I guess GSN figures they\'ve got nothing to lose against the Super Bowl. Per a promo on GSN, the marathon will start on Sunday, 2/3 at 5 pm EST.

Just like with Beat the Chefs, they\'re going to keep going back to something until it works, won\'t they?


I'm a pacifist, and even I would like to see a little more action.

More crap GSN news: Family Trade has been pushed back the week to March 12th. 

 


I\'d rather get the series over with as soon as possible. 


Who is forcing you to watch GSN?

I\'ll be watching CBS, of course.

Naturally.

Why is this newsworthy: tertiary cable net pulls hash marks against Sportsball Championship (TM)?

God, no kidding. Talk about cherrypicking...that insight\'s worthless even by LGY standards.

Not that his credibility wasn\'t shot before, mind you.

You thought wrongly, grasshopper. Just because you want to say it doesn\'t mean we want to hear it.

The reason is since I got this in my mailbox....

Have ratings for the Dancing with the Stars-SuperBowl marathon?


I went to the SonoftheBronx site and found nothing.



 


Which I figure you could have responded to by e-mail as well.

This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

The follow up question is \"who besides Mr. Yank cares about these ratings?\"

I suppose you can still learn stuff on TLC, though it would be more in the Goofus & Gallant sense, that is (don't do what these parents did)"- Travis Eberle, 2012

And then, \"He e-mailed himself?\" :-)

The part that I find particularly offensive is that he isn\'t even aware that I wasn\'t calling him out for posting the numbers, I was calling him out (along with Travis) for suggesting that the ratings of something airing opposite the SUPER FARKING BOWL are IN ANY WAY statistically useful.

Scott:

The goal of a TV network is to draw eyeballs to watch things that make them money. This is the \"content\" that networks wrap around the ads. On a day such as the Super Bowl, even GSN, all the way up at 161 on my dial, is trying to draw eyeballs. NBC did it with a special \"Fear Factor\" one year. Animal Planet does it with the Puppy Bowl. There is a group of people who couldn\'t be arsed to watch the football game (until the blackout I was one of them). GSN has two choices: contend for those eyeballs or put up a test pattern. If they figure that they can reach 100k viewers, they want to maximize their profit. Typically you do that by running the least expensive thing that will reach that benchmark. I realize that you don\'t like this because DWTS isn\'t something you want to watch, but they\'re not programming just to you, and they\'re not accountable to you: they have bills to pay and a ledger that has to add up at the end of each month.

Do you understand why nobody here takes anything you say seriously at all? That you\'re roundly met with near complete derision? That every time you annoy your keyboard and click on \"post\" you\'re just digging your hole even bigger? Does this even concern you?
