Jersey Shore Dominates Cable Ratings

by Amy Colgan on September 2, 2010 · 7 comments

GTL baby! Not sure how or why, but names like “Snooki” and “The Situation” have become the topic of conversation among young adults across the US. The second season of Jersey Shore is not only blowing the previous season’s ratings out of the water, but it’s dominating the cable summer ratings. The most recent episode “The Letter”, during which Sammi found an anonymous letter outing Ronnie for being a well-bronzed cheater, got 5.8 million viewers to tune in. Compare this number to some of cable’s most popular news programs. Yeah, “JWoWW” is right.

Season 2, although early in the season, has already crushed last season’s ratings. Last season’s first five episodes raked in a total of 8.64 million viewers, while this season’s first five episodes have a total of 27.1 million viewers!

Jersey Shore claims the title of this summer’s hottest cable series among 12-34 year olds, and is one of the year’s top five cable shows among the same demographic.

Rosie Warner has never really been able to escape the food industry.

The self-proclaimed mediocre cook has been put to work in the restaurant business since childhood, serving at her parents’ mom-and-pop business in her hometown. After a few other serving gigs, Warner and her then-husband purchased Rosie’s Diner and the Oldham native began her 26-year-and-counting career as the co-owner and main cook of the establishment.

The reality of my fantasy

by Eric Meyer August 26, 2010 Casually Unmethodical

It’s that time of year when the dog days of summer ease their barking into whimpers as autumn is upon us. For many people, not including school-age children, this is their favorite time of year. The leaves change, the temps cool down and the Twins make their final push to win the AL Central.

Celebrating theatre

by Geoffrey Nixon August 19, 2010 Big City Adventure

After four solid days of nonstop fun and foolishness, the Prairie Repertory Theatre’s 40th season reunion came to a brilliant finish. The weekend, organized by Joshua Westwick and Allison Weiland, brought together alumni who participated in Prairie Rep since its humble beginnings at Prairie Village in 1971. Through three days of beer, wine, hors d’oeuvres and more wine, alumni shared in storytelling, reminiscing and reigniting friendships from seasons past.

GARY – George Selken stops his walker at the edge of the stone courtyard at the Buffalo Ridge Resort. He’s got one more story he needs to share. There was this one student named James, he said, who wore two glass eyes. One day James left his eyes in a shirt and the headmistress took it to wash.

On Wednesday, Aug. 11, Katie Huff’s vision came to fruition when a small gathering of storytellers shared stories with each other at the Brookings Public Library. Not of the imaginary kind, these were personal stories and musings of a birthday party gone awry, self-realization and the perils of car-hooding (a small-town extreme sport).

Once again I can look at my list of New Year’s Beer Resolutions and cross one off! I had resolved to make the journey out to Crow Peak Brewing in Spearfish, South Dakota and with a little help from my girlfriend, we trekked across the Mount Rushmore state and found our brewing destination.

It’s been a wet 2010 summer and as many home-owners in SE SD can tell you, this rain has led to flooding and big messes…and it’s no surprise. Look at how the rainfall of the past 30 days compare to the average. Way above normal!
