-I only really got to watch ONCE UPON A TIME and CELEBRITY APPRENTICE last night…I didn’t get to see ICE LOVES COCO or LADY GAGA and her Mom on OPRAH…I know many of you were watching the season finale of THE WALKING DEAD or NCAA, so not sure how many people will be bummed about what I did or didn’t watch.  However, if you did watch ONCE UPON A TIME…then are you getting a little annoyed (just a little) that Mary Margaret and David (aka Snow White and Prince Charming) can’t seem to ever be truly in sync?  In the real story (or should I say, what we all think is the real story), Snow and the Prince lived happily ever after before we went to sleep…but in Storybrooke, it appears that they will never get together…at least if the mean Mayor, Regina, has anything to do with it.  Snow is completely screwed at this point…they found Katherine’s heart in her jewelry box, the knife in the heating duct in her room and she WAS in love with the deceased’s husband…so unless Emma can figure this out…Snow is stuck in the tiniest jail cell ever. 

-On CELEBRITY APPRENTICE, I gotta say it…and no offense to the O’Cedar company or anything, but really???  Having even these “B” or maybe “C” celebrities come up with a viral video for a mop is really a stretch…If I were Dee Snider, I would have thrown my broken hand in the hair and walked out on this one…but to all of the “celebrities” credit…they embraced the challenge and did the best they could do. I don’t know if anyone can set out to make a “viral” video…I think you can try and hope for the best, but let’s face it…you can’t guarantee that something will go viral…it’s organic…it just happens.  Anyway…I have to say that I thought Lou Ferrigno would lose this one big time, but he did a decent job.  So Tia and the women, whose idea had nothing to do with mopping up dirt lost the challenge and what…now everyone takes the blame for their team?  So SPOILER ALERT…Tia is gone…I am not understanding why everyone is all of a sudden ganging up on Penn Gillette…he is really good and honest and the guys just turned on him in a way last night, but not as bad as poor Theresa Giudice…none of the women want her around.  I sorta do get that, but I feel a little bad for her.

-That other fairytale show over on NBC, has been holding its own, even though I haven’t found anyone I know that watches it (myself included)…but NBC seems to have some faith in it and let’s face it, the Friday night bar doesn’t seem to need to be raised that high, which is actually good news for the GRIMM peeps…the show has been renewed for another season.

-What hasn’t been renewed, is THE ROSIE SHOW on OWN…not only isn’t it renewed, but if you haven’t heard…it’s been cancelled after 5 months and 3 format changes.  I have to admit, we watched it for a little while and it was cute…she couldn’t seem to get any great guests though, and the 7pm time slot just didn’t fit.  Rosie was great when she was on in daytime, but 7pm is tough to pull off especially when you really don’t have anyone good on the show.  I don’t feel bad for Rosie at all…I know she got paid pretty well by Oprah, and it was not a deal that was tied to ratings…so she can go back to Nyack and her craft room and start painting again.

-While numbers are continuing to grow, viewers are predominantly still watched TV the traditional way in 3Q as per e-marketer and this cool pie chart.  

 Share of Time per Month US Consumers Spent Using Select TV or Video Media, Q3 2011 (% of total)

-I wasn’t sure if The Dollar Shave Club was real…but it is…have you guys seen the video? Signed Up?  Whether you have or you haven’t…it’s a really funny ad.

- I am really psyched that 21 JUMP STREET was number one in the theatres this week. I didn’t get to see it yet, but have every intention to.  The show was a favorite of mine, and I love Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum.  Some WWTM readers saw it over the weekend and said it was hilarious.  So did a lot of other people since it made 34MM bucks this weekend.  I think we should pay tribute with a trivia question:

-Monday’s Trivia Question: What was Johnny Depp’s name on 21 Jump Street?

-Back by popular, throughout the NCAA tournament…more difficult NCAA trivia questions:
Monday’s difficult March Madness Trivia Question: What school appeared in 3 straight final fours in the 1980’s?
