It is Saturday, February 24. Fifteen days ago, Anna Nicole Smith died. Now, she haunts my TV. Nancy Grace Weekend, (which sounds more like a horror movie title than a news and information show) is all over the custody hearing. Over on the Fox Noise, they're discussing the nutty judge and Britney, who isn't dead, although she still haunts.
This is telling me that, either (a) I do not understand the wants and needs of the American consumer, or (b) The news programs are off on their own, and people really are not watching.
I'm thinking "a".
People in charge of programming TV shows do not aimlessly put shows on the TV. They methodically go over demographics and viewer ratings to determine just what and when people are watching. Like some kind of demented network TIVO, they know what we think we want, and they have determined that we want more Anna Nicole stuff. I ask myself how they can tell...
Since it's on 24/7, it might be hard to differentiate between whether we (a) like stories about her or (b) just tune in to see if there is finally something newsworthy going on.
I'm thinking "b".

A three post day! Wow!
I turn the tv off whenever this crap comes on. Or at least change the channel.
Who the hell is watching this nonsense?
As for network decisions about endless repetition, done in hopes of catching viewers interested--even against own conscious wishes--in hearing some closure, I am imagining the human male reproductive approach: spew a whole lot in hopes that one will connect. It only takes one and it only takes a short time to get results.
Anyway, I just encountered your blog and loved it. We are in agreement on many things.
o Nancy Grace was here in SAvannah. I saw a little blurp on the news and she was saying that we the people need to be educated on getting our funeral decision in order before we die, THAT is why she is going on about the Anna Nicole shit. She is informing the people that Anna Nicole is like any one of us, that we need to be prepared so the stuff that is happening to Anna Nicole doesn't happen to us.
Um ok, first of all I'm not going to have a baby father by god-knows-who and be videotaped all doped up putting on clown makeup....i can't stand how all this crap is on the tele. so much damn drama (judge crying, yea i happened to catch that part *barf*). its all a mockery. every one wants their 15 minutes of fame. *barf*
i so can't stand Nancy Grace
its hard to decide which is worse, Nancy Grace or Anne Coulter.
Its scary when you get more news from your local news then the 24 hour stations
