Filling out the top 10 was MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew, Nickelodeon’s Kids Choice Awards special, two episodes of WWE Raw, Nickelodeon’s Zoey 101, Disney’s Ella Enchanted, and, of course, two episodes of Nickelodeon’s Spongebob, which also took 7 of the second 10 spots.
No more sightings of Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor which placed two in last weeks list. In fact, the second 20 was dominated by Spongebob and other Nick fare plus two Law & Order:SVUs at #25 and #28, and the ESPN Sunday Night Baseball game of the opening day and stadium opening game between the Braves and the Nationals at #26.

OMG South Park has always been pushing the limits, but the last few episodes w/ Britney Spear’s head being shot off (literally she shoots her head off, and performs @ the MTV VMA’s exactly like she did in real life) was CRAZY!!!!!!!!! Hey I just noticed your ad on the right about MY CELEBRITY PROM DATE- it’s a quiz I’m going to take and I’ll let you know who’s going to be my baby daddy tomorrow. Cool ad guys:-)

I finished the 14 questions in 2 min, but @ the end the site wanted me to “become a free member” for it to score my quiz and send me my future baby daddy’s identity (a.k.a. Celebrity Prom Date’s name)WTF?!?!?! I’m already a member of over 50 different sites, so over the years I’ve become choosy about giving my e-mail all willy-nilly for SPAM CRAP! Oh well I’ll just keep believing it will be WENTWORTH MILLER, cuz he’s too sexy for his shirt!!!!!!!!!!
