Kenny Chesney, CMAs round 'em up
"Knight Rider" would kill for those ratings, and so would most network primetime shows, for that matter. The CMA Awards pulled in 15.9 million viewers last night, carving a fat path through the night and taking down all comers.
Though it slipped a little from the prior year, it's one of the healthy awards shows, and those are in short supply. Note to Oscar producers: Think you could find something for Brad Paisley to do?
Kenny Chesney took the top Country Music Association trophy -- entertainer of the year -- making this his fourth win in the category in five years. He's had 29 nominations over the years for seven total wins. Something to crow about? Or just a backhanded compliment? You decide.
Full list of winners here, including George Strait, who knocked Brooks & Dunn off their perch to become the winningest artist in CMA history.
Elsewhere on the dial, cable's still on fire, but Emmy nominated "Top Chef" is braising, sauteing and flambeing. On the opposite end of the spectrum, "Pushing Daisies," which picked up a dozen Emmy nominations and three wins in its first season, is cold to the touch though rigor mortis hasn't set in yet. Go here to join other obsessive fans in the fight to keep the show alive. See you there!
