1. Thanks!

We've got over 40 minutes to go here before it's televised. I'm glad for the sneak preview.

GOt it on TIVO in case I can't stay awake.

5. I love the theme from "Rollerball" behind these.

It reminds me of the original movie, of course. Of those football-like athletes literally killing each other on the playing field for the amusement of television audiences. Just what O'Reilly and Limbaugh would do, or rather, like they would pay other people to do.

8. Toccata and Fugue in D minor, JS Bach nt

2. Thanks. (Even if it was disgusting.)

I didn't know he was on Sundays. Or was that his NBC broadcast?

3. This was indeed tonight's Sunday Special "Countdown" on NBC.

At this point, it's a one-time-only, but NBC hasn't ruled out other Olbermann network appearances.

4. Good. I guess I'll catch it when it comes out on the net. Thanks.

6. "Comedian" Rush Limbaugh

I love k-o. If only we had more people like him on the air....

7. Haha. "And also, YOUR NUTS!"

Your username is award winning. Bravo!

I want a new username. Presidentcheerleader.

13. And here I thought he was an acrobat.

10. Olbermann's NBC Ratings Last Night

Monday, Aug 27
Olbermann's NBC Ratings
We've received the Nielsen fast-national ratings (not the actual national ratings) and have a sense of how last night's Countdown with Keith Olbermann did in its premiere on NBC. The upshot: in total viewers it beat "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?" on Fox. But finished behind "60 Minutes" and "America's Funniest Videos." 4,146,000 total viewers watched.

Countdown finished fourth in the 18-49 and 25-54 demos.

In a post last night , I asked how Olbermann's NBC show played in the plains. Aaron Barnhart of that plain-worthy state, Missouri wrote about it in his blog TVBarn.com.

>More: An emailer writes, 4 Millon viewers...is one hell of a sampling...I wouldn't kiss that number off." For context: Olbermann averaged 721,000 viewers each night in July. Almost 6 times as many watched last night.

11. KO funny AND heroic.

One of a very few "news" people that deserves a paycheque. Or to have any media outlet, for that matter.

This whole WPITW thing is one of the best bits in years.
