Slane-ted And Enchanted

A nation rejoices — The U.S. will get to see the U2 Live At Slane special on CBS, Friday, November 29th, 10 PM ET/PT. So sez @U2, and they’re good folk… unlike us, who subjected you to the headline above. Carry on.

  1. Friday at 10:00pm on what is usually the biggest holiday shopping day of the year??!! (day after Thanksgiving). Horrible time slot. Expect the ratings to be shockingly low for this one. Reminds me of the POPmart special on ABC which aired the night after the Vegas opener. Saturday at 9:00pm. And I was living in the Central time zone at the time, so I think areas like Los Angeles and Seattle actually got it at 10:00pm. On a Saturday night for God’s sake. Hmmmm, could that possibly have contributed to the fact that it was one of the lowest rated programs in U.S. broadcast history??? Knowing how the entertainment media jumps on this kind of stuff, I hope U2 doesn’t get a kicking if the ratings aren’t stellar for this Slane show.

  5. Tardy — everyone’ll be home from the malls by 10:00, CBS could be hoping that the American public will just want to collapse in front of the TV with a hot Irish coffee and the world’s most lovable rock band. ;-D
