"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

In both the book and movie, Hawkeye was from Maine, so the Vermont reference was more likely an error that they fixed later.

As was the man who used Richard Hooker as his pen name, IIRC.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yeah, I was upset because George Michael was the only other person who could have been the rapist, but I'm glad they didn't follow through with that.

I also figured George Michael HAD to be the rapist. Nevertheless, Cera was so good last night. That kid is a national treasure. A treasure!

So...if Hearst is Sunnydale High (I forget where that is), is the cast going to film in LA next season?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Hearst was UCSD and San Diego State.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I was worried about that as well. I'm glad he can be back next year.

Do you guys think there's any way for a HS show to actually have some suspense wrt college?

I loved the campaign poster a lot. If it weren't for yesterday's House, it would have been my favourite thing this week (not just on tv)

eta: also loving the love-fest between VM and AD

Hey. New board.

I briefly thought Rory might actually go to Harvard for a while. But then I realized that I didn't care at all. (Season 3 of Gilmore Girls - not the finest TV ever.)

Also, yeah, yesterday's House rocked.

What is even happening?

Last week's ratings were fine. About the same as the week before. I'm not sure what your friend is talking about.

What's going on with the ratings, in general? I'm seeing people in LJ-land (like Shannon) saying the ratings are worrisome, and Rob sort of indicating the same thing, only less urgently.

The ratings suck. The end.

We're about a million viewers short of what we need.

And our retention out of ANTM blows.

Here is a visual representation of our suckiness:

Woe to the fucking wicked.

The change of day makes sense, then (even if it is personally quite irritating)

So you were just in denial land when you said:

Oh, that graph indicates the ratings are better than season 1, though. Am I interpreting it correctly? You know, with all the changes, I can't see how the ratings would have improved. Last year it was on Tuesdays. This year it was on Wednesdays. Then they started advertising for Feb sweeps, but instead, took it off the air during, and as a last minute decision, so the Olympics wouldn't kill it. People have a hard time finding shows after stuff like that. Now they're moving it back to Tuesdays in another two and a half weeks. I am hoping a lot of Lost viewers turn in.

I wish Sayid would pick up some stray radio message about it moving back to Tuesday nights.
