Olympics giveth, Blanche and Sophia taketh away
The Beijing Olympics continue to be golden for NBC. While the numbers are off from some of their Michael Phelps-induced highs, 25.4 million on a Monday night is still pretty dang good. And NBC continues to kick the crap out of the opposition, sorta like the USA basketball team. It's going so well for the peacock, in fact, that the experts are predicting heavy bidding wars for the next games, when the bidding opens in a few months. But the one thing that even the Olympics can't do is bring back the heyday of the big three networks, when "The Golden Girls" set a weekend ratings record that not even Phelps can break.
