The ratings for it were apparently pretty weak, so I guess I'm not the only feeling this way. Ditto for Leno, which crashed once there was actual TV up against it.
• Began Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones, in advance of Peter Jackson's adaptation. The first chapter deals with the rape and murder of a young girl, told from her perspective. Pleasant start.
• Random Music Video:
• It's time look around the world and see what's going on and we're going to get some help from special guest stars Flava Flav, Play, DOOM, and some other folks. They're here to tell you about Honduras, where the police used tear gas on protestors supporting the country's ousted leader. What reaction did the protestors have? Well, check it out:
