NBC’s Bionic Woman scored an upset over ABC’s Private Practice in the 18-49 demo, 5.5 to 5.1 (though Private drew more viewers, 14.24 to Bionic’s 13.59.) CBS’ Criminal Minds also was strong in the 8 p.m. (CT) time period, so that may be bad news for CW’s Gossip Girl and Fox’s Kitchen Nightmares, both turning in less than spectacular ratings […]
Which one of these assholes deserve the Worst Person Of The Week award for making racist comments this week? Bill O’Reilly or former Top Model winner and Joilet’s own Adrianne Curry? (It looks like a tie. And personally, I’m glad Ms. Curry left here. How about you getting over getting screwed by Tyra?)
(One more item before we’re out of here for the weekend) More from the CW: – The winner of that Pussycat Dolls contest show last spring (Asia Nitollano) has turned down the offer to join the group and has decided to launch a solo career. As Nelson Muntz would say, “Ha, Ha!” – TV critics lambasted the Gossip Girl pilot, […]

According to the station’s news director, they will ask the Department of Tourism on advice on the […]
For the second year in a row, Chicago Bears offensive linesman-turned-broadcaster Tom Thayer has been selected to become the official spokesperson of the city of Joilet, a suburb southwest of Chicago. The response to the ad campaign has been overwhelmingly positive, according to city officials. Thayer, part of the 1985 Super Bowl Champion team, was a hometown football standout at […]
Monique Calhoun, who was eliminated on America’s Next Top Model last week, would fit right in working for either Rod Blagojevich’s or Judy Baar Topinka’s gubernatorial campaigns: http://www.tvguide.com/News-Views/Interviews-Features/Article/ default.aspx?posting={716E5AB9-09A1-409E-8DB5-764C2F4411E9} If Monique ran for governor, this loser would probably gather more votes than those other two losers.
