YSU President event

I attended the ceremony for Dr. Cynthia Anderson. The event was very grand. I had a good time hearing differant people speak about what leadership entails. Dr. Anderson's speech was very direct- she wants people to think about more than themselves, as this will better the community / university. If you missed out, that was a mistake, as there were plent of influential people available to network with afterwards at the reception. Excellent time!

Mike & Molly- Not terrible!

Hello again. Mike & Molly is a new show on CBS. It is unique in the sense that it features two obese main characters. The show is on CBS, Monday's at 9:30pm. The two leads are played by relatively unknown actors. There is not one recognizable name on the show. I watched it, and was surprised that it didn't suck! There were some funny moments, actually. The show reminds me of "The King of Queens" meets "Biggest Loser." It is not a bad show, but it likely will not get picked up, like the majority of new series'.
There were plenty of self-depricating "fat jokes," and if people actually tune in, they may enjoy Mike & Molly.

Conan's New Show

Conan O'Brien is returning to TV in November on TBS. Despite being on cable, I think the show is going to do great in the ratings. There were plenty of fans that wanted Conan to remain as Tonght Show host, and I am sure these people will tune in. TBS currently is featuring the George Lopez show, but Conan is a notch above him, clearly, as far as appeal. Most Americans have cable these days, so I dont think this will hinder the show.
The target audience is likely 18-40 year olds. This is  the demographic that feels Jay Leno's talk show appeals to those mainly that remember TV before technicolor. Once "Conan" gets its' feet under it, I am sure it will be a lasting success.
