Good TVeets

vaupel : I feel confident in saying #Dexter looked great with his shirt off this week. I should know because I have two degrees in media studies.

ApocalypseHow : Bristol Palin, on Dancing w/the Stars, wearing gorilla suit and jiving. See, now THAT's an effective abstinence technique.

fymaxwell : ABC announces plans to scrap 3 Episodes of V; NBC asks if it can have them.

Memles : At this rate, NBC is going to pick up shows they already canceled just to appear stable. Journeyman fans, NOW IS YOUR TIME.

noelrk : If #Chuck can get picked up with a 1.9 on a broadcast, surely #Rubicon can get picked up with a .3 on cable?

ditzkoff : June Cleaver, RIP. Howard Cunningham, RIP. Carol Brady, eliminated from Dancing With the Stars. #theycomeinthrees

jmonjo : Catching up on #Caprica. Forming theory that the Bearded Daniel Graystone storyline is elaborate commentary on Conan O'Brien's NBC departure. In my sure to be revolutionary new analysis of Caprica, the Giant Robot Daughter is symbolic of the struggles of the Masturbating Bear.

HitFixDaniel : All my Tweeps are encouraging me vote for different possible TV Guide covers. What's a magazine cover?

TVKel : I'm going to say it again. TV Guide cover contest thing is a scam. They will release all 6 after overwhelming response and make mo money.

standupkid : Would Parker/Spitzer be stronger if the hosts drank wine?

KateAurthur : Entertainment Stories I Don't Care About, Vol. 2: Any carriage fight between a network + cable company. Also: Still do not care about MGM.
JBFlint : @KateAurthur Kind of the way I feel about 8 million different stories about Don Draper marrying his secretary.

weinmanj : Read @bastardmachine on broadcast troubles http://tinyurl.com/2vjlhr4 Interesting but IMO too much asking for networks to be dull as cable. Not that broadcast model isn't changing, but the success stories - CBS, Idol in the '00s - are the ones that are closer to the old model. And given that much of cable's real hits (as opposed to Mad Men) involve lower-budget versions of what's already on b-cast networks...  I'm over-simplifying too but it seems like networks expected the public's tastes in entertainment to change much more than they have. The common link between all the big hits is that they're old-fashioned in some ways (Glee's a musical, Modern Family a creaky family comedy)  Seems likelier the future of the networks is giving up on demos, finding older-skewing advertisers & just getting all the viewers they can.

stamos : In theory I love How I Met Your Mother but in reality I want to punch Ted Mosby in the face.

fymaxwell : If we call HGTV shows real estate porn, can we call Bravo shows asshole porn?
