Thank you all for your kind words...I shall miss the garbage game!



SW is partially right. I did in fact see three of my bottom five selections:

The winning roster was the following:

midWC: 65th Annual Golden Globe Awards (NBC) -> watched live
midWC: College Football 2007: Allstate Sugar Bowl: Hawaii vs. Georgia (FOX) -> not my cup of tea
botWC: Rules of Engagement (CBS) -> might have watched, but I think it was an encore
73. Notes From The Underbelly (ABC) -> DVR, watched later
90. CW Now (CW) -> watched live
