TV Bites: Oprah Plunges to Record-Low Ratings
Also in this morning's TV Bites: The Hills goes out in a blaze of glory... Syfy taps musical talent for its strangest horror TV-film ever... and HBO spoils True Blood.
· With just over a year until The Oprah Winfrey Show retires from syndication, the talk show champ fell below a 3 in the ratings for the first time in the show's 24-year-history. Granted, the 2.9 rating came during a week of repeats that was preempted in 14 markets for Wimbledon tennis -- but still. [NYP]
· The Hills series finale drew 3 million viewers on Tuesday, which is over 70 percent more than last season's closer. [THR]
· Congratulations, Syfy, for casting the strangest made-for-TV horror movie this year. The Monkees vocalist and drummer Mickey Dolenz will join Tiffany and Deborah Gibson for the film called Mega Python vs. Gatoroid. [NYT]
· HBO has released descriptions of a few upcoming True Blood episodes. Spoilerphobes, beware. [zap2it]
· Pennsylvania lawmakers are investigating the legality of the Gosselin children's working permits. [NYP]

Well GEE!!! Oprah funded OB....anyone who supports OB has to be as stupid as they come!! She obviously wanted her own color....can't be anything else!!! Or would it be stupidity, not qualified, Muslim, no respect for America, rude, arrogant, greed, liar, a know it all and knows nothing about running anything, runs our personal affairs ie:
eating, heating, etc;. What smart American would support her??
Sorry guys but Obama is getting the things done he promised he would. Sorry all the fake jobs that W created for you were just a trick to keep you quiet... now that he and his cronies have run off with this country's wealth I can understand you being bitter. Too bad being dumb and bitter doesn't do anything for you in the long run!
Really Jake? I seem to remember Obama saying that he, unlike George W. Bush, would listen to what people want. 70% of Americans support Arizona's new anti-immigration law and want the government to enforce our laws. Obama chooses to ignore that and instead is suing Arizona and planning to grant immunity to people who are here illegally? How is that doing what the people want? He did the same thing when he rammed his health insurance agenda down our throats. Welcome to communism, America!
