* CNN fell behind not just Fox News but also Ashton Kutcher

* But neither of them was as big as Susan Boyle.

* Fox News, meanwhile, served tea across the country on Tax Day. And at least one CNN correspondent was not going to take it. (Getting whipped by Ashton Kutcher probably didn’t help.) 

* The SAG board approved a new contract—barely

* NBC’s Southland and Parks and Recreation returned for their second weeks. I haven’t yet watched the second Southland; the second Parks and Rec, I thought, was a step forward and a step back, with the peripheral characters becoming more interesting, while Amy Poehler’s Leslie Knope risks becoming buffoonish. On the other hand, her need to please her bureaucratic big-wheel mom provides interest her character hadn’t had. I’m sticking with it for the rest of its run this season—are you?
