- Okay, okay. Things aren't all bleak for NBC. The Weitz Brothers (American Pie, About A Boy) have signed a two year pact with NBC Universal Televisions Studios -- or "NUTS" as Variety affectionately calls it. [Variety]
- The Los Angeles Times tries to go all Virginia Heffernan-ish by calling the cast members of Rockstar: INXS "great cultural anthropologists." It's funny. I always thought Dave Navarro was the next Levi-Strauss. [Los Angeles Times]
- Oh, and by the way, no one's watching TV this summer -- except the people who have suddenly made Navy NCIS a top-ten show. WTF? [Los Angeles Times]

All those people who made Navy: NCIS a top ten hit are all middle aged women. And They all work in my office building.

I love Martha Stewart. I'm sure the show w/ be just as dumb as Trumps' show, but I won't hold it against her.

I admit, I have been watching Navy NCIS this summer. But that is only because nothing else is on during that hour that I want to watch. I only hope that is everyone else's reason, as well.

Don't worry, Peacock! It'll be alright soon.

I watch NCIS mostly because I interned at the actual NCIS this summer, in the department who handles the tv show and actors. I started watching because I got tired of pretending I knew what the hell everyone was talking about. And also so when I watch I can say to myself "ppppshhhh, that's not how they do it there."
