Twice as many folks watched that stupid football game than the 9-11 show. This speaks volumes about what kind of people inhabit this nation these days.
I love football, although not so much the pros, but Lord in Heaven......
I guess if the peckerhead who tried to blow himself up at the Oklahoma game last year had been successful, these idiots might start paying attention.
Not fair, many people who watched the game probably recorded. Also, many chose not to watch after news that ABC caved to the Arkansaw Mafia.
Don't take it so personal because actually more than 13 million will see it. When there's a conflict between a sport and a show most people will record the show because it's no fun to watch a game after one knows the outcome and they can always go back to the show.
Actually it says nothing. Twice as many people watched the football game as watched the ABC 9/11 show alone, add in the people that watched the CBS show and 9/11 edges the NFL in the primary broadcast networks. Haven't seen any numbers for the various cable shows but I'm sure if you add all the 9/11 shows together (and remember there were plenty, Sunday night, even Friday and Saturday and still more coming tonight) they stomp the football game.
I disagree.
The truth is, I caould care less about a "DocuDrama" where the details are changed or omitted to make the story better. The Discovery Channel did an excellent job of running it all down, without having to insert fiction. I watched them all. There are plenty of documentaries (a dozen, at least) that accurately depict all the incidents related to 9/11 from Osama as a kid up to present day.
If the facts had been portrayed accurately and completely, then there would be no way to challenge the Mini-Series by the Dems. As it was, the producers supplied plenty of ammo to shoot it up, and I lost all interest.
Bring on the Football!!!
"Twice as many folks watched that stupid football game than the 9-11 show. This speaks volumes about what kind of people inhabit this nation these days."
One would suspect most of the football viewers were macho male, who don't need to be convinced to kick Osama's butt. If that forced the females to watch CBS or ABC on Osama, then all is not lost.
Why would you call those of us who watched the football game peckerheads? I don't believe a television "docudrama" from ABC is going to enlighten me. I believe down to my soul that the Clinton administration didn't have the guts to confront the terrorists, which just emboldened them. Besides, it is still clear in my brain what happened on 9/11, I saw the real thing, not the made for t.v. version. Personally, I can't watch all this political stuff all the time BECAUSE of the lies and twisting of the truth, it makes my brain hurt. And as another poster pointed out, you tivo it and watch it in its entirety.
It was a terrible movie...I turned it off after 90 minutes.
