Yet even more additional woes for NBC, which has plenty to begin with; ABC pals around with terrorists

|

Hard to say which is the worse news for NBC: the fact that it has canceled "My Own Worst Enemy" and "Lipstick Jungle" for lousy ratings, or the fact that it has given full-season pickups to "Knight Rider," "Life" and "Kath & Kim" despite lousy ratings. "Crusoe" shouldn't be feeling too good about itself at this point (though, since it's a British co-production, NBC's not paying as much for its lousy ratings), and it's not like "Friday Night Lights" will punch up the network's fortunes when it returns mid-season.

(NBC has hired Diogenes to search for an honest-to-goodness hit show.)

And an informal AOL poll (is there any other kind of online poll aside from informal?) finds that if Tina Fey's not going to be reaming Sarah Palin on "Saturday Night Live," then viewers aren't going to be showing up, either: 50% said they're outtathere. A quarter said they'd still watch (pity those squalid, miserable lives) and another quarter said, "Eh, maybe."

Sad thing is, "SNL's" Palin parodies were pulling way more viewers than just about anything on NBC's primetime schedule.

Tomorrow on "Good Morning America," ABC's Chris Cuomo will interview William Ayers, the former member of the '60s radical group the Weatherman that Sarah Palin would have you believe has not changed one whit from those days and is still skulking about free in Chicago just waiting for his good pal Barack Obama to pop by so they can go lobbing bombs at "the real America." They'll discuss why he didn't try to hog a lot of camera time during the campaign like Joe the Plumber.
