hey folks-
I'm curious: didn't ABC decide to keep 'Making the Band' on all summer even though it had piss-poor ratings? I heard that they didn't have much else to replace it, so they kept it on. So, why did they pull the plug on the 'Clerks' cartoon even though it had similar ratings to 'MTB'? Maybe ABC was thinking that 'MTB's demographic (probably 13-13 1/2 year-olds) was more likely to watch, so why did they put it on Friday nights (a night when most people don't watch TV). What's even worse is there is a SECOND season of 'Making the Band' starting soon.
Ah, I guess ABC will never stop kicking itself for passing up 'The Cosby Show'. That's all folks.
