Why 9:00, 8:00 Central?
Have you ever wondered why the Central time zone has a different time for TV programs? Who decides that kind of thing? Do you think it could possibly be based on the mid-westerner stereotype of being more of the hard working type, early to bed and early to rise? What do you think, or maybe you know?
I spent most of my life watching TV in the Central time zone until I was almost 30, so it was weird when we moved out west to have prime time shows not start until 8 and the local news not on until 11, but I am used to it now. It used to be no big deal to stay up to watch at least part of the late night talk shows, but I never hardly watch them anymore. This is probably a good thing since there is a lot of trash on these programs anyway. Even though there is a prevalence of filth on Saturday Night Live, I do miss some of the hilarious sketches on there. One of the favorites for me and my wife was Chris Farley as the motivational speaker with the classic lines "in a van down by the river" and the one we repeat often to each other "well lah-tee-freakin-dah".

I am not good for late night ratings, usually in bed way too early...
