VIDEO: See Metrodome Roof Collapse from Inside Stadium
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Sports, FOX, Video,
Want to know why you didn't get to see the Minnesota Vikings play the New York Giants today? Here's the reason.
The Minneapolis area was hit with over 17 inches of snow, and the city's stadium -- which opened in 1982 -- felt the impact.
When leaks started forming on Saturday (apparently not an unusual event for the structure), the FOX Sports crew decided to leave their cameras rolling. Based on the great footage, their efforts definitely paid off.
The game will now be played Monday night at 7 p.m. ET in Detroit's Ford Field.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sports, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, Amazing Race, The, Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, Ratings,
ABC had Vanessa Williams, FOX had an hour-long Family Guy and CBS had a must-see watermelon mishap – but those three networks were missing one important thing: football. The gridiron action in Miami was hot enough to win both the demos and viewers for NBC.

- The Simpsons kicked off the evening with 7.8 million.
- The Cleveland Show (6.6 million, 3.1/8) slipped slightly from its lead-in.

TV Talk: High Interest in Law & Order: LA, Low Numbers for HBO
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Sports, Cable, CBS, FOX, HBO, NBC, DVR, Ratings,
-Which new shows are you looking forward to checking out? According to a TiVo poll, Law & Order: Los Angeles and Hawaii Five-0 are the most-anticipated programs of the upcoming season.
-When is an Oscar nominee not considered “famous enough”? When her name is Carey Mulligan. The Wall Street 2 star says she would love to be in Glee, but she’s apparently not recognizable enough for a cameo.
-Has HBO lost some of its appeal? Despite shows like True Blood, Entourage and Hung, the cable channel’s second quarter audience numbers were the lowest in four years. New series Boardwalk Empire begins this Sunday.
-Sunday Night Football, though, is doing just fine for NBC. This weekend’s game between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins scored the best overnight ratings for any opener—on a Sunday or Monday—in 13 years.
Sunday Ratings: Super Bowl, Undercover Boss Break TV Records
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Specials, Sports, CBS, Ratings,
The score may have been close for most of Super Bowl XLIV, but the game’s ratings were the best thing on TV…by far.
Last night’s battle between the Indianapolis Colts at the New Orleans Saints had 106.48 million Bud Light-swilling, Doritos-chomping sports fans glued to their TV sets. That number represents the largest viewing audience for any event in U.S. television history.
The previous record was established by the series finale of M*A*S*H. That 1983 event totaled a whopping 105.97 viewers.

MONDAY (2/1)
- CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm): “A convicted killer (Anthony Michael Hall) on death row receives a 24-hour stay of execution after doubt is cast on his guilt.” New evidence suggests he may have been given that girl’s underpants.

- Damages (FX, 10pm): “Patty and Phil, locked in their bitter divorce battle, find one piece of common ground: their dog.” Phil - if you love the dog, just give it to her. Trust me.
