I am noticing something... no Neilson’s that I can find out for last night as to what viewership happened to be. That’s usually indicative that he bombed. I’ve been busy and will admit to not searching to see what the actual share was, but I’d predict So You Think You can Dance got a lot more viewers than usual last night.

Looks like we found them just about simultaneously. Snicker... down double-digit percentage. I’d say the approval rating is probably pretty close to the TV ratings.

Good question? I won't be happy until the headlines read:

“””You can count on arrogance every time.”””

I always believed the stupidest people I have met were those that were arrogant

Probably worth a 75 point loss in IQ in the OB case
