Monday Night Football
Even though tonight is Thursday, it marked the first installment of Monday Night Football.
It is probably ABC's most consistently popular program. Unfortunately, it ends so late that most people have long since gone to bed. To make matters worse, a few years ago, ABC added an extra segment, with commercials, after the game, which extends it another 5-10 minutes.
In a fair and just world, Monday Night Football would start at 8:00 PM, a more civilized time. But, there would be no early local news on the West Coast, and that seems to be the stumbling block.
O.K. - I know - This is all very selfish on my part, since I have to stay until 35 minutes after Monday night Football ends. So, sue me.
Tonight, to open the season, ABC ran a musical special at 8:00 PM. With it, we established again that Britney Spears, as adorable as she is, can't sing, nor can she dance, nor can she even lip synch with conviction.
Did I mention she's adorable?
