It would actually be more settling if corporate did push that down. The show needed a boost, and unfortunately, the wrong boost was hired.<br /><br />Having The Most Elligible chick on had nothing to do with the Ticket Chick Show. You just don't throw a show together like that, if even on Sunday nights.

In fact, there's a reason Danny knew them so well: that particular genre within 70s music is having a bit of a renaissance among the hipster crowd. I hang out on a somewhat frequent basis in a bar he and his friends are regulars at. It's mostly all they play on the juke. Hence Mike also being into it; he takes his cue from Dan Balls, Mr. Chad, and a few others--Mike has become quite "young" over the past few years in just about every way possible, including in "that position(s)." Dan is more of a "yacht rock" guy.

(To the person who said "why would we take off of work", some of us like to meet the guys and interact with them. But...anyway, the people Gordo was interviewing worked for the Ticket and the guy in the blue shirt was a vendor there for a commercial. Anyway, I agree in that it was very poorly promoted and prepared for. They've got lots of marketing and promotions people who should make those things go smoother than it did.

Once it began, the few promos that were aired were a bit confusing. The hosts did very little in regards to promotion, either. When you add in the other half of the equation, KTXD, a channel that most people don't know exists (meaning their promo efforts are almost meaningless), what you get is a big fat zero in the Nielsen's.
