This time, because there was something else a little more important in the headlines for these newsgathering operations to deal with, they virtually didn't cover this at all, ... Consequently, I would say on the order of several million people who probably would like to have watched 'Survivor' might not even have known it was on. |

This time, you mention the word 'Survivor' and you can almost hear the crickets chirping in the background and the sagebrush blowing across the town, |

This turned out to be a story that didn't even have enough traction to compete with the runaway bride, which blew Michael Jackson off the screen for a week and a half. |
This was a sacred day — a very delicate kind of thing. There was that little period where there was a no-fly zone on this subject matter, with a few exceptions. Probably now, enough time has passed and we're getting new perspective on this. |
Those days are over. Forget leaving your radio off in the car or not watching CNN. Whatever your Internet service is, it's likely to announce all the results. |
To have a public intellectual host the Oscars, that doesn't happen too much. My biggest worry would be that he'd upstage the entire night. |

VOD is perfect for established hits, and for reruns of shows that didn't have enough viewers to keep them on the air. 'Freaks and Geeks' had a lot of people watching, but not enough to keep it on the air. With VOD, you don't have to worry about getting a 15 share. If a show already had its network run and the production expenses are paid, anything after that is gravy. |

We are ready to show everyone what we can do. We have been working so hard for our chance at the title, and we are ready for the challenge. |
We could swallow it among these teenagers in the midst of all their angst. We're not used to seeing that with [adult] male characters. It's kind of jarring because it almost makes you squirm. |
