Tired of the
Messiah?
Are
you still eating cupcakes? We do not approve.
NOT SO GOOD, SELAH. Our national know-it-all commanded the majority of the nation's airwaves last night. Mrs. CP and I were reduced to watching the second episode of "Drop Dead Diva.." (Not bad, all things considered. She's sweet, though not as sweet as Penny...)
Nielsen had a different view of the proceedings:
Fox’s decision not
to show President
Barack Obama’s primetime news conference last night paid off with a
ratings bump for “So You Think You Can Dance.”
The two-hour “Dance” saw its adults 18-49 average rise 8 percent week to week, from a 2.6 to a 2.8, according to Nielsen overnights, giving Fox an easy victory on the night.
At 8 p.m., the two-hour “Dance” averaged a 2.8, up 8 percent from last week’s 2.6. It likely gained some viewers airing against the Big Three networks’ coverage of Obama’s chat.
Ratings for that hour are approximate for ABC, CBS and NBC, because these early numbers are based on timeslot and not actual program performance.
According to the overnights, the Big Three combined for 16.5 million total viewers during the one-hour press conference.
But it looks as though all three will be down from the previous week in the 8 p.m. slot. ABC scored the biggest 18-49 rating in the hour, a 1.5. Final ratings, plus a tally for broadcast and cable coverage of the speech, will be out later today. [emphasis mine]

Awwww.
Maybe he needs to show us his stigmata. Or stop lecturing us like he's "all that." He isn't. Feedback welcome.
