haiku

Last May's multi-day Nielsen ratings delay motivated a haiku contest. Not sure if this delay will last that long (no more information till Wednesday AM at the earliest), but composing haiku can be quite calming.

Three Rivers still on,
despite terrible ratings,
It's the accountants.

Go for it.

  1. “Castle’s doing well?
    How can we justify that?”
    “Let’s turn out the lights.”

    Smallville is awesome.

    Great Friday night performer.

    It’s very lucky.

    Survivor beats all
    every Thursday without fail
    but gets no respect

  5. The Visitors have come to ABC
    The question remains
    Will it be a “quiet success

  6. Tom

    Fox Tuesdays still vague,
    Was this Lie to Me’s swan song?
    No answer today.

    Is Sci-Fi dying?
    Fringe, Heroes, V, Flashforward
    Last show, turn off lights.

  7. Vetinari

    The Big Bang Theory
    Did many watch when Sheldon
    Got to second base?

  8. Backup power failed
    To come on in time to keep
    Me busy today

    You Lie to Me,
    not Forgotten.

  14. Eduardo Peixoto

    Can’t let go
    from the nurses
    that show no Mercy

    OK, it was somewhat certain that I’d moon about Mercy.

  15. Me

    Castle is the best!
    Nielson doesn’t speak for me!

    A flower drum song
    For Miyoshi Umeki
    And Nick Yemana.

    Does House lie to me?
    He likes the show called “Courtship”
    Better than Castle.

    Mr. Roubidoux
    Loved Umeki very much
    And more than Carter

    Two and a half men
    With Jake now a fuller man
    How to cut by half?

    Jay Leno’s trauma
    May God have mercy upon
    Zucker the *er

    I love Croatians
    ER and Castle have them
    Katic and Visnjic

    Someone, please help me!
    Give some mother-in-law plant
    Sap to Bergeron

    I certainly bet
    That any Bill Bixby show
    Beats CW

    Land of misfit toys
    Sponsored this year by iPhone?
    There’s a map for that!

  20. Dingo

    Haiku is pleasing
    To read, For power outage
    I want to blame Chuck
