On TV

Reality, Non-Reality and Everything In-Between

Columnist Lisa de Moraes was online Friday, Jan. 23 at noon ET to take your questions about the drama, comedy and heartbreak of the world of television -- both onscreen and behind-the-scenes.

This week, Lisa chatted about the very odd "American Idol" auditions (which she blogged about here); about whether people watched "Lost" or "Lie to Me" on Wednesday night; and about how they watched the inauguration...TV, online or not at all.

The transcript follows.

Then take this week's survey about the TV news coverage of the inauguration.

De Moraes has written "The TV Column" for The Post since 1998. She served as the TV editor for the entertainment industry trade publication the "Hollywood Reporter" for almost a decade.

Lisa de Moraes: Hi. Just finished watching last night's "Grey's Anatomy" episode. For those of you who may have missed it:

Izzie: You're hell!

Denny: No, you're heaven!

Izzie: No, YOU'RE heaven! But I'm in hell!

Denny: You're a doctor -- figure it out!

(Viewer: my head hurts)

And, can someone please explain what was the epiphany here? Is Denny the angel of death who's come to take Izzie to heaven? Is it possible we are that lucky?

Let's kick things off with:

Los Angeles: Why does the most of the news media take it as gospel Nielsen's figure that 37.8 million watched the inauguration? Do they even bother to consider that this historic event would be watched en masse, and not individually at home?

Also, why is it a big news story when shows like "The Office" and "30 Rock" are renewed? I mean, they weren't even close to being on the bubble, right?

Lisa de Moraes:

They take it as gospel because they have nowhere else to turn. It's called "a monopoly"...and we all want answers in this crazy, mixed-up world we live in. So when Nielsen says they're telling us how many people watched Barack Obama being inaugurated, we do so badly want to believe....As you can tell from my coverage, I'm a lapsed believer. It's just silly, those Nielsen numbers, when you consider they do not include ANY office-viewing of this historic event which occurred in the middle of a workday...

You are absolutely right, they were not even close to being on the bubble.

Silver Spring, Md.: How's "Worst Week" doing? My husband and I think it's hilarious and watch every week, but nobody else we know watches it (we mostly get blank stares, "never heard of it" reactions when we bring it up). Are we that show's only fans?

Lisa de Moraes: Because it's a single camera, laugh-track-less comedy which is unusual for CBS's Monday, the best I can say is that it's doing okay and CBS really wants that experiment to work. Sadly, when "Rules of Engagement" returns to the slot, it's going to make the "Worst Week" numbers look lousy. What is David Spade's mysterious power over TV viewers?

_______________________

Tinseltown: I liked the show "Lie to Me." Not that I expect you to know the answer, and I know I don't know the answer (which is why I ask), yet I had read an article about police interrogations that debunked the theory that people's facial expressions accurately depict whether someone is lying or not. Now, maybe that article was wrong. Yet, if it is correct, is there any worry that this show could give the public the false impression that we can tell if someone is lying whenever someone does something shown on the show? Might this cause problems across the nation, increase the amount of fights and arguments, and..wait, I'm sorry. It is television. Television doesn't have to be factual, does it, and the more fights, the more people watching the show, right?

Lisa de Moraes: I think you just answered your own question. But this Dr. Ekman -- whose work is the basis for "Lie To Me" -- insists it's all terribly, terribly scientific, whereas the basis for "The Mentalist" is hooey, he says. Which is why Fox's show is so much better than CBS's. Of course, he neglected to say what an interrogator is supposed to do with a woman who's been arrested for murder whose face has been botoxed and stretched to within an inch of its life. Hopefully, Fox will do an episode of "Lie to Me" in which Joan Rivers guest stars as a murder suspect. Really put Dr. Ekman to the test...

_______________________

washingtonpost.com: Paul Ekman, the basis for Tim Roth's character in "Lie to Me."

Lisa de Moraes: Here's the cliff notes on Ekman...

_______________________

Alexandria, Va.: Pookie, please tell me Barack Obama is really President of the United States! I fear I may just be having a dream scripted by Aaron Sorkin!!

Lisa de Moraes: Sorkin wishes he'd thought of this right around the time "The West Wing" numbers were falling into the cellar. And, speaking of "The West Wing" and how it became strangely out-of-step and of-the-past when the Clinton's left the White House and the Bush administration took over, have you been watching "The Colbert Report" this week? It's like deja vu all over again. He really seems to be flailing about, trying to figure out what his show is now that Bush is out of office. Of course, the Obama administration is only a few days old and his audience is very loyal, but they've got some work to do to redefine that program.

_______________________

Re: Survey: What? No C-span?

Lisa de Moraes: My bad! - we used Nielsen's list. I'll see if we can get the poll fixed asap....

_______________________

Private Practice: Watching "Private Practice" last week I figured out what the problem is. The stories are WAAAAYYYY too rushed. Two weeks ago, Taye Diggs goes on one date, and the week after he has a girlfriend who is now hanging out with his daughter.

Two weeks ago Violet is sleeping with Tim Daly, then last week starts sleeping also with upstairs doc, and gets urinary tract infection, then this week she is pregnant? Last year, they did an entire infertility treatment -- in vitro -- in one day.

"Grey's Anatomy" does this drawn out thing where three seasons equals one calendar year. And "PP" does an in vitro - which takes a while with injections, etc.) in one episode? No one thinks there's anything wrong with introducing your daughter to someone you've gone out with once? And you know, it takes two weeks from sleeping with someone to find out you're pregnant.

If this is a show for women, written by at least some women, why is it so rush rush rush? And as someone who has experienced infertility, their cavalier treatment of what those damn treatments take REALLY pisses me off. I think they are totally missing the boat, and I love "Grey's Anatomy."

Lisa de Moraes: Yes, I too get the impression Shonda writes "Private Practice" episodes with a stop watch...

_______________________

RE: Inauguration ratings: Something like 40 people were watching the inauguration on the TV in my office, so the actual number is closer to 37,800,040 than 37,800,000.

I'll give you that information for free.

Lisa de Moraes: Hooray. Let's here from others. How many people were you watching the swearing in, at your office?

_______________________

Inauguration Viewers: Really, who cares how many Nielsen sets were watching?

Lisa de Moraes: Because, silly, we love horse races and want to know who won the Inauguration Derby -- Ronald Reagan or Barack Obama..

_______________________

Takoma Park, Md.: Where can I find the "Chuck" 3-D glasses? I've been to a bunch of grocery stores and not one of them has the glasses. I also called the number they gave a couple of times, but no one answered. Help! I really want to be able to watch "Chuck" in 3-D!

Lisa de Moraes: Can't you just use any old 3D glasses? Did that "Madagascar" 3D flick come out yet? I love that no one answered the phone number they listed. That is so NBC.

_______________________

Washington, D.C.: Well, one difference between "The Mentalist" and "Lie To Me" is that Tim Roth is a terrific actor who has worked with Stoppard, Tarantino etc. and the other guy is a veteran of two failed series

Lisa de Moraes: Okay, okay, okay, I get it, Roth is a brilliantactorwhatshedoingonatvseriesblah blah blah. But, Simon Baker has That Smile...

_______________________

Colbert Report: I completely agree with you about "The Report." In contrast, I think "The Daily Show" is doing pretty well. I think its target for the foreseeable future will be the ridiculous cable news media, with Obama worship coming in second. I think it has been making this transition throughout the campaign and the election.

Lisa de Moraes: It's easier for "The Daily Show" to make the switch. "Colbert Report" has a tougher job, figuring out how to re-cast itself. It will be interesting to watch what they do.

_______________________

Alexandria, Va.: The most cringe-worthy inaugural coverage moment, when our favorite, Ann Curry, reached out to pat the cheek of her interviewee on the Mall, with such great empathy. But no, wait -- it gets worse, NBC ran that moment again late at night in their inaugural wrap-up. Double ick! Can we start a petition drive to have her named ambassador to somewhere-very-far-away?

Lisa de Moraes: No! She used the Cheek Pat? I thought that move was reserved only for moments of National Tragedy. It's in the On-Air National News Talent Bag O'On-Air Tricks Guidebook. This is huge. Ann Curry has gone rogue...

_______________________

washingtonpost.com: Ann Curry on the National Mall (Hulu.com)

Lisa de Moraes: Here it is folks. Ann Curry going rogue.

_______________________

Woodbridge, Va.: I watched the inauguration with a maintenance man for my apartment complex, when he stopped by to replace my air filters. He happened to be from Sierra Leone, which was kinda cool in an "only in America way." So make that 37,800,041.

Lisa de Moraes: Done...

_______________________

Reagan's Inauguration: Of course fewer people watched it, but there were only three channels, and most of his fans were at work.

Lisa de Moraes: When there were only three channels does not mean there were fewer people watching. It just means they were watching on fewer channels. Seriously. The broadcast networks used to get much bigger audiences for everything, back in the day when they were the only game in town. Now, they get a much smaller slice of the pie. That said, there were fewer people in this country back then, though I'm not sure the difference is enough to factor in.

_______________________

Vienna, Va.: Another difference between the "Mentalist" and "Lie to Me" is that the "Mentalist" is actually fun, not a tedious, one-hour death march.

Lisa de Moraes: I too wonder whether watching slo-mo shots of someone curling the left side of their upper lip an eighth of an inch will get old by, say, episode No. 9.

_______________________

Political Comedy: Jay Leno is amassing clips of Biden's behavior (well, he has two so far) setting Obama's teeth on edge. I'm looking forward to more...

Lisa de Moraes: What a great idea...that Roberts crack Biden delivered in front of the news media has to have been one of them, right?

_______________________

Washington, D.C.: Did you see "The Daily Show" inauguration coverage? Hilarious!

washingtonpost.com: The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (Hulu.com, Jan. 20)

Lisa de Moraes: Oh, and speaking of Comedy Central's late night shows in re: new administration, here's "The Daily Show's" terrific live inaugural show...I'll get you Colbert's next...

_______________________

Washington, D.C.: I met Ann Curry on the Mall! She was trying to run from us commoners, but I got her to pose for pictures. She looks really different in person. I think she uses Barbra Walters lighting...

Lisa de Moraes: Funny, I thought she ran towards commoners. It was one of her most endearing traits. And I don't care what you say, I still think Curry's lovely to look at. I covet her hair. And that black suit...

_______________________

Add two more: Watched it with my kids, 3 and 15 months. They loved the music, not impressed with the speeches. My 3-year-old really liked any and all shots of the Sasha and Malia, and any other kids for that matter.

Lisa de Moraes: Yes, the Obama children are so sweet it makes my teeth ache. But in Nielsen homes, children are in fact counted, so unless you were watching with your two children at your office we, sadly, should not add them to the list...

_______________________

washingtonpost.com: The Colbert Report (Hulu, Jan. 20)

Lisa de Moraes: ..here's "Colbert Report's" inaugural show...

_______________________

RE: That said, there were fewer people in this country back then: Also, people back then were smaller, so there was almost certainly less total body mass watching, regardless of the final tally of individual eyeballs.

Lisa de Moraes: Tonnage -- that's what we need to tally, the tonnage watching various inaugurations. I will suggest Nielsen begin asking everyone to step on a scale that has been hooked up to Nielsen HQ before watching major TV moments like a presidential inauguration. Super Bowl too, and Oscars, of course...

_______________________

Chicago: We had at least 200 people at our office watching the inauguration -- they set up big TVs in the conference rooms so we wouldn't slow down the network by watching streaming video on our computers. It was awesome.

But I still think it's weird when people applaud something happening on TV, since they can't hear you.

Lisa de Moraes: Adding 200 to the list. And you're chatting with someone who throws dinner rolls at the TV when something in a show is annoying, so I totally get the applause thing. But if you were watching with 200 people you were watching with an audience bigger than that of some CW shows, so it's okay to applaud... it's in the rulebook.

_______________________

Prison Break: Thankfully, Fox will be ending "Prison Break" (It was WAY too convoluted).

However, I have been watching and want to know if the series finale will let us know what happens to Michael and Lincoln or will the show abruptly end without concluding the story.

Lisa de Moraes: Wish I knew. (Okay, actually I don't)...But speaking of convoluted, how about that "Lost"? Can we now say that on this show absolutely everything is a reference to something else? Does anyone else still have a headache from watching the latest episode?

_______________________

Puppy Bowl?: Is it safe to assume there will be a Puppy Bowl this year? I really enjoyed the Puppy Olympics though, with all the various sporting events. I hope I'm not bored by football alone. Will the kittens have their half time show too? There were no kittens during the Olympics.

Lisa de Moraes: Oh yes, my friend, there will be a Puppy Bowl, there will be a Kittens Halftime show. And, the people at Animal Planet tell me, this year, for the first time ever, a parrot is going to open the games, singing the national anthem. Must See TV...I pity the fool who has agreed to sing the anthem on the human Super Bowl and has to compete with a parrot.

_______________________

Alexandria, Va.: What is the deal with Chris Matthews?

During the parade he was commenting at the nice, life-like painting of the White House behind the president's viewing booth.

Lisa de Moraes: I think Mr. Matthews may have finally lost his last marble.

Lisa de Moraes: ...and here's the footage to prove it.

_______________________

Ann Curry: Pookie, did you know that Ann Curry was once one of People's 50 Most Beautiful People? I won a radio station trivia contest because I knew that. And I thought I'd never prosper off my knowledge of the useless.

washingtonpost.com: Beautiful at Every Ag (People)

Lisa de Moraes: Pookie, I have made a whole career out of it. Meanwhile, my brilliant producer has found the People reference, so the rest of you can brush up. Meanwhile, what exactly did you win on this radio station trivia contest? I hope it was big.

_______________________

Do Jumbotrons count as TVs?: I and a million or two other people watched the swearing-in that way.

Lisa de Moraes: I doubt that Nielsen included all the people watching on the Jumbotron in Time's Square. I wondered when I was writing that story whether they counted the people in Washington who weer "attending" the event but who were so far away from where it was taking place they too were watching on monitors. Shouldn't they be counted?

_______________________

Nielsen competition: Lisa have you ever considered lobbying Congress to force the American Time Use Survey to collect data on what specific shows people are watching? Shouldn't government provide data that we can really use? The first Friday of every month could then have the monthly jobs report and TV report released simultaneously.

washingtonpost.com: American Time Use Survey (Bureau of Labor Statistics)

Lisa de Moraes: This is a wonderful idea and I will look into it. Can't be any worse than Nielsen numbers and if Nielsen has some actual competition they might step up and start counting the gajillions who are slipping through the cracks in their methodology...

_______________________

Counting Tonnage: At last, we have a marketable application for addressable advertising:

When a show reaches a certain level of tonnage viewership, we can sell half the time to McDonald's and the other half to Jenny Craig!

Lisa de Moraes: And that new TV show. "Cooking Yourself Thin" (ick, ick, ick) would want to know in order to decide where to place it's on-air ads. This is useful information on so many levels. On that subject, Nielsen just put out its Fun Facts on the Super Bowl and insists NFL fans are more fit than the rest of the country, or something like that. I'm having a hard time believing this.

_______________________

Berkeley, Calif.: I watched Obama's inauguration at UC Berkeley, which rented a giant TV so 10,000 of us could watch.

I'm sure many other universities did the same.

So did probably many black and minority communities.

Are they all represented by Nielsen?

Lisa de Moraes: Nope! Another "crack." Nielsen only fairly recently started counting a college student who was a member of a Nielsen home but who had left home to attend a college. They're counting that student. Otherwise, colleges don't exist in Nielsen's universe. Likewise offices, bars, hotel rooms. It's crazy...

_______________________

Tell me if it's true, please: Will David Spade be back on TV? I've seen a few promos for "Rules of Engagement." Can't stand the show but get this awful thrill watching him.

Lisa de Moraes: Please describe in greater detail the "awful thrill" you get. Seriously. I'm trying to understand how David Spade continues to work and thrive in television. It's inexplicable, so far as I can tell.

_______________________

Friday shows: Lisa, if Friday's are where networks put shows to die, what's to be made of "Numb3rs"? It's always been on Friday nights. Is is any good? Worth investing any time in?

Lisa de Moraes: CBS is the Friday exception. CBS has figured out how to program Fridays. And, in the interest of complete accuracy, Saturday is also where networks put shows to die. They will sometimes pre-empt "Rerun Theatre" on Saturday nights to burn off episodes of dead shows.

_______________________

Washington, D.C.: Will the parrot wear a fabulous church hat to sing the national anthem like Aretha Franklin?

Lisa de Moraes: I have no details but am guessing, since the Puppy Bowl is now sponsored by Animal Planet owned petfinder.com, which is a serious site for placing rescue animals, that the parrot will not be dressed up like a performing monkey. That seems way too off-brand for that Web site, or for Animal Planet, for that matter.

But, getting to your other, important point, why is everyone showing no love for Aretha's hat? I've heard so many people, on TV and off, nick the fabulous Aretha over that hat. I loved that hat. I could never wear that hat, but I have nothing but admiration for people who can pull that off.

_______________________

Reston, Va.: Hi Lisa,

I just wanted to say how much I loved the bit at the end of today's column about how "The Mentalist" is like a neighborhood bar you can just stop into. That's the way I feel about "How I Met Your Mother" too.

washingtonpost.com: With Six-Minute Maneuver, Fox's Gain Is ABC's 'Lost' (Post, Jan. 23)

Lisa de Moraes: It's pretty much CBS's whole primetime programming strategy, if you come right down to it. Oh, except its other strategy: Gore. Not Al, just gore...

_______________________

Baltimore: What's the word on the new ad agency-based TV series on TNT starring Eric McCormack and the guy who was in "Ed"? They keep trumpeting, "From the producers of 'The Closer,' " so I am not sure if they are a writer and art director who solve murders, or if that is too much NBC Mystery Movie. Seriously, is it supposed to be any good? (I've been in advertising for 25 years, so I worry.)

Lisa de Moraes: "Trust Me" is nothing short of the Perfect Television Show. The network announced the other day they'd made a big deal with Dove to include products and a Dove storyline in the show.

Think about it; because it's about a contemporary ad agency, which is all about marketing products to the public, it is perfectly appropriate for every episode to include a storyline about a different, actual product out there and for that product to be splashed all over every scene.

The product-placement opportunities here are mindboggling. I'm guessing "Mad Men" creator Matt Weiner is kicking himself right now for not having thought of this. He stupidly set his show in the '60s. Great fashion, but where does that get him? One deal with the house of Michael Kors?

_______________________

Nosy Parker: Oh Pookie, not only did I love Aretha's hat, but if you saw some of the views of it from the side and back, it looked as though it could actually have helped keep her head warm in that cold weather.

washingtonpost.com: Robin Givhan also liked it.

Lisa de Moraes: Fab and practical -- how many women's hats can make that claim?

_______________________

Pushing Daisies: Pookie, is there any news about when the last few episodes will air? They wouldn't force the show's devoted fans to buy on DVD, would they?

Lisa de Moraes: All ABC is saying at this point is you will have to wait until at least June to see the final episodes but that they will air.

_______________________

Hey: How many episodes have they ordered for "Reaper"?

Lisa de Moraes: Ten.

_______________________

Silver Spring, Md.: My favorite Idol hopefuls so far are the "Wicked" cast member with David Cook post-makeover hair and the girl who grew up poor and sung one of her own songs at the audition. What about you? Also, down with Bikini Girl!

Lisa de Moraes: I love them all like they were my own children. Except, of course, Nasal Bikini Girl. Do think "Wicked" guy will go far.

_______________________

Arlington, Va.: I absolutely loved Aretha's hat.

Lisa de Moraes: Bravo!

_______________________

Bowie, Md.: Look, President Obama gets 100 days before we rush to judge him. Don't you think Colbert has earned at least that many days? (Okay, he's only on four days a week, so let's say he has 14 weeks to figure out how to be funny in this administration.)

Lisa de Moraes: Agreed. We'll check in again in 100 days.

_______________________

Super Bowl: Um, I think that poor Jennifer Hudson is scheduled to sing the anthem. That girl has been through a lot.

Lisa de Moraes: Aarghhhhh! And now they're adding "competing with a parrot" to her problems. Poor woman -- but great stunting on NFL's part...

_______________________

Nielsen: This Nielsen inauguration frufraw is just another example in how I hate this monopoly. So little is publicly known about their methodology and yet everything on TV lives and dies by these numbers.

I know it is ridiculous for me to harp on this, but I've loved way too many shows that got canceled when they seemed to have large fan bases because they had lousy ratings. Why do we believe these ratings are in any way representative? Oh yeah, because they're the only ones out there. Argh.

Rant over, sorry.

Lisa de Moraes: You are preaching to the choir.

_______________________

Colbert et al: What are they going to do, now that they seem to be unwilling to make jokes about the new president? Is the unwatchable "SNL" just going to keep rolling out Palin sketches?

Lisa de Moraes: I think the Palin frenzy is over for "SNL" but they have to be wishing they hadn't just lost Poehler now that Hillary Clinton is in such a prominent position. I'm guessing we'll see her back from time to time and full-time if her new sitcom is scrubbed. I've read the script for her new NBC sitcom and it's good.

_______________________

New York: Pookie,

Just curious, but are you related to Ron de Moraes? I see his name as director of a number of TV shows, including "Don't Forget the Lyrics." And of course, he directed the first Ginsu knife commercial.

Lisa de Moraes: I got together with Ron once when I first started at The Hollywood Reporter. Each armed with his/her phonebook sized family tree, we kinda attempted to figure it out but eventually gave up, exhausted, and decided we would simply say we believe we are "cousins" of some sort.

_______________________

Down with bikini girl: You could tell by Simon's attitude and comments that they'd already been told she was going to Hollywood regardless of how she did in the audition. Gotta up the viewership!

Lisa de Moraes: Not sure it helped, given that numbers are down again this year so far. Bikinis as ratings boosters is a really tired old notion which I think reached its peak during "Laugh In" with Goldie Hawn. These days, the Viacom networks -- Vh1, MTV, Spike, etc. seem to show at least one bikini chick per hour and it's cheapened the whole thing, which is so sad.

_______________________

a big deal with Dove to include products and Dove storyline in the show: Dove, the skin-care products or Dove, the ice cream bars? It makes a difference.

Lisa de Moraes: Dove the skin-care product, but isn't it just a matter of time before they also sign up Dove, the ice cream bars?

_______________________

Radio Station Trivia Contest Winner: I won a People Almanac for whatever year that was. I actually drove 30 minutes out of my way to pick up that thing. What a great prize!

Lisa de Moraes: Yikes. I mean, congratulations.

_______________________

Herndon, Va.: The Divine Ms. deM: My nominee for perhaps the greatest TV show title of all time (okay, maybe this month) -- the Animal Planet's "Killer Jellyfish."

Lisa de Moraes: That's hilarious. Sounds like a new segment on Colbert's show.

_______________________

Arnold, Md.: We watched the inauguration online. The stream from MSNBC kept freezing up and gradually got to be about seven minutes behind real life, so we jumped to Hulu, which was showing the Fox News feed. The stream on Hulu was very good, and the Fox News folks did fine, including some very fine pictures, until their talking heads started talking.

Lisa de Moraes: Given all the problems you were having -- freezing up, FNC talking heads, etc. -- why didn't you just, um, turn on a TV set? I know it's very old school, but it works.

_______________________

Washington, D.C.: "I've read the script for her new NBC sitcom and it's good."

So I guess we can count on it being canceled soon, huh?

Lisa de Moraes: NBC can't afford to cancel it soon, given the deals it has made on this show. So you're in luck if you are a fan of a) Amy Poehler or b) Greg Garcia.

_______________________

De More Eyes on De TV De Better: I am loving me some "Lost." Ever since they announced an end-date, it's been great. I am worried though that since it's so expensive to produce, and doesn't do great in the ratings, that there's a chance the economy could force ABC to cancel it prematurely. Are my worries just paranoia or founded?

Lisa de Moraes: Don't worry, the end game is short enough ABC will stick with it. And, while the numbers are down, it still clocked about 12 million-ish which these days is great at ABC. And, it's audience skews young, which also buys it more goodwill...

_______________________

Lie to Me vs. Mentalist: I usually think Fox is kind of smart, but if they think "Lie to Me" can compare in anyway to "The Mentalist" they aren't looking for the tell-tale clues. "The Mentalist" is gorgeous and charming, the guy on "Lie to Me" isn't either of these things. Who cares about the facial tics, it's all about gorgeousness!

Lisa de Moraes: So true. And yet, I feel compelled to say Roth really is very good in "Lie to Me." And I'm told America loves whatshername, his sidekick, though I've never gotten that...

_______________________

More on Private Practice: I think it's not just that the story lines are so rushed, it's that there are so many crammed into a single episode! Seriously, I'm pretty sure she didn't even wrap them all up last week. What happened to the sick girl and her dad? They weren't even mentioned this week . . .

Lisa de Moraes: Let's face it, the show's a mess. I'm out of time. We'll keep poll question up for a while. At this moment, BBC America is ahead with 22 percent of the vote, followed by Cn with 20 percent and Daily Show at 18 percent. Poor ABC, CBS and NBC.....vote now, vote often! Bye.
