Tommie Tonight

[kc_husker]

yeah good show some parts were pretty funny. But just seeing Lincoln is cool enough. Love Tommy wering all the husker gear. :horns2 :cheers :thumbs

I know we love it, but what do you think the rest of the country thought about Lincoln?? or just the show in general?

 

[NamelessHusker]

I think several people who send thier kids to Lincoln for degrees are hoping not to see their sons and daughters geting drunk and wasted on national television. It could be good and bad at the same time. Good because it shows the university is all about academics, but bad because recruits from christian households might think NU is to much of a loose cannon party school.

Stuntz in the dark about new show

BTW, Tommy never stayed in the dorms at night. They got him an apartment off campus and made it look like a dorm room.

This program is not reality tv, but rather unscripted tv.

I thought the show goofed more on Tommy than Lincoln.

I think parents who honestly think that doesn't happen at most every campus are fooling themselves. It's only going to hurt their pride, not much else.

If you don't trust your kid to do well, or well enough, in school, then don't send them to college.

Cool quote:

PR.com: Why do you think the producers chose University of Nebraska at Lincoln over any other college setting in the country?

Matt Ellis: I think it was a place that everybody can relate to, whether you are from New York Texas, or Minnesota or even a very small town in the Midwest. You'll be able to look at Lincoln and think, "Oh I'd feel comfortable there." And, it's a college town. So, anybody whose ever had a college experience is gonna watch this show and be like, "Oh, that was just like when I was in school! I know exactly what Tommy's going through" I guess it was a place with a lot for Tommy to do and it was also obvious that he didn't fit in.

When watching it, I happened to notice a guy I know, who my brother roomed with last year...saw him on the english class part of the show, he is on the wrestling team.

Get a load of this, VH1 will be airing the show this Friday night also.

Of course it's the one we just saw, but more of the younger generation (nation-wide) will be viewing it.

Should help with more exposure.

I think it is on at 9:30 p.m. CST. Check your local listings

 

[Pedro Guerrero]

I don't think it will have much impact either way.

I think it will make an impact, not a huge one, but something.

:wtf Bernard, where did you come from, where have you been????

Tommy Lee airs tonight Station or time???

He is Eeyore dude. "It will probably rain today anyway."

 

[Eric the Red]

It was rated third for its time slot on Tuesday...5.2 million people viewed it. It'll be interesting to see what next weeks is. It could fall to half that

 

[Huskrz65]

Cool stats, Eric. Pretty cool that it rated that high. The ratings may drop, but maybe not as drastic as what you are predicting. We'll see!
