memoir, part how-to, part style guide following Michele from her Bronx upbringing to Broadway to her breakout role on Glee. Ambition will offer an intimate, behind-the-scenes perspective featuring Michele sharing her personal and professional journey, how young girls can follow her trajectory and offer beauty, fashion, fitness and career tips in addition to never-before-scene photos.

"There wasn't a guidebook when I was growing up, that detailed everything I would need to do, and know, to get where I am today,” Michele said in a statement announcing the news Thursday. “But I believe I can write one of sorts: Not a how-to-make-it-in-show-business book, but a guide to harnessing tenacity, passion, enthusiasm, and hard work to make your dreams come true.”

Harmony Books, an imprint of the Crown Publishing Group at Random House, acquired the title from WME's Jennifer Rudolph Walsh. Harmony senior editor Suzanne O'Neill will edit the book.

Michele's book comes as co-stars Lynch (Sue), Ushkowitz (Tina) and Colfer have all published books (Happy Accidents, Choosing Glee and the young-adult novel The Land of Stories, respectively).
