Here are the cable ratings, by number of viewers.
This will probably be the last week for quite some time that there’s a lot of football, football, football in the top 10. As for New Year, No Limits…did anyone else watch this snorefest? Two hours of behind the scenes info and descriptions of bikes and then the guy actually makes the football field jump with no problem!
Goodbye, Zoey is the season-ending Zoey 101 motion picture. Time will tell if it really is goodbye for good.
1. College Football - Clemson vs. Auburn (ESPN)
2. Goodbye, Zoey (Nickelodeon)

Echostar, the company behind the Dish Network and the Slingbox, is offering digital TV converters for $39.99. With the $40 coupon the government is offering for those with older sets that still use rabbit ears, the converters would end up being free.
Originally, the converter boxes were going to be offered between $50 and $70. Echostar is offering the converters at a discount in the interest of obtaining new customers and spreading their brand name.
Obviously, it’s a good idea. I can’t think of a single person who would pay $50 for something they could get for $40. It is a free-market situation that would warm the heart of most libertarians.

I remember a Saturday Night Live sketch from the late 1970’s where Harry Shearer was a DJ at a radio station that only gave the time of day. No music, no news, no weather — just the time. I am always reminded of that sketch each time I watch The Weather Channel. I mean, who would have thought that 24 hours worth of weather forecasts would ever amount to anything?
Landmark Communications apparently did when it started the channel back in 1982. Now, the network, along with its Weather.com site and various other enterprises, is bringing in billions of dollars to the communications company. Sadly, though, Landmark may lose this linchpin since the family that owns the privately-owned company is looking into putting it up for sale.

In his comment earlier, Ron Haynes from over at The Wisdom Journal said, “politicians think only about the next election, but statesmen think about the next generation.”
Consider that when you’re deciding for whom to vote.
Before you choose the ideology that makes you the most comfortable, think about your grandchildren’s kids and what kind of world you want to leave as your legacy.
Where do politicians stand with you?

Here are the weekly TV ratings, by number of viewers.
If aliens were to monitor our Television viewing and ratings, they might think that our entire civilization is structured around the game of football. Playoff games, bowl games, post-game coverage, even a “bridge” made the top 20 this week. Earth is a football-based society! NBC must be happy, not just about the football games that got on the list but the appearance of Celebrity Apprentice and the return of Law and Order.
1. NFL Playoff Game (NBC)
