Some Links

by

I am heading down to Jacksonville tonight for the Florida-Georgia game for the weekend (which used to be inncuously labeled: “The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party”. School administration however, decided to drop the title in hopes of curbing excessive alcohol consumption. I really couldn’t care less if they keep the moniker or not, but I’ll let you know if it works). And will be unable to post until Sunday night/Monday morning. Here are some links to pass the time:

Great expose from ABC News on The Wire.

Just to prove Buzz Bissinger’s point, here is a ratings summary from Tuesday night. This is alarming. And I do not even watch baseball.

Related to the above link, this is why putting Friday Night Lights in a Monday night time slot might be worth reconsidering.

If you saw O’Reilly on Letterman a few months ago, round two looks just as promising. Regarless of your political convictions, this should be entertaining.

CSI proves it must be nice to have some expendable cash.

    Have fun at your Cocktail Pary…err…Football Game.

    I agree, that statistic about Dancing with the Stars and the World Series is disturbing. And I think baseball is relentlessly boring.

We also provide a weekly links post that keeps you informed on all worthwhile topics in the television industry. In short, if you watch Desperate Housewives, American Idol, Grey's Anatomy or Two and A Half Men... this isn't the site for you (451 Press provides other such pages you can link to at the bottom). With a couple exceptions, we try to focus our efforts on the more cerebral qualities of your idiot box.
