I wonder what would happen if the show was cancelled.

If anything, it would be banashed to the nether-regions of Bravo.

It was up against the season premiere of 24....that's like the kiss of death.

4th place really doesn't seem that bad to me...

I'm not surprised. The main target audience are many of the members of this board, and not many of them liked it.

4th means they don't even get a bronze medal, just a blue ribbon.

4.9/7 is a terrible number, because it suggests the show was being walloped by not only the other networks but probably some of the cables as well.

From Playbill.com:

The T-Birds and Pink Ladies were no match for the Patriots, Chargers, a man named Jack Bauer and home renovators as NBC's "Grease: You're the One That I Want" placed fourth in television ratings with 8.18 million viewers.

According to preliminary ratings, the new NBC talent competition show, which will cast the leads in Broadway's forthcoming revival of Grease, was beaten in its timeslot by the end of CBS' coverage of the New England Patriots-San Diego Chargers game, "60 Minutes," FOX's season premiere of "24" and ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition"

In its Jan. 7 debut, the show pulled in an average of 11.59 million total viewers.

Are those 2 photos of the same guy? If so, why is he wearing wigs in both photos?

Ugh, he's like a hotter, younger Harry Connick Jr.

Oops, thanks Brody. I'm in texas which is central time.


DH was off the chain either way, fools.

Yeah, I vote for the hairspray hottie too--even if he's a big bottom

Austin's not wearing wigs JohnBoy, he just has 'Matinee Idol' hair...

[JohnBoy2]

Posted: 1/16/07 at 2:42pm

Wow. What difference does it make if your hair is real, if it looks like a bad wig? Who is he, anyway?

[Wanna Be A Foster]

Posted: 1/16/07 at 2:45pm

Looks like a vers top to me.

[Mister Matt]

Posted: 1/16/07 at 2:47pm

He's Austin Miller. I saw him as Link in the Hairspray tour and met him at Marc Shaiman's benefit performance. He is incredibly talented and a very sweet guy. It was fun chatting with him as we basically share the same home town.
