Tuned InTV Ratings
In the current Lost thread, commenter archstanton68 goes off-topic to make an offer that deserves its own post (if only because I have little time to write posts myself today):
OT – I got a Nielsen diary in the mail the other day. anyone have any struggling shows for me to help out in the ratings?

Before you read this post, quit dancing with that girl, turn your attention to the multiple video monitors, and watch last night’s Lost.
A few weeks ago I stopped by the New York outpost of Renzo Piano — his main office is in Genoa — to talk with him about the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, another one of his multitude of commissions. When it’s finished — the scheduled completion date is 2015 — the Center will provide a home for both the National …

I will admit it: I have not had any interest in an edition of The Bachelor/ette since the first G. W. Bush term. But it appears that the whole Internet is abuzz about the season of The Bachelor that concluded last night, so might as well put up a discussion post, for anyone interested. The controversy over last night’s finale: …

Not a shock but too bad, anyway: Life on Mars is being cancelled. I can’t say I will miss it deeply; after a very strong pilot, the show vacillated between being a mystery about how Sam got trapped in the ’70s and simply being a ’70s cop show with a twist.
