I'm trying to remember what movie that might have been. It sounds familiar.

An interesting thing to watch for is what is called "Sweeps". These are done in February, May, July and November. During this period they measure the audience, and this is how the TV Networks determine how much to sell commercial time for.

If you watch a show like Oprah during these periods, this is when she is more likely to trot out 12 year old girls who think that oral sex isn't really sex. Or strippers with a heart of gold... People from sex cults trying to figure out how it all went wrong. You know, that kind of show.

You won't see reruns during sweeps, and the sexual content skyrockets.

We are coming up to February sweeps. If you watch for this, it will amaze you.
