Too funny. In the end, this will be great for Scrubs—caught in a bidding war.

NBC shuts down 'Las Vegas' →
This has been declared a “casualty of the writer’s strike.” Too bad, because though I didn’t watch it, I’ve heard it’s gotten better in its run.
Oh well, I’m sure it’s only the first of the casualties to pop up…

Every month, more than 90% of children in the United States eat at McDonald’s. (via Good Magazine) The other 10% go to Wendy’s. Seriously though, that statistic is unbelievable. I didn’t know there was anything that 90% of America did each month other than breathe air, watch American Idol and think about sex.
WatchDavid Hasselhoff on the new Knight Rider, which did very well, by the way, to the tune of 12.71M viewers. Bet we’ll be seeing it as a series in the fall.

The 11 series are COLD CASE, CRIMINAL MINDS, CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION, CSI: MIAMI, CSI: NY, GHOST WHISPERER, NCIS, NUMB3RS, freshman comedy THE BIG BANG THEORY, TWO AND A HALF MEN and WITHOUT A TRACE.
