[quote name=\'Gromit\' date=\'Jan 17 2005, 11:41 PM\']So that was it? One week of Tattletales as a promo for some horse thing I've never heard of?

Can we get any more tenous of a connection than that?

What was suprising to me was (and correct me if I'm wrong) that there was no on-air promotion tying "Tattletales" to "Dream Derby." "Tattletales" just appeared in the middle of the night and the connection wasn't played up.

Too bad it couldn't have been Celebrity Sweepstakes, but it was still nice to have TT back--even if just for a week.

A GT show hasn't gotten a stand alone promo on GSN since 2001 IIRC, not surprising to me.

I think Jimmy's point is, why bother doing it in the first place? If you're not going to promote your...uh...promotion, then the only ones who'll even know it happened are the tiny handful of faithful like us, and any fans of the B&W segments who don't happen to follow the network as closely as we do would just be befuddled.

Of course, if Zach took somebody's point for once; he wouldn't have the opportunity to insert his "useless factoid of the day".

Then again, how many stations, local or national, plug something that airs at 3AM EST?

KPWB, Des Moines commonly runs Street Smarts promotions...last time I checked, it ran in the overnights...I believe 2:35 AM....so stations do air promos for late night programs.

The Perf is saying it'll be a week with jockey Bill(Willie) Shoemaker and his sopuse on it. The week is being shown to coincide with the launch of American Dream Derby next week. It'll be another test to see if the Perf actually gets something right.

That makes sense. BTW re: Dream Derby, I'm predicting the cheering blonde chick in the promos will win and the tearful brunette will lose.

Just thought I'd dredge up this stunningly brilliant prediction now that ADD is over.

And just think, only about thirty seven people actually saw the episode to prove you right! (At least I assume you were right. I wasn't one of the 37.)

This I wonder. Did more people watch an episode of Tattletales during the week it ran at 3am or did more watch an episode of ADD at any time during its run?
