Hello, my dears. I can't abide reading or writing about American politics tonight, so I popped a Haldol and have been looking at pictures from my visit to an aquarium a few years ago. Cuttlefish are very relaxing. The aquarium was the Aquarium of Western Australia.

Fox (average of 1.5/6) won the night in 18-49 with a new _Kitchen Nightmares_ (1.6/6), the highest-rated program of the night, followed by a repeat of the unscripted series (1.4/5). ABC (1.3/4) was second with a_ Shark Tank_ rerun and newsmagazines, followed by NBC, which aired _Friday Night Lights _(0.9/3, up a tenth) and_ Dateline._ It was quite the hectic week in the Big Apple, as television's biggest names converged on New York City for the major network's Upfront events spanning the past seven days. Making a splash to get things rolling, FOX unveiled its strong lineup including "Glee," "House" and new competition show "The X-Factor" - which saw Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole and Paula Abdul all on-hand to boost interest in their upcoming program. Meanwhile, CBS' biggest moment was the presentation of the cast of "Two and a Half Men" - which will return on Monday nights with Ashton Kutcher filling the void left by Charlie Sheen. With NBC and ABC both showing off their newly retooled lineups, growing network The CW rounded out the Upfront action on Thursday (May 19) with the station's stars Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder, Shenae Grimes, AnnaLynne McCord and Rachel Bilson all turning up for the festivities.

San Jose's best players missing in action, while Canucks click on all cylinders ABC will be launching 8 of its 13 new scripted series in the fall, including _Charlie's Angels,_ which has been given the tough task to open Thursday night. As we predicted, the network is opening up a comedy block on Tuesday and using Tim Allen's comedy _Last Man Standing_ to anchor it. ABC proved it was serious about _Happy Ending_, giving the modestly rated midseason series its prime comedy slot after _Modern Family_. Also noteworthy - 1960s soap _Pan Am_ landed the post-_Desperate Housewives_ slot, and ABC opted to go scripted in the Sunday 8 PM slot long occupied by _Extreme Makeover: Home Edition _with new fantasy series _Once Upon a Time._ Here is ABC's release with the fall schedule: > New ABC series for the 2011-12 season are "Apartment 23," "Charlie's Angels," "Good Christian Belles," "Last Man Standing," "Man Up," "Missing," "Once Upon a Time," "Pan Am," "Revenge," "The River," "Scandal," "Suburgatory" and "Work It."

CW's veteran _Smallville_ had a solid though not spectacular end of its 10-year run last night.

In its season finale, _CSI: NY_ (1.5/5, 10.2 million) slipped a tenth from last week while the season closer of _Blue Bloods_ (1.7/5, 11.4 million) was up 13%. CBS won the night in 18-49 (1.5/5) and total viewers (9.7 million).

The show has held What is the worst thing that can happen when an average Joe gets thrown in jail? Jeff Foxworthy and Vincent Pastore are to appear in an upcoming episode of the U.S. business-themed reality series, "Shark Tank,"...... A number of celebrities have taken to live-tweeting while their pre-taped shows air — including Survivor host Jeff Probst, Mark Cuban on ABC's "Shark Tank," and Anthony Bourdain on Travel Channel's "No Reservations." The audience that has already sprung up on Twitter to turn watching their favorite show into a communal event can now interact directly with one of the people they're tweeting about. It restores the value of watching TV programming live as it airs at a time when secondary options from Hulu to iTunes to DVRs are draining the value of commercials. Some of you have asked me about the sharks in Australia--what they like to eat, for instance. Well, as far as I can tell, sharks like cold barbecue chicken. I'm not a marine biologist or a shark expert. I... REDWOOD CITY, CA (MARKET WIRE) Zazzle, the leading platform for quality custom products, today announced the addition of OrigAudio™'s "Doodle" speaker, a successful invention recently featured on ABC's hit television show "Shark Tank," to its ever-expanding line of customizable products.

Here are a few highlights. **1. Five days is enough to start a company. **At least that's the Startup Bus philosophy. Jam enough talented people together in close quarters, generate hundreds of ideas, develop a handful of them in days, and--boom--ready to present to investors. Sunday afternoon, the "buspreneurs," young programmers, mostly, who had rolled in to Austin on busses from five cities late last week, packed into Dogpatch Labs' sweaty, temporary space at 6th Street's Treehouse Pub to pitch--Shark Tank style--five judges and four investors. The standouts? New York's bus had the benefit of hype ("I really think New York had the best bus, and that's not a bias," investor Peter Flint of Polaris told the New York Observer), due to local-listing pitch LemonadeStand, the early media favorite. But it was taken down in Round One by the "the Yelp for medical tourism," TripMedi. Yes, that entails user-reviews of Singapore's tummy-tucks.

With less than ten minutes to go in the game Patrick Marleau pretty much stuck a knife in Detroit's back. Gets a great pass and dumps it past Jimmy ...
