Have you caught NBC's latest over-hyped TV series, "Smash".  The musical drama from Executive Producer Stephen Spielberg, heavily promoted before and during the Super Bowl debuted solidly on the night after the BIG GAME, but audience numbers fell off measurably for Week Two this past Monday.

TV Line's Matt Webb Mitovich says "Smash" drew 8.1 million viewers, down 29 percent from the opener, losing a quarter of the valued 18-49 year old audience. 

Leading into "Shash", the voice had almost twice as many viewers, down 10% from it's gaudy numbers of last week.

Happy to see Courteney Cox's quirky "Cougar Town" back on the ABC schedule starting tonight!  And, the new Tim Allen comedy "Last Man Standing" is growing on me.

When you fly somewhere with your Valentine, who gets the window seats on airplanes? Then your risk of death has just increased.

It turns out window seat people are at greater risk of deep vein thrombosis than other passengers. DVT is a the formation of serious blood clots in the veins which can be fatal, and on long flights, window people are less likely to get up, stretch out, and walk around. Understandable, right?  Don't want to climb over people who may be sleeping, reading, whatever to get up and get some exercise, but do it as if you're life depended on it.

Just remember to say excuse me.

There goes momentum the other way as the Giants victimized by  bad game management and a questionable pass interference missed call.

Ah, the Career Builder Dot Com monkeys.  We've been waiting for you.

Samsung.  Do I really need a phone with a pen?

I was just going to say that commercial was "over the top" and then they said it for me!

Giants "D" comes up big and gives the offense at least one last shot at pulling it out with under 4 to play.

Have we seen this before?

Giants receiver did everything but pin the ball against his helmet

Wow, a masterful drive to within an easy field goal of a Giants win.  2:00 left.

No Guts, No Gator?  No thanks.

Like the new show "Awake",I can't tell whether I'm asleep or awake at this time of night.

Remember years ago when we used to complain that Super Bowl games were dull.

New England let's them score??  The Giants didn't want to score here?  Crazy end.

Giants by 4.  :57

Is this what they mean by a New York minute?

Wow.  Wow. What a finish.  Giants 21 Patriots 17.

Commercial winner:  Chrysler and Clint Eastwood.

Pats take 10-9 lead into Madonna-time

Ouch, that has to hurt.  I don't care how good a dancer you are!

Seems to be a significant segment of social networkers who thing the halftime show was lip-synched. Don't know for sure,but she's still a talent.

Betty White is teetering on the brink of over-exposure.

Thanks, Chrysler for another tribute to Detroit.  Thanks, Clint!

Wow, this is going south in a hurry for the Giants

Seinfeld/Leno Acura spot mildly amusing.  Whole commercial thing losing steam.  Someone has to come thru before it's over.

And, here come the Giants as 'ol Mo swings back their way. But, they have to get in the end zone here.

FG better than nothing.

Is anybody still fooled by the Go Daddy! commercials?

Pats FG.  9-3 Giants.

Don't go in the pool! (TaxAct)

OK VW ad

Disgusting, David Beckham.  Although Twitter women are calling the Ad Bowl for this one's a winner!

Coke Polar Bears.  So 10 years ago.

So, what does ESPN run when the Super Bowl is on?  Poker and Strongest Men.

David Beckham now trending in a major way on Twitter

Missed Kelly's National Anthem.  Watching a fun feature on NFL Referee Ed Hochuli on NFL Network.

Oh, I'm sorry, Hyundai, was that one of your expensive commercials?

Bud Light Platinum. Someone was trying to pitch that to me at Sam's Club yesterday.

#SoLongVampires.Nice try, Audi.

Gisele Bunschen gets camera time before Peyton Manning.

A safety is the first score in the Super Bowl?  Someone who bet this just got rich!

Need to talk to Elton about that Pepsi spot when he comes to Kalamazoo.

Victor Cruz TD catch for the Giants.Almost fumbled trying to get his salsa dance started.

Twinkies make the Super Bowl!  Yeah, Chevy.

This morning on the show (6:20am, only half way thru my first cup of coffee), I was talking about the Festivus Event in Battle Creek at Leila Arboretum still on despite the snow they were hoping for for the oudoor events.

Except instead of "Arboretum", I called it "Arbortorium".  Wondered if there actually was such a thing.

Thanks to Carol for this e-mail followup:

Also the word "arbortorium" was changed to arboretum in the early 1950s. The arboretum comprises some 18,000 trees and shrubs, over an area of approximately 

That's from Wikipedia.  OK, I know, Wikipedia.  But, I'm going with it this morning!

..a bar of soap.  Now, before I misinterpret this in a major way, I note that it's from Ministry With Community, a Soap For Hope.  MWC is selling these as a fund-raiser, they come in two fragrances, are all-natural and locally produced and you can purchase as many as you like to benefit the work of Ministry With Community, Kalamazoo's only daytime shelter, by visiting them on North Church Street north of Kalamazoo Avenue or visiting ministrywithcommunity.org.

From Men's Health Magazine and one of our listeners:

Brush your teeth with your opposite hand, you'll stimulate new parts of your brain

In other words, if you hold the toothbrush in your right hand, try putting it in your left hand for a change.  Take it slowly at first, though.  It could be a morning mishap waiting to happen!

Katherine Heigl stars in "One For The Money", a new movie release this weekend.  You know Katherine, of course, from ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" and movies like "Knocked Up".

Katherine plays Stephanie Plus, a recently fired lingerie sales clerk at Macy's who takes a job as a bounty hunter for her cousin's bail bond business in Trenton, New Jersey.  She jumos at the chance to make $50,000 by seeking to bring in a bail-jumping cop wanted for murder, a man with whom she has something of a past history.

She quickly finds herself in over her head and finds herself in a multi-layered case involving drugs and murder and as the plot unfolds, there's a lot of good old fashion gritty pounding-the-pavement-of-the-mean-streets police work as opposed to the flashy CSI stuff.

Nothing really ground breaking here, but a fun movie, some good laughs especially from Debbie Reynolds as Katherine's grandmother, and worth the money for an hour and an half of entertainment.

"One For The Money" is based on author Janet Evanovich's first book in her mystery series and is rated PG-13 and I saw it at Celebration! Cinema with popcorn and SnoCaps!
