The last day of November Sweeps -- and the major networks offered up specials and sports!

Tomorrow is Dec 1, counted by many as part of November sweeps, but the fact remains, November is over, and the gimicks will subside for a while, until the next sweeps period, and we are back to the entertainment we're used to. And this may be one of the best seasons of Television we've had in years.

The Other Half

CO-HOSTS CLEAN HOUSE ON THE EPISODE AIRING FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29TH

BURBANK, Calif. -- November 27, 2002 -— This week the co-hosts of THE OTHER HALF will put an end to the household strike they launched in early November. Thousands of women nationwide joined the strike against their usual household chores in a quest for greater appreciation from their husbands and families. One woman’s strike experience was so touching that it prompted THE OTHER HALF co-hosts to team up on a full-day housecleaning mission in her home. The episode featuring the strike finale airs Friday, November 29 (syndicated, check local listings for station and time).

“We received thousands of e-mails from women who wanted to share their strike stories,” said co-host Danny Bonaduce. “We were so impressed by Beverly’s e-mail, that we decided to go to her house and clean it for her.”

Bonaduce, along with co-hosts Mario Lopez and Dorian Gregory, jetted to Pate’s San Francisco Bay Area home on a day off to scrub toilets, wash dishes, fold laundry and vacuum for several hours. The trip was the culmination of the co-hosts on-air promise to lend a helping hand to some of the women joining the strike.

The strike, which began on November 4th, was inspired by Kathy Thomspon, a 45-year-old Indiana housewife who went on strike in her own home. Fed up with her husband’s lack of help and understanding, she posted “wife on strike” signs in her yard and refused to perform her usual domestic duties. It wasn’t long before her husband changed his tune. Upon hearing of this story, the co-hosts of THE OTHER HALF launched a strike of their own that encouraged their overworked and under-appreciated viewers in a stoppage of household chores.

NBC leads me to ask -- if things look so good in November sweeps, why make this announcement?

After claiming another sweeps victory in November, NBC Entertainment President Jeff Zucker today announced plans for new and returning mid-season series that include a January 10 premiere for the drama “Mister Sterling” (Fridays, 8-9 p.m. ET), a February start for the new comedy “A.U.S.A.” and March debuts for the drama “Kingpin” and returning comedy “Watching Ellie." more



 

Presidio Med was a topic of conversation when Les Moonves, president of CBS, addressed reporters today. When asked about the show he acknowledged that they believe in the show -- both the creative forced behind Presidio Med, and the actors who come to life as the Doctors of Presidio Med each week. However, they are in a tough time slot and as such come January they may need to take a turn in another slot and see what kind of second opinion they get from viewers there.

Tonight is the night to tune into CBS and see this wonderful piece that treats two very real men as two very real characters. In the words of Jerry Lewis "Jeremy Northam brought my old partner back to life. All his mannerisms, Everything... he was back." Now if that isn't high praise I don't know what is.
