   Ouch for 80 Plates! I have to imagine that show costs a lot more to produce than a lot of those other cheap Bravo reality shows…

   Kobe bringing in 7.5 million viewers. WOW. It’s approaching Network TV levels.

   Total Blackout slipped from last week, but still did well.

   The Pacers and Heat did not play on Wednesday. The other game was Celtics vs 76ers.

   Clearly MTV didn’t need Pants. That’s sarcasm. Not a show in the top 100. Ouchies.

   I think that 80 Plates does not do well because it is a show that would appeal to men on a network that appeals to women.

   By the way, 80 Plates is the only Bravo show that I have ever watched.

    Rip my brain out and call it cold turkey. No ABDC. That’s incredibly unexpected… I hope things SERIOUSLY pick up for MTV this Summer or they’ll be in huge trouble. Let’s see how Pauly D rubbish and monotonous Punk’d do tonight.

    NBA, who cares about anything else on cable after that?

    Can someone post the ratings for ABDC? I remember it wasn’t on the ‘Wednesday Cable Ratings’ two weeks ago, but the numbers were definitely top 100 of the night. I wonder why they’re not publishing them.

    Watch me spin this a la “PucktheMedia” & “SportsMediaWatch” …..

    “Hockey Conference finals experience massive ratings jump overnight”
    The NHL Playoffs experienced a giddy 62% increase in national viewership between Tuesday and Wednesday this week. This is the largest two-day percentage increase of ANY sports audience this season. See how easy that was but I’m a spinning amateur so … (wink! wink!) over to Steve Lepore and Paulsen; have at it maestros!!

    Why do I mock the NHL and its insecure, thin-skinned, bigotry ridden fandom? – WELL SOMEBODY’S GOTTA DO IT! – these guys have been spouting both obvious and veiled racial invective against the NBA for years – time to call them out and mock at their desperation and pathetic pleas for attention!!

    Hey Matty boy – you gone awfully quiet these days, feeling a little deflated son? reality can do that to you, especially after imbibing delusions of grandeur for so long. LOL!

    Thank you. I can’t speak for everyone. But I certainly enjoy it.

    Maybe no post for ABDC because MTV didn’t get the numbers in fast enough but it usually does a .5 or .6 in the demo. I’m kinda obsessed with the show

    Wow @ the ratings for the Lakers/Thunder game.

    Kobe still bringing in the ratings butter.

    Too bad the NBA didn’t have Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls to go against the Celtics they could’ve cleared 6 million viewers easily for that game.

    Torrid still posts? WHY?!

    Whoopsie….lookout! here comes the passive aggressives! – Yo Izzy that means you

    You really are a hockey fan grinding yo teeth with frustration ain’t ya! – I know you man.

    Just that you know the ridicule that’s gonna smack you in the face if you come bloviating here the usual NHL nonsense that you really want to say. LOL! I know there are many like you feeling the same way and just gnashing at these numbers and posts that mock the NHL and its little also-ran league.

    But NUMBERS DON’T LIE so sit yo azz down and take yo medicine son! be good for you in the end:)

    The typical hockey-fan passive-aggressive poster (and I’ve seen a few here since I started posting) does this:-

    Say something a little bit critical towards the NBA while conceding the reality of its dominance of the ratings but at the same time do the best to ‘hide’ hockey comparisons or point to its comparatively poor performance. It’s a tightrope for them and they often lose it and cannot quite hide the anti-NBA bile or a little exaggeration on behalf of their favorite sport.

    Am I right Izzy – you know I am – As I said I know you hockey-fanbois and your four character-types (been studying you a long time).

    - The advocate – say, do anything to get hockey respect vs the NBA
    - The bigot – follows and obsesses over hockey as a ‘white’ sport
    - The purist – simple lover of the sport by exposure or experience
    - The native – relate to hockey as culture, nurtured around it
    Hockey fans fall into one or more of these categories to different degrees – man I could write a treatise!!! – which combo is likely to make passive aggressive posts like Izzy’s?
