"Rankings for the top 15 programs on cable television networks as compiled by Nielsen Media Research for the week of Sept. 7-13. Days and start times (EDT) are in parentheses:

...O'Reilly Factor at #8...the only news show to crack the top 15...two WWE shows in the top ten....they must be making some nice coin...their stock pays a 6.7% dividend....BTW, is that Vince McMahon's outfit?

[K-oneTexas]

WWE (Vince McMahon’s outfit) continually draws high ratings. For years and years and years and years ....

Longer than Gunsmoke and M*A*S*H and even the Today Show. It been around for ages.

[P.O.E.]

TCM had “Sonny Boy” on their Friday night “Underground” series. Featuring David Carradine in drag in perhaps his best acting job besides Kill Bill II. It was weird, funny, and loaded with symbolism. Rare to see on TV these days.

Fake wrestling ahead of Sponge Bob? How can that be?

[Radl]

I guess more people are interested in watching the Buckeyes lose another big game than they are about hearing the news from Oreilly.

WWE #7 and #9...very sad commentary on America...very sad. Neanderthals in ascension.

[Drango]

I wish Burn Notice would start up again. I’m having withdrawal.

[SevenofNine]

You going have wait coming up I think December or January of 2010

“WWE #7 and #9...very sad commentary on America...very sad. Neanderthals in ascension.”

...there was a time I would have agreed with you....but I saw “The Wrestler” and came away with a different outlook...what those guys go thru is a tough grind.....and that was accurately dipicted in the movie according to industry insiders....Mickey Rourke was terrific in the role of Randy the Ram btw.

[PittsburghAfterDark]

7 and 9? The WWE is slipping. They were consistently top 5.

[MotorCityBuck]

OH- !!
IO !! :)

[Sudetenland]

Just because many in the industry endure hardship does not make professional wrestling any less of a low brow entertainment which panders to the very worst in human nature...Roman gladiators endured nightmarish hardship, but it still embodied the very worst in humans.

Same here!

Oh ok, tell that to all the wounded soldiers they visit in Walter Reed and other VA hospitals. Tell that to the Make-A-Wish foundation kids whose wish is to meet john Cena. Tell that to all the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan when WWE goes over there to the “Tribute to the Troops” shows every year.
Dis wrestlers all you want, but I can guarantee they have done more for our troops and for sick children than most of us could ever even think of doing.

[Sudetenland]

You can't buy your way into Heaven. If your job is to pander to man's basest instincts of violence and amorality, don't expect praise for the little good you do in your off time.

As far as I am concerned, there is nothing noble or uplifting about professional wrestling, especially in the form it now manifests itself.

[CaptRon]

I can’t figure out these cable “seasons”. They announce a new season, show 6 episodes, then announce another “new season” to start 6 months later.

[SevenofNine]

Oh yeah USA networks does that to had their season spilt in half once for summer then once for wintertime

[chae]

And I repeat that they’ve done alot more for alot more people than you ever have, but go on and continue to sit in judgement. It’s not like there’s a Bible verse about judging others...oh, wait a minute...

[Sudetenland]

Oh! So like I shouldn't "judge" that Obama is a bad president or that his actions are detrimental to our nation and our national security.
