Why are so many network execs so stupid?!?! A recent visit to the HBO website reveals a teeny tiny blurb that the Sopranos comes back April 8th. And, you have to search to find out that Entourage comes back the same night. Now, I know they are more focused on promoting "Rome" at the moment, but, seriously, let's face it...there's MANY of us out there that ain't dusting off our HBO subscriptions till the Sopranos comes back. Plus, they should really be hyping the hell out of the upcoming Jerry Seinfeld Comedy Special...even if it is hosted inexplicably by not so wild-n-crazy Anderson Cooper.
Now we move onto ABC's website. Last week was supposed to be a repeat of Grey's, then at the last minute, it became a new episode. Now, it simply says "the next episode has not yet been scheduled". Um, seriously?
I dare you to name one show on Oxygen besides Tori and Dean: Inn Love. Did you actually even KNOW what network this was on? Again, a tiny blurb about their only recognizable enterprise...ok, the Janice Dickinson train wreck notwithstanding. Maybe Oxygen isn't hyping Tori's show enough because it is so god awful. Sorry, Tori, I wanted to like it. I'll give you one more try this week but it ain't looking good.
Oh, and back to ABC (holy ADD)...you're not exactly doing much on your site (or anywhere) to alert people Six Degrees is back, and on a new night, no less. Bridget Moynahan's scandalous pregnancy from Patriots hottie Tom Brady is the best happy accident (excuse the pun) publicity you could hope for....now exploit it!!!!

I'm with you. The networks suck. NBC did false promotion of the office a one-hour special with "never before seen" footage. NOT!
BTW the Six Degrees thing is a joke. I was shocked to see it back. I had been watching 'til they pulled it. Putting it on a Friday proves it probably won't stay.
I've been DVRing Melrose Place on Soap Opera network for those moments when there's nothing to watch. Which is too often lately.
Not on topic, but I would like to mention the all-to-literal medical procedures the writers are using on Grey's. Seriously.Flat-lining patient , with close ups on Izzie, George and Callie? Christina with an amputee patient? I don't like to be spoon fed. Oh well.
