  • USA Today hates on Martha but loves Lost [USA Today via Yahoo]
  • Speaking of which, The Apprentice: Martha Stewart disappoints in the ratings. That’s not a good thing. [Reuters]
  • Oh, and by the way, Nip/Tuck outperformed ABC, UPN, and The WB on Tuesday night. [Mediaweek]
  • What we learned from TV this year: things with “Current” in the title just are not that interesting. Yes, A Current Affair has been cancelled. In its place: Geraldo At Large. Sometimes, I hate TV. [Mediaweek]
  • Talk about “too post-postmodern,” the Los Angeles Times analyzes the scary and ironic JetBlue ordeal of yesterday, as related to TV, of course. [Los Angeles Times]

    I missed Martha’s show due to the fact all the stations were pre-empting due to tornado warnings and other weather-related things.

    Except for our ABC affiliate. They decided to air Lost on Channel 45 for the first half, back to the ABC station(5) for the second half.

    Kudos to KSTP for not ruining an hour of enjoyment.

    Lost was great. Nip/Tuck was great. TV is really rocking right now.

    Nothing about Toni Ferrari new pitch that is listed over at realityblurred.com. I know how TVGasm loves her.

    re: the LA TIMES story, it isnt post-modern as much as it is meta.

    of course martha tanked, because it was an ALL NEW LOST (recap show). wait and see until next week…
