LAW Rerun/Tens Commandments beat Sarandon!

SARANDON MOVIE ON CBS FINISHES LAST PLACE IN OVERNIGHTS
Outspoken Hollywood Halfwit anti-war activist Susan Sarandon hit severe ratings turbulence on CBS Sunday night with her original telefilm ICE BOUND — landing last in overnight ratings and losing nearly 40% of audience levels from the previous Sunday on CBS. ICE pulled a frosty 5.5 rating/9 share in NIELSEN's 55 overnight markets. But it was in New York City where Sarandon hit complete bottom. At 9 PM in Gotham, Sarandon trailed even the WB network's BLACK SASH [3.5/5], with a 3.4 rating/5 share — the lowest seen for CBS on Sunday night in recent memory. It is not clear if it was ICE's subject matter — a woman suffering from breast cancer in the South Pole — or if it was viewership rejection of Sarandon that resulted in the startling ratings crash. Or maybe her 'life-partners' rantings?
Susie's got enough rantings of her own to make people dislike her. She takes a back seat to no man, least of all her consort.
CBS finished first in its 7 PM slot with 60 MINS [7.5/14]. A rerun of NBC's LAW AND ORDER [10.2/16] took top honors at 9 PM; ABC's holiday airing of TEN COMMANDMENTS [8.9/14] won 10 PM.
"Sure, [ICE BOUND] was a disappointment in the ratings," a CBS source said Monday from New York. "But Susan's acting was mediocre terrific and we are very proud to have aired the movie." Total audience levels, despite the holiday, were nearly identical to the previous week, research shows.
Note: I wonder how a remake of Bull Dhuram would do now? Maybe the Dixie Cicks can do the theme song?

#1 "But Susan's acting was mediocre terrific and we are very proud to have aired the movie."
Sure but the advertisers and local networks were less then thrilled, that is, if they already paid. If they didn't, it's the network execs who won't be hiring Sarandon any time soon.
Bet you Sarandon blames conservative radio for suppressing her constitutional right of free speech and riling the people against her.

#4 the neo-liberial communist would love for everyone to believe that their freedom of speech is bieng suppressed. Just the opposite the american people are awakened, before 9-11 people would not of thought twice about boycotting a movie star, just would not have had the support. But things a changing and the low ratings for the hollywood traitor trash bunch is the result of the amercian people exercising right a self expression and self determination . These actors need to remember a saying from WWII - Lose Lips Sinks Ships - We are at war and this statements rings as true today as it did 50 years! Lets just hope the commy traitors in hollywood get the message. The amercian people have gotten the message!

Bet you she does it from about seven or eight different nationally broadcast forums (entertainment and otherwise) and completely misses the irony each and every time.
