The Ratings Are in for 1/2 Hour News Hour
10-10:30PM FOX 1/2 Hour News Hour:
Rating: 0.9
Share: 1.5
HUT (Households Using Television) Level: 65.7%
Estimated Viewers: 1,033,000
Ratings went up 11% from the previous half hour and fell 33% for the next show, which was "The Line Up."
— Just as a comparison, at that hour CNN did a 0.5 rating with just 570,000 viewers. MSNBC did a 0.2 with 219,000 viewers.
— And at that hour a week before on FOX, they only did a 0.5 with 519,000 viewers for "War Stories with Oliver North."
In English: excellent ratings!
It looks like the only things on Cable that beat it in that time slot were the re-run of Futurama on "Adult Swim" with a 1.4 rating and "Patch Adams" on USA also with a 1.4 rating.
If the show can score another 0.9 for the next new broadcast of the show, it looks like the only Conservative leaning comedy show on TV will probably be picked up.
This is very good news.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
That's great news....my roomie and I have satellite tv....with tivo...I will tape it for the next showing....
Just wait until Fox rolls out its business channel later this year...it will probably blow CNBC away.

Yes, it is good news. Liberals are already whining, accusing the show of "racism," etc. What a shock. Just wait, liberals will now demand that Fox give them equal time to rebut all the comedy in the show.

What about the late night talk show hosts? Most of it is not biting, but it will never carry conservatibve jokes but cabn have some liberal ones (if those are the right words)
What about the Daily Show? that's not liberal?
Saturday Night Live - I haven't seen recently.
You know Mad magazine has now gotten bad - has jokes that are based on prejudices about Bush.

The excerot is not really good - and much money unless the idea is tio poke fun at the two people featured in the skit or maybe at people who attack them (the comment by Ann Coulter at the end)
It went by too fast actually.
By the way remember teh initial high ratings Katie Couric on the CBS Evening News.
