In the golden ratings department, Michael Jackson's four-hour death extravaganza carried on 19 TV networks Tuesday hauled in 30.9 mil voyeurs. 20.5 rating/56 share.
Or put it this way, Jackson's the filling between Ronald Reagan's 2004 burial (35 mil/23 rating) and Princess Diana's 1997 funeral (33.2 miil/26 rating).

I did not watch a nano second of the coverage. Did the 19 networks go wall to wall or did they break for commercials? It could have been the least productive day in the history of Television.
I'm just glad that Iran/North Korea/health care/recession all disappeared.
Jimbo all that doesn't matter in today's what's happenin' now world
