It’s a Wrap!

Wednesday, December 29th, 2010

As we wrap up 2010, we look back at some of this year’s great achievements as well as the unexpected.

 Super Bowl XLIV – The New Orleans Saints vs. Indianapolis Colts according to Nielsen was the most watched TV program in history bringing in 106.5 million viewers.

The Winter Olympics – Opening ceremony drew a 32. 6 million viewers and earned a 17.3/30 national rating making the event the most watched opening ever for a non US winter Olympic.

Party hats off to CBS for being the number 1 network on all five week nights; CBS has eight of the TOP TEN Broadcast.  Some of the success was due to “Two and a Half Men” being first in households and viewers for the 13th time in 14 weeks.  “ NCIS” was the #1 scripted series in viewers for drama adults 25-54 and adults 18-49.   Mon-9:30P “Mike & Molly”, Tues-8:30p –“$#*! My dad”, Weds; “Criminal Minds”; Thursdays at 8pm ET- “Big Bang Theory”.  Friday- “CSI Crime Investigation”, “CSI NY” and “Blue Bloods”.

On the unexpected side, The rescue of 33 Chilean miners trapped 2,050 feet underground for 69 days.   One by one the miners climbed into a designed steel capsule barely wider than a man’s shoulder and took the 15 minute journey.  It was captured on televison all over the World bringing hope and faith to the rescue of these miners.

The NFL Season  was very unexpected.  Teams that we thought would do well did not, and teams that usually did not do well beat some of the best teams.  Kansas City Chiefs having a long 10 year losing streak was the Champions for their division. The Denver Broncos ending their season with a  4-12 Season, Ouch!  Maybe next year if there is a NFL Season. All I can say is NEXT!

In closing, I would like to mention that InLine Media every year chooses a charity to donate either our time or dollars to help a worthy cause. This year we donated a Llama to benefit a family through Heifer International.  ‘We named her “Dolly” as the Dolly Llama.  We hope to bring good fortune to this family. 

Happy New Year Everyone!

OUT!

Fall Premiers Have Started!!

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Ann has done a great job preparing for us all for Fall 09 TV. Well, last night one of my guiltiest pleasures started, Biggest Loser. Two of my best girlfriends from college come over every Tuesday to watch. We make dinner and open a bottle of wine and enjoy. We all have our favorites and typically get pretty competitive. Last night sadly they were both out of town so I wasn’t able to get their favorites. But I’ve got mine. This season is all about second chances so; in fact one of mine has been set since last season.
Last season the largest contestant in Biggest Loser history, Daniel, entered the competition at 457 pounds. His partner was not as dedicated as he was and sadly young Daniel and his partner were sent home early in the competition. However, at home Daniel continued to drop pounds and by the finale he was down to 312 pounds. Last night he brought tears to my eyes with his inspiring first place finish in the first competition of running/walking a mile! Players were allowed to pick their teammates and because of his first place finish he received the first pick and took the new “Largest contestant ever,” Shay. I’m nervous about his selection with her giving up last night but, Daniel is pretty motivational so I’m hoping he can pull her through. More importantly I’m hoping they don’t get into a team elimination situation and Daniel falls victim again to being only as strong as your weakest link.
My second favorite of the night was Abby. Without question it was the story behind her journey that captured everyone’s heart. I know everyone at InLine was in tears. This poor woman lost her entire family in a car accident. Her daughter was 5 and a half and he son a mere 2 and a half weeks old. I was on Abby’s team before but she captured me when she said “I’m different than anyone else here, I don’t have a reason to live, it would be easier for me to die. But I get up and take that step everyday and make the choice to live.” WOAH! But, Abby is so positive she continued to go on saying that “There has to be a reason she wasn’t in that car, there has to be something she is meant to do.” While I might not being a great job of describing it, her positivity is contagious!
Daniel lost 12 pounds putting him into the 200’s for the first time in quite some time! Abby lost 15 Pounds! Both great numbers for week one. Let’s hope they don’t fall victim to typical Week 2 hardships!

Another Late Night!

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

Monday night, we ventured off with our Colorado Springs Co-op to Coors Field. Well, yup another late night in the world of advertising! We witnessed Rockies history and one heck of a game. Ilene, Ann, Mike and I entertained our group and hung in there for 15 innings. After the 9th, the score was tied, and Ilene was out of beverages. Just another long day in AdLand, “Peanuts for all” is what she shared.
I was delighted & proud that the InLiners hung in for the home team. Mike, our “IT” Guy, made sure we all stayed put – after all, we had clients to tend to, AND had come for a game. It was well past 11PM, and we had our doubts…Mike let out a shout as “Spilly” got up to bat. The bases were loaded, a “Grand Slam” he ordered! Yes, that’s what we got. I guess it pays to listen to your IT Pro! We left the stands at 11:45 – WOW.
In reflection, an outing intented just for fun, will be long remembered by everyone.
Ann Bremer added her color commentary, and I learned a lot.
Ilene Nathanson was our water (beer) girl, and boy can she schlep. Mike, the IT Guy, brought us good luck, and today is still talking of “ducks”. At the end of the day, I’m glad to proclaim our team is a winner – inside and out. We hung in there together and would do it again.
