DJ Kitty has already made the Internet rounds, but I figured I’d put him here for posterity to spice up discussion of last night’s ratings. It was either this video or Bristol Palin dancing to “Momma Told Me Not to Come.” *shudder*
LAST NIGHT’S WINNER: “Dancing with the Stars,” duh. It got 21 million viewers — up 22% from last fall while gaining younger viewers. I suppose we have Bristol Palin’s cha-cha to thank for that. That’s a vagina joke, son.
BIG SURPRISES: While CBS’s “Hawaii Five-0″ won the 10 o’clock spot as expected (13.8 million viewers, 3.8 rating), no one predicted NBC’s “The Event” to do almost as well at 9 o’clock — 11.2 million viewers for a 3.7 rating (I didn’t watch it, but Mike Ryan of Vanity Fair says it’s not a worthy successor to “Lost”). Instead, I watched Fox’s “Lone Star,” the critically acclaimed drama that underperformed (1.3 rating) even its modest expectations. More on ratings here.
‘BOARDWALK EMPIRE’ ALREADY RENEWED: The gangster drama was the most-watched HBO premiere in six years, accruing 7.1 million viewers total with the debut and two encores. [The Live Feed]
FOR THE ‘MAD MEN’ FANS: RIP Miss Blankenship. “She was born in 1898 in a barn. She died on the 37th floor of a skyscraper. She was an astronaut.” Also, she balled like a ferret in heat. [dansai]

Bristol Palin dancing to “Momma Told Me Not to Come.”
I see Bristol is continuing to struggle with the definition of “abstinence.”
Hawaii Five-0… actually not that bad in a turn your brain off don’t question the plot too much quasi bruckheimer kinda way.

I’d also like to point out that Bruno told Audrina Patridge she “look(s) like a beautiful show pony that needs to be pushed to the limit and whipped into shape.”
I endorse this statement wholeheartedly.
Kiernan Shipka as Sally Draper was astonishingly good in that episode.
So, Matt, you and the actor who plays Abe; separated at birth?
Did you know that Ms. Blankenship was this woman?

Daniel-san’s mom in Karate Kid. Crazy, eh?
/I probably read that here.
Whoops, typo. My comment should read, “I endorse this statement whole penisedly.” My apologies.
@Chazz – Pseudo-cameronish?
Danielsans mom!@#!!>?? Sally Draper is making me uncomfortable, (as Tony Kornheiser exclaimed on PTI following the episode with her incident at the sleepover) Sally Draper go to your room!!! Who is writing this for her!?!
Fidel Castro Rabbit DJ > DJ Kitty
Keyboard Cat had more talent in one claw than DJ Kitty has in its entire body.
so I can’t check your blog until I’ve watched new episodes of mad men because of spoilers, now? Dammit, I was just checking up on you before I watched it. Thanks for that. At least put it behind a cut, man.
I’m pretty sure the writer’s thinking is Sally Draper is destined for filthiness — be it strip club, prostitution or just general whoring around — because of her daddy issues.
@ Evil Taco
Why don’t you just email Matt when you get around to watching it, and then we’ll discuss it when it’ good and untimely? Or, alternatively, you could not bitch about spoilers when you’re frequenting a TELEVISION BLOG over 40 hours after the show aired.
Either way.
We’re counting encores in a premiere’s ratings now?
Sorry I have a job, dg. I’ll get right on that not working thing, so I can catch every episode right as it airs. Can I stay in your mom’s basement?
I don’t think a spoiler warning about a show that happened 2 days ago is that much to ask. I wasn’t trying to be a dick about it.

First of all, if there’s a show you like and you haven’t watched the newest episode, straight up DON’T READ TV BLOGS UNTIL YOU’VE WATCHED THE EPISODE.
Second, it’s an old fucking secretary. It’s not like she’s a major character, and the episode will still be enjoyable even though she’s dead.
SACK THE FUCK UP.
All DJ Kitty needs is some bling (maybe diamond encrusted kitty litter?) and some fine, fine bitches. Honestly, how is easy is it to make pussy jokes now?
What?? Kristin shot J.R.??! Would it kill you to put a spoiler alert up??
ksk did a commenter draft a while back on words/phrases we’d most like to wipe from the english language. I took Epic Fail with my first pick- but I wish i had taken spoiler alert.
If someone goes out of their way to ruin something for you, like “Hey did you see the crying game? No? well the chick is a dude,” then that’s something to complain about.
Missing a tv show then going on any type of entertainment blog or website and bitching that they ruined some plot element is like recording a football game and then reading the next day’s sports section and whining that they wrote about the score.
Miss Blankenship on the Clay/Liston fight:
“I don’t see what the big deal is. If I wanted to see two negros fight, I’d throw a dollar out my window.”
Rest in Peace, old girl. Your hilarious racist comments will live on!
Gotta love any episode where the opening scene is a blonde getting the bejeezeus banged out of her.
I’d give my left nut to see that Swedish masseuse rub her hands all over Joan’s creamy white naked body. Then make out. Then oil me up and invite me to join them. Then we all eat cherry cheesecake and drink martinis.
This is the second time I didn’t get the gist of the spoiler in the actual post, but was alerted to what actually happened by the commenters complaining about it.
First Rita, now Ms. Blankenship.
