The Mark Feuerstein streak continues - after just three weeks, "3 Lbs." is done. All eyes are on you, fellow ratings poison Josh Cooke and "Big Day," which got miserable ratings after its debut Tuesday.
Let's count the brain surgery/medical puns in the Variety article linked above:
1) "Brain drain: '3 Lbs.' goes to early grave"
2) "It's not brain surgery, but it's canceled."
3) "New CBS medical drama "3 Lbs." has been declared brain dead after just three weeks"
4) "the Eye has yet to pull the plug officially."
5) "After weighing the latest Nielsen numbers,"
6) "Killing "3 Lbs." was a no-brainer"
That's six puns in a 268 word article - which is a stunning 44 words-to-pun ratio. Clear space on your mantle for that Pulitzer, Adam Dawtrey, Josef Adalian and your collegue also named Josef Adalian.
