Due to stupidity on the part of network TV executives (or local TV executives, but I'll just hate them all) I did not get to see America's Next Top Model last night. Was it preempted because of the State of the Union address? Surprisingly, no. It was preempted for ACC basketball.
Basketball!
Hi execs, let's explain a few things to you. You're contracually obligated to air a certain number of ACC games for chosen teams during the season. But you also have floating options. When you discover that, early in the basketball season, the President of the United States is scheduling his State of the Union address on the same night as one of these games, it would behoove you to think logically of the ratings bonanza that could result. You're one of the six network stations. Four are carrying the address. The other one is airing a pansy ass basketball drama centered in NC. Hey! Novel idea! Why not air something *completely* different, like this show about models that's vastly entertaining, started last week, and is actually scheduled to come on at this time!
Luckily for me, it will be airing tonight after Enterprise. So everybody keep your yaps shut (I say this with love *smooches*) and don't tell me what happened.
