No matter what happens, the biggest loser in the whole played out soap opera is clearly NBC. Just think...this is the network that featured Cheers, The Cosby Show, Seinfeld, Friends, ER, and Law and Order...what happened? First of all, NBC lacks patience. No one is talking about how it took Jay "The Savior" Leno almost 3 years to pass David Letterman when they both started in 1992. Conan only gets 7 months? Something doesn't gel. Secondly, many predicted the demise of Leno's early show before it even hit the air in September. This is not a surprise by any means. Hopefully when the dust settles over the next few months, Conan will be at FOX and Leno will still be getting pummeled by Letterman.
There's also the departure of Simon Cowell from American Idol. For Simon, this makes perfect sense. Leave while you are on top! Why wait for Idol to become less relevant and have a tough time launching your next endeavor? X-Factor will work, FOX will throw tons of support behind it, and Idol will move on at a minor league level. I don't blame him in the slightest for this transition.
This McGwire situation is getting to be obnoxious. I've been saying the same thing f0r 10 years now. McGwire is a coward! This brilliant PR work of Ari Fleisher doesn't make him
look any better. If you are going to come out and admit that you were cheating for the better part of a decade, at the very least, don't compound this fact by lying more. Don't say you took steroids to stay healthy and then appologize to Roger Maris' family for breaking his record while cheating! This will be the last you hear from me on anything involving this worthless scum. He isn't worth my type.
Speaking of the Cardinals, does St. Louis really have the best baseball fans, or do we just have nothing else to talk about? If you've been in St. Louis this past week, you may have thought that the Cardinals were playing in the World Series. But no...it was actually just the Winter Warm-Up. I've been in the past, and it's nothing to call home about. Sports talk radio is still talking it up though. Enough already!
Can't wait for both the championship games in the NFL. Lots of great story lines. I think a Super Bowl match-up between any of the four teams will draw big ratings. Either way, it's a win-win for CBS because of the star power on both sides.
Is anyone else intrigued by all of the coaching changes in pro and college football? All of it should be turned into a reality show hosted by Lee Corso. I'd watch religiously.
Finally, as I mentioned a few weeks ago regarding The Hangover, please stop quoting Jersey Shore on Facebook, Twitter, etc...even if you really are going to the gym, tanning salon and doing laundry - nobody cares!
That's it for now....I'll probably be back later this week with a countdown. For now though, make sure to vote in this week's poll. I guess my take on technology was off since a whopping twelve people voted in total, agreeing that text messaging is the most important inovation of the last decade - not itunes or the ipod.
