Or, don't call it a draw. The Golden Girls clearly beat the Golden Boy. Always.

Golden Girls Outdistance Michael Phelps

Mark Spitz has been vanquished. But not so Dorothy, Rose, Blanche and Sophia.

Michael Phelps’ Spitz-sinking swim on Saturday elevated NBC to its best ratings on the once-mighty, now-dead night in about a generation.

Still, the golden boy of the Beijing Games couldn’t topple The Golden Girls, which held on to its title as NBC’s most-watched Saturday-night show of the last 18 years.

Overall, NBC’s first full week of Olympic action was ratings gold, with the network scoring the most lopsided Nielsen wins in more than 20 years.

Through last night, NBC said, the Beijing Games were averaging 29.6 million prime-time viewers, up 13 percent over the 2004 Athens Games.

Add in the viewers watching table tennis, kayaking, etc., on MSNBC, USA and other NBC sister networks, and 200 million people overall tuned in the Summer Games’ first 11 days, NBC said.

Network sports chief Dick Ebersol credited the surge in interest to “the mystery of China,” and the success of U.S. atheletes, led by Phelps.

A Phelps race, women’s gymnastics and beach volleyball combined to average 34 million viewers for last Tuesday’s Olympic card, which finished No. 1 in the latest Nielsen Media Research rankings.

In the silver-medal position was Saturday’s Olympic coverage, which averaged 31.6 million prime-time viewers, and featured Phelps’ final swim of the games.

The climactic race earned Phelps his eighth gold medal of this Olympics, surpassing Spitz’s 36-year-old record, and earned NBC its biggest number on the night since a Feb. 24, 1990 episode of The Golden Girls (“Twice in a Lifetime”) averaged 32 million viewers.

While Phelps came up shy of toppling Dorothy, et al, he did surpass the Feb. 24, 1990 episode of Empty Nest, a Golden Girls spinoff, which “only” averaged 31.4 million viewers.

Apparently before uncovering the Golden Girls rating, NBC, in fact, awarded Phelps its Nielsen gold medal in a press release that trumpeted the swimmer’s victory over Empty Nest.

In the end, not even The Golden Girls could match the 40 million that NBC averaged for the 11 p.m. half-hour that featured the decisive Phelps race.

Maybe the Phelps-Golden Girls bout should just be declared a draw.

I’ve been racing into the office every morning with Olympic gymnastics updates for my TV-less co-worker. After about three days, she finally said, “You seem kind of obsessed, you probably love that movie ‘Stick It.’”

Um, what? No, I’ve never seen it…

…but I put it on my netflix queue immediately. (Although it doesn’t look like I’ll be watching it anytime soon…

We kept ~~that letter~~ this letter posted at the bar I work for a long time… Shared it with customers, referenced it frequently. Really, a timeless piece.

I know I’m slow on the fucking uptake on this one, but this episode of Intervention just FUCKING BLEW MY GOD DAMN MIND. Holy shit. It’s my favorite show, but I never even imagined there would be one like this.

Her name is Allison, and in addition to anorexia and self-mutilation, she suffers from a huffing addiction of gargantuan proportions, sucking on dust remover like it’s a baby bottle (she puts away 8 to 10 of them a day). This is Part 1, the rest are on Youtube.

Watch it. Now.

That was the most disturbing episode of Intervention that I’ve ever seen. I read on Jezebel that her cats are in foster care, and that she is no longer involved with the sugar daddy.

But yeah, that was crazy. Every time she took a hit of that crap I had to look away. It was just so disturbing.

I think this was probably in my top two episodes. I also had to look away at parts. So very sad.

I am so glad to see other people blogging this. Claire and I watched it the other night and we were SERIOUSLY DISTURBED. It was the first Intervention I had seen in a year due to my lack of cable and at first I thought I had just forgotten how difficult that show is to watch. Nope, pretty much just Allison. It gave us headaches just watching it!

I am glad to see that her cats are still in foster care - BUST THE CATS! Poor kitties! When Mom is huffing, no one is eating :(

It seems Favre longed to be seen as the first player/general manager. For years, he has been lecturing Green Bay leadership in public about decisions regarding Randy Moss, Marco Rivera and others. When Favre appeared to hang up his cleats in March, Green Bay management made the decision to anoint Aaron Rodgers and add another prominent quarterback in the draft. By demanding to come back, Favre was essentially saying to the world, "Another wrong management decision, what they should have done was spent the spring begging me to return."

One of the best articles I’ve read about this Farve shit. And being from WI I’ve read a lot. And although the Pack lost last night, it certainly wasn’t because of Rodgers… so stop hatin’ on him Wisconsin (Pagel - I mean you!)
