I just noticed that NBC is running the 90min SOI "infomercial" as counter programing to the US NATS Mens LP which is live, on saturday afternoon. Thats nuts, no one will watch it. What is Scotty thinking?
I'll be Skating with the Stars, LOL. You won't miss anything is you miss Lost. Nothing ever happens. Every week they tease us by saying, next week we are actually going to tell you something -- but they never do. Fool me one season, shame on you; fool me two seasons, shame on me, LOL.Linny said:Skating with the Stars is opposite LOST. I can't miss an episode of LOST!
Frau Muller said:It is a purposeful coincidence, with deception in mind, to grab viewers away from the 'real thing' (Nationals). The networks know that the average viewer -- Joe & Jane Public -- can barely tell the difference between elite eligible competition & a proskate. They're banking on a buncha idiots turning on their TVs on Sat afternoon, to watch Nationals, seeing skating on NBC, then stopping the channel-flipping on NBC.
By the way, FOX is doing the same thing during the Olympics -- several of their 'Skating with the Stars' episodes will air on nights in whch Olympic figure skating events will air! It'll be February 'Sweeps' Month then -- sneaky, sneaky on the part of FOX!
