Ukraine, voting rights, Pete Buttigieg and “Ted Lasso,” was the week's most-watched live television show — making it three weeks in a row for the old guys.The newsmagazine has been on the air since 1968, and when asked to identify the first week “60 Minutes” was television's most-watched show, CBS said its records didn't go back that far.“60 Minutes” was television's top show for an entire year the first time in the season that ended in 1980, the Nielsen company said. The feat was repeated in 1983, 1992, 1993 and 1994.This winter's achievement is noteworthy because it came without the benefit of an NFL football game airing directly before it, which often inflates the show's ratings in the fall.For the week, CBS led the way in prime time with an average of 4.9 million viewers. ABC had 3.5 million viewers, NBC had 2.9 million, Fox had 2.1 million, Univision had 1.5 million, Ion Television had 1.02 million and Telemundo had 990,000.Fox News Channel was the most popular cable network, averaging 2.79 million viewers in prime time.

Brookside.The actress, who starred in telly drama Marcella and a string of films including Rogue Trader, Goal! and a Midsummer Night’s Dream, said her grandma hated her pre-watershed snog with Nicola Stephenson in the since axed Channel 4 soap.Anna, 45, said she has spent the best part of 30 years trying to live it down even though it helped land her a National Television Award and turned her a star.She told The Chap magazine: "I never want people to forget that I come from Rochdale, but I’d like them to forget I did Brookside."Looking back, all that controversy with Brookside was a good start, it made people know who I was but hopefully - and not just because I kissed a girl on telly - for all the right reasons."My grandma said she hated me kissing that girl."Now I hope you won’t be doing that anymore', she said 'None of that old nonsense'."My mum only said, 'I don’t really like that, Anna'.

Succession writer Georgia Pritchett has opened up about one Roy family member who was almost written as gay.“It’s interesting how characters take on a life of their own,” Pritchett said in an interview on the Homo Sapiens podcast, describing her job as the sole writer of four episodes across three seasons.“I had sort of advocated for Greg to be gay – until last season he hadn’t really done anything with anyone.”She added that she believes that the Roy children – Kendall, Shiv, Roman and Connor – move “in a circle where I think anything goes”.“I don’t think anyone’s closeted or not gonna do what they want to do,” she continued, before adding how Kieran Culkin’s character Roman “feels a bit fluid and pan”.“I don’t think he’d hold back if he fancied doing something,” she added. “He wouldn’t hold back.” In a four-star review of Succession season three, NME wrote: “Succession can risk feeling like a drama too obviously helmed by comedy writers, with its characters sitting in a circle firing off zingers.“There is a reason it is particularly beloved in the media landscape.
