this is quick: lone star almost out already

[wishfulclicking]

So it was bad, but I didn't fully expect this already.

Lonestar is more of a cable show and its ratings show that. I was wishing I could see how things were going to play out but now I don't even expect to see much more of this show. Probably talk more about it later.

That's a shame. I'm one of the millions of people who didn't watch, but that's mostly because I forgot it was on.

I don't really follow TV in the sense of ratings and competition and cancellations, so I was interested to read an interview today from someone with a foot in both network and cable success, and learned some really obvious things, like that broadcast networks have to fill timeslots with original programming, where for the most part cable networks... dont.

I think its probably on the monkeysee_feed if you're interested, but I can look for it in the morning, if not.

I just read the piece on Monkeysee and the follow up posted today. I watched the premiere but I guess it doesn't count because I'm not a Nielsen house. For the longest time I thought every tv had a chip in it that transmitted what everyone was watching.

A major part of it, to me, is that there are a ton of different options for entertainment.

Wow... That makes me so sad. I knew it did badly, but I had no idea it did that badly. Figures. *sigh*

Ugh, yeah. I'm getting that sinking feeling that I had with Kings.
