Football Asserts Dominance Over Baseball, Again
November 2nd, 2009

Pigskin is our pastime.
The question of the most popular sport on television has been long answered, but football put an exclamation point on it Sunday when a regular season N.F.L. game was far more watched than Game 4 of the World Series.
Both events had huge audiences, but the game between the Green Bay Packers and [...]

Battlestar Galactica: The Plan
Unless you’re a dedicated fan of Battlestar Galactica (as I am) avoid Battlestar Galactica: The Plan. If you are a fan, you’ll probably like it. The basic premise is to show us what was going on on the Cylon side during the series as they attempted to execute their “plan”.

Jay Leno Show Already Failing

Who could have predicted?
At the same time Mr. Letterman’s longtime rival, Jay Leno, experienced a somewhat predictable falloff with his new prime-time show now that he is facing full competition. Mr. Leno finished third at 10 p.m., well behind the CBS hit drama ‘C.S.I. Miami’ and the far-from-hit ABC drama, ‘Castle.’
Mr. Leno had 5.67 million [...]
Jay Leno Begins Losing Time Slot Before Real Competition

I hope this is a sign, America.
‘Leno’: Averaged a 2.7/8 in the demo and 8. 5 million viewers, according to prelim national Nielsen data. Smallest audience in four broadcasts. Won the hour in adults 18-49 but lost to a repeat of ‘The Mentalist’ on CBS in viewers. This was the first night this week where [...]
If Jay Leno Is The Future Of TV, TV Is Dead
September 5th, 2009

Time, in one of its time-honored traditions as the arbiter of stuff says that Jay Leno is the future of TV. If there’s any truth to that I have only one thing to say to my beloved idiot box: it’s not me, it’s you.
Television is in one of its dry spots right now. For myself, [...]
SNL Hires Two New Cast Members, Still…
September 1st, 2009
23 Comments
I’m guessing their hiring may not be over, but is SNL going to go through another season without hiring any more minority cast members? The Fred Armisen Obama is a total mistake (SNL does best when they have a great political impression – Tina Fey as Palin, Will Ferrell as Bush, Phil Hartman as Clinton…), [...]

Conservative Failure In Progress

Conservative whack-job supporters of Sarah Palin are having a rally to fire David Letterman. I feel pretty safe in making two predictions here.
1. The rally will be poorly attended.
2. CBS will not fire David Letterman. Letterman is worth millions, probably billions to CBS. While TV networks don’t like cranky pants protestors outside, what they like [...]

I’m not sure if it will be funny but this Goode Family show would seem to give a clue to how to make fun of liberals they could learn on Fox News. Key element? Funny first.

Is Leann Rimes Or Someone At Lifetime Network A Diabolical Genius?

It sure looks like it.
Tabloid rumors likely helped Lifetime’s presentation of “Nora Roberts’ Northern Lights,” which became the network’s most-watched movie so far this year.
“Lights” was seen by 4.5 million viewers on Saturday night, topping Lifetime’s list of 2009 movie premiere ratings. The project stars LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian, who supposedly had an affair [...]

Now you know the economy really sucks.
Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit producer of Sesame Street and other kids’ programs, is cutting about one-fifth of its work force because of the economic downturn.
The New York-based company said Wednesday that it’s eliminating 67 of 355 staff positions.
