Should have stayed as 'Reed's State Street Pub'. Owners tried to get too upscale in an area that has limited support for such a venue, the location was against them and the billboards and other ads didn't help when the location was hard to find. If they'd been on Lincolnway or another well-traveled street it would have helped a LOT.

They are two different types of networks, so you can't compare them. As to their relevance, neither network would have been started if they didn't think there would be enough viewership to support themselves.<br /><br />As for their demo's being similar, I wasn't aware cooking and politics drew the same demographics. In addition, Deen is a Democrat who campaigned and voted for Obama. Her demo is the polar opposite of Palin's, making your uninformed, liberal nutjob rantings invalid in every arena.Epic Failnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-63852298354111837622014-09-23T13:05:50.627-04:002014-09-23T13:05:50.627-04:00If FN were so smart, they'd never had had Lech...If FN were so smart, they'd never had had Lecherous Lenny as a contestant in the first placedwight mannsburdennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-37576310780478628742014-09-23T12:54:04.660-04:002014-09-23T12:54:04.660-04:00Those kids were hilarious.Those kids were hilarious.JudyKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-17530759876719495412014-09-23T09:06:11.460-04:002014-09-23T09:06:11.460-04:00I honestly loved all the kids, but I was also surp...I honestly loved all the kids, but I was also surprised Gibson won.
