  1. Anyone actually seen OVW events?
  2. Ugh, if the WB knew anything about quality TV then Angel wouldn't be canceled. The show gets good ratings for WB, and it is one of the top shows for the great 18-34 category. EW, TV Guide and various other critics do nothing but praise for Angel.
  3. The person who was raped, were they living at the house or not?
  4. This is actually interesting, I wonder it if will work: Ancier said the WB was looking to schedule more shows in a pattern of 22 first-run episodes over 22 consecutive weeks with each episode repeated once during the same week instead of later in the season. The idea is to avoid disrupting the continuity of programs, especially dramas, while giving added exposure to popular shows. WB did a 10 week run of Angel at the end of the season and it improved on the ratings.
  5. When Vince dies, and if Steph or Shane take over, do you think they'll be high on Hosses too?
  6. Don't go all Michael Jackson on us. I was waiting for that comment.

    Oh okay. Now I know, thanks!
  8. Last night, I also talked to random little kids after the show. One kid had the 50 greatest wrestlers of all time magazine and I told him it was a crock that Benoit wasn't on it. I walked away, then came back and told him never to like Triple-H. I told him he was really married to Steph, and the kid was all suprised. But he said: "I don't like him, he sucks. He does steroids and isn't good in the ring."
  9. Blah, I'll wait for the big 3 to report this.

    Yeah, I didn't realize how dumb spending $75 on hat would be. So I got the John Cena hat, just because it has the old school WWF(E) logo on it.
  11. WB Network Goes for Made-For-TV Movies Tue Jan 13, 6:03 PM ET Add Entertainment - Reuters to My Yahoo! By Steve Gorman LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - As it struggles to reverse a ratings decline in its target audience, the youth-oriented WB network is moving into an area the bigger broadcasters are shying away from -- made-for-TV movies. The 9-year-old network, owned by Time Warner Inc. and Tribune Co., on Tuesday announced the appointment of its first executive in charge of original movie programming, cable veteran Tana Nugent Jamieson. Jamieson comes from Time Warner’s cable movie and sports channel TBS, where she served as vice president of original programming and movies. She is credited with developing the successful TBS thriller, "Red Water," one of the highest-rated original movies on basic cable last year. The first film on Jamieson’s slate will be a period drama based on the turn-of-the-century Samantha character from the popular "American Girls" collection of dolls and books, a project seen as appealing to one of WB’s chief constituencies, young female viewers and their mothers. WB executives said they hoped to have the movie, to be executive produced by Hollywood actress Julia Roberts (news), ready to air by November of this year. By venturing into the realm of TV films, the network, home to such shows as "7th Heaven," "Everwood," "Reba" and "Smallville," is hoping to occupy a programming niche left by its bigger competitors. In recent years, ABC, CBS and NBC have increasingly moved away from original movies, finding them costly enterprises that often fail to deliver high enough ratings to justify the one-time expense of making them. "Broadcast television has largely abandoned the long-form genre to cable, particularly with content directed at young viewers," said WB’s co-CEO Jordan Levin in a statement. "We have had success with theatrical presentations and have decided that this would be a great time to expand into original production." WB co-Chairman Garth Ancier said the network would aim initially for four or five original films a year. WB’s move also comes as it deals with a marked decline in ratings, particularly among the 12- to 34-year-old viewers it has long considered its core audience. During the November ratings "sweep," the WB posted a ratings drop of 16 percent nationally among females aged 12 to 34 and 20 percent for the 12-to-34 age group overall. Like other networks, the WB blames much of the decline in younger demographics on recent changes in the way ratings tracker Nielsen Media Research collects its data. The TV movie venture marks one of the first initiatives under the new executive team led by Levin and Ancier, who are taking charge of the WB as CEO Jamie Kellner prepares to step down at the end of the current season. Ancier said the WB was looking to schedule more shows in a pattern of 22 first-run episodes over 22 consecutive weeks with each episode repeated once during the same week instead of later in the season. The idea is to avoid disrupting the continuity of programs, especially dramas, while giving added exposure to popular shows. In addition to original movies, the WB recently acquired rights for the first TV broadcast of "The Lord of the Rings" feature trilogy, with the first film in the series, "The Fellowship of the Ring," set to air in November this year. Parts two and three will debut in 2005 and 2006, respectively. The WB also has given veteran TV producer John Wells ("The West Wing," "ER," "Third Watch"), the go-ahead to develop a pilot episode for a new thriller based on the classic daytime gothic soap opera "Dark Shadows." All I have to say is blah.

    NBA Power Rankings

    Yeah, Minnesota. It's all because of Sprewell.
  13. Huh? Don't they give you the test on the spot, and it says your BAL? I love Garcia, but I think Rattay should start next season. Garcia is getting older and when he was injured, Rattay played excellent. Besides, Owens will be gone next year.
  14. Even though Wes used to be a horrible fighter, the man knew everything about vampires. Plus, I am sure somewhere off camera, he had a convo with someone in Sunnydale about Spike one way or another.
  15. Out of all of the reality shows that have been made, I am sure that ideas was thought of. Hell, it could have been made but just got lost in the shuffle.

  17. New Smallville tonight.
  18. Do we have any convicts here at TSM right now? It wouldn't surprise me. And this is fucked up.
  19. Ummm....it's funny because O'Haire said he is going to get pushed, even though he won't?
  20. People with way too much times on their hands... Like us...
