The Week That Was

Recap 2024


We more or less celebrated Presidents' Day first by reliving happier times with Pete Souza's Presidents' Day Pic, then heading into lots of fashion. Considering there are always so many Presidents' Day sales, we felt justified. Two standouts for us were Burberry Deconstructs the Past and the ICYMI Michael Kors Fall/Winter Fashion Show. TCC is probably not done with Fall/Winter RTW yet!

YouTube to Stop Annoying 30-Second Unskippable Ads was pleasant news. Justified or not, the 30-second ads feel like the endless movie trailers when you go to the theater. Good move. On the television front the first full week of Syndication Sweep Numbers In and "Judge Judy" is still ruling the world! We read a fascinating piece, Star Power Strategy At NBC, in Vanity Fair that helped explained a subject that been a recurring subject for us, Is Tamron Hall Being Forced Out of 'Today' Show, apparently it was part of a grand strategy. Happy Oscars' Sunday!

'Game of Thrones' Season 4 Is King

Image
Ratings At 9PM on April 6, a total of 6.6 million viewers (including us) were watching the often bloody and grisly "Game Of Thrones" season 4 premiere. This was GoT's most-watched episode  to date, and the most-watched episode of any HBO series since 2007. Season four of GoT was up 52% from season three's premiere. Another 1.6 million viewers watched the show at 11PM and 1AM. Bringing the Nielsen's ratings up to 8.2 million. HBO GO (where our members were able to get caught up) is expected to drive the numbers even higher. As we've stated before, we just wish GoT would pick up the pace just a little bit.

Looks Like Kerry Washington Couldn't Fix SNL

Image
Reviews for Kerry Washington's appearance on SNL , considering Saturday Night Live was dealing with a very public issue concerning the lack of black females on the show, seems to have focused the diversity problem (like a laser) on the writing staff as well. Could diversity among the writing staff be the issue, too?
