No surprise here: The National League Championship Series between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies averaged an anemic 2.8 rating and 6 share on TBS, down 61 percent from last year’s series between the New York Mets and the St. Louis Cardinals, which aired on Fox. This year’s NLCS ended in a four game sweep with the Rockies sweeping […]
On October 16, 2006, Dennis Green created that famous phase after the Cardinals lost to the Bears 24-23 in an amazing game. Here’s a Coors Light parody (not the commercial that’s on the air now, but created a few months after Green’s press conference.)
… and possibly to a decently-rated World Series if either the Yankees and/or Red Sox don’t advance in the playoffs. Look for the World Series to join the NBA Finals and Stanley Cup Finals in the ratings dumpster if neither team makes it there.

Twentieth’s Family Guy surged 20 percent in the ratings to nab a 4.2, while CBS’ Raymond fell 3 percent to a 3.7. Warner Bros.’ Two and a Half Men finished with a 3.3, ahead […]
Check out Chuck and The Big Bang Theory, both of which got mixed reviews. They are my picks to click for tonight (you at home select yours), as well as Heroes. On the other hand, skip Journeyman, as there have been many time-travel shows on the tube over the years (Quantam Leap, Time Trax), and this one isn’t necessarily better. […]

Several Congressmen introduced introduced legislation called the Protection Children from Indecent Programming Act, which “requires the FCC to maintain a policy that a single word or image may be considered indecent in enforcing regulations concerning the broadcast of indecent programming over the public airwaves.” So, where is the anti-gun legislation to protect our children? No wonder Congress and politicians in […]

Borrowing a line from Steve Rosenbloom’s blog… Tonight’s Emmys or Chargers-Patriots? Both right now make you seem thankful for 500 channels…
The nation’s TV critics were polled, and they nominated Pushing Daises as their click to pick, while they pegged Cavemen as their pick to make them sick.

First trend for Chicago stations – WGN a dominant number one (thanks to the Cubs), with WGCI (and WLIT) performing like the White Sox…
One anchor sleeps with the mayor, she keeps her job; one anchor shows up at the Stebic house, she loses her job. Both employed by the same company. Something’s not connecting here. Then again, it is the world of television news, right?
The local Onion continues to stir up controversy in its paper rather than report the facts. Take a look at this article from Friday regarding a racially changing Southwest Side neighborhood.
