I took the Tuesday exam; reviewing the recording I made of myself taking the 
test, I think I scored 41/50, my best score yet.  The normal 
assortment--answers I knew, a couple I guessed correctly on, and a couple I 
knew but brain farted on (seriously, I knew what city hosted the World’s Fair 
in 1893, but I couldn't come up with where the 2008 Olympics were held?)

Re: [TV orNotTV] This week's J! test

[Eric Duckman]

First time attempting it tonight and realised that my knowledge may not be
American centric enough. I thought I didn't have a chance though if
approximately 35 is the magic number there's hope still.

Yes, I took the test Tuesday night, and think I got about 40 — supposedly,
35 puts you into the pool to be randomly selected for an audition. I’m
pretty sure I’ve passed the test every year, but haven’t gotten invited to
an audition since 2010.

[TV orNotTV] This week's J! test

['David Bruggeman' via TVorNotTV]

Once again I tripped up on a river question.  I really need to review my 
mountain ranges and rivers before the test each time.  At least I got the 
mountain question right.
Did anyone else take the plunge this week?  I think I did well enough make the 
audition, but I still have to be randomly selected.

To correct my earlier post, it was a 12-year-old who got knocked out.
If any of these kids had beaten one fo the sons of the rulers, I
wonder what would have happened to them.

I would think the local legal age of majority would be a good place to

rules for contact sports.

[TV orNotTV] Re: Monday Night Football ratings down; what about NFL as a whole?

[JW]

Mike Mulvihill of Fox Sports tweeted this:

NFL viewership trend through Week 4:

Regionalized Windows
CBS: -3%
FOX: -3%

National Windows
TNF: -15%
SNF: -13%
MNF: -19%


Apparently, people are still watching their local teams, but aren't as
interested in the prime time games. That would seem to put the lie to
anthem issues; beyond that, I wouldn't argue with any of the reasons people
have proposed. And we'll see where the ratings are at the end of the year.
