They Shoot Horses Don't They?

Piers Morgan's virgin foray into LIVE! TV was D.O.A. Friday. Morgan went from "Keeping Up with The Kardashians" (498K 164,000 25-54) Thursday to "Keeping Up with Breaking News" (658K 178,000 25-54) with embarrassing ratings results. TVbytheNumbers breaks down Morgan's dive (right).

Morgan's vaunted debut week finished behind Larry King's numbers for the same week last year.  TVbytheNumbers

So to console Piers, Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen "Lost In The Ozone Again" 1971:



NPR interview with Commander Cody.  There IS hope for Piers.  One of the Airmen became a rocket scientist.  John Tichy Ph.D. Oh yeah. I forgot. Cable TV news is NOT rocket science . . .
