Apologies.<br /><br />I write about food, especially BBQ, for HuffingtonPost.com and AmazingRibs.com. For the past four weeks I have been writing about BBQ Pitmasters, THU at 9 p.m. Eastern on TLC:<br />http://tinyurl.com/28o2v4j<br /><br />The producers will not share with me ratings numbers. Grrrrr. I have no idea how to find them, but I did find a post of yours that helps:<br />http://tinyurl.com/26mo2ac<br /><br />Do you have a similar table for THU 8/12, the first week, so I can see the trend, up or down. <br /><br />Craig "Meathead" GoldwynCraigGoldwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02530766448086180565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7978715818371029793.post-32712365804104789102010-09-02T11:45:09.282-07:002010-09-02T11:45:09.282-07:00A note to blogger.com Administrator:

Miss White, who was nominated for her first Emmy Award back in 1951 (broadcast only on KECA in Los Angeles), deserved a rousing, sustained ovation from the orchestra pit to the highest lofts, but sadly, most of todays Academy members and guests have likely never seen her best work.

Universal, DirecTV and NBC must begin plotting a strategy to ensure that the upcoming fifth season of 'Friday Night Lights' gets lots of advance Emmy promoing so the show garners a mantle-full of Emmy's next year. I still hold out hopes that, should 'FNL' see some significant ratings uptick on DirecTV, NBC or ABC Family (where encores are unspooling this September), Miss Angela Bromsted might be tempted to get out her checkbook for another 13 episodes.
