Orphan Annie, Meet Russ Meyer
The boob tube seems to be driving your web searches this week. Some of the fastest-rising user queries: |
|
| Annie | |
| ABC's Sunday night Disney presentation of Annie was a surprise hit, reaching #6 in the Nielsen Ratings. |
| | | Regis | |
| The game show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, hosted by Regis Philbin, is getting a flood of queries. The tension-loving quiz show just started its second run on ABC. |
| | | Russ | |
| The E! Channel is running a biography of low-budget, vixen-happy film director Russ Meyer this week. Searches for Meyer have shot up, possibly due to his standard subject matter. |
| | | Batman | |
| Superstation TBS showed the 1997 flick Batman and Robin last weekend, spurring a spate of searches for the Caped Crusader. Side note: we didn't see much rise in searches for Alicia "Batgirl" Silverstone. Has she lost her touch with the younger generation? |
| | | X-Files | |
| The X-Files had its season premiere (at last!) on Sunday. The show may be on its last legs, but fans still turn out online. The X-Files had more searches last week than cult faves like Ally McBeal and Dawson's Creek and even more than Nielsen leaders Friends and E.R. |

No new mystery term today. Still wondering about yesterday's entry:
HVAC
We know this stands for heating, ventilation and air conditioning, but why is it always so popular? Just who is looking for it?
If you can shed some light, please post a note on our boards.

Recent mystery terms explored:
Tuesday's topic ROAST generated duelling responses. On the one hand we have celebrity roasts for boards and the boards; on the other hand we have Thanksgiving boards.
Searches for BLEEK are probably aimed at rapper Malik Cox, aka Memphis Bleek, according to loyal user boards. Mr. Bleek has a new solo album on the market. To read more about him, click here.
LUTHERAN: The very same Jon Reeves notes that the Lutheran church recently buried the hatchet with the Catholic church. Searches on the Vatican are up as well, so it seems we can stamp this one "solved."
