I hope this doesn't ruin ratings for Desperate Housewives.

I don't think that having her come out in a towel and then nude... is going to hurt that tv show in the least.

It was more exciting than anything that was on the ballgame.

I can believe it. The show really does appeal to both sexes. I know I never miss it.

ABC issued an apology:

"We have heard from many of our viewers about last night's `MNF' opening segment and we agree that the placement was inappropriate," ABC said. "We apologize."

I do think that even more people will be tuning in for sure.

You have to wonder if ABC intentionally pushed some buttons just to get the free publicity. Not that the show needs it, but who knows, maybe another 2 million viewers will tune on this week.

Van_Smack · 11-18-2004, 11:34 AM

nah, I doubt it.

I was really impressed that abc apologized so humbly. I mean, it sort of wasn't even a wrong thing, but they took responsiblity.

oh yeah, and I definitely won't be stopped -- I am hooked.
