RATINGS ARE IN FROM NICKELODEON!

BOO! We didn't get to witness the premier of "Three Delivery" last week on Nick', but thanks to Producer extraordinaire Amy Feldman at AC, we have some pics!


YAY US!!!

From Nicktoons…

The premiere of Three Delivery on Friday at 730p “was one of the highest rated” original series premiere “ever” .

The show rated very well with Kids 6-11, and also with Girls 6-11. It beat the average time slot for that period from the past month, and it rated higher than its lead in show.

It was the highest rated Nicktoons original premiere with Girls. It also did very well with Tweens9-14.

Allan likes what he hears! YUM!

And Now for some Guitar Hero!

FROM THE OFFICE OF MR.BANKS

HOW TO GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING

  1. Search the internet for "free stuff." You'll find Web sites that index online freebies from manufacturers and retailers.
    Arrive at rummage sales, garage sales, flea markets, farmers markets and library book sales an hour before closing to find drastically reduced prices or freebies.
  2. Shop the nurseries at jumbo retailers in the autumn. Some stores give away dormant perennials (if they don't know better) that will re-bloom in the spring.
  3. Become a mystery shopper or participate in survey groups to get free meals, products or services and, possibly, even a paycheck. Search online to find opportunities in your area.
  4. Attend the grand opening of new stores for free samples and giveaways. Many stores take a loss in freebies on their first day to attract customers.
  5. Go on factory tours. You'll often get free samples of whatever the factory makes, be it ice cream, tortillas or peanut butter.
  6. Call customer service if you have a legitimate complaint on an item. You may get a replacement product, plus freebies to keep you happy.
  7. When making a large purchase, such as a computer, sofa or big-screen TV, ask the salesperson, "What else will I get if I buy this here?" You may discover rebates, offers and giveaways.
  8. Volunteer for concerts, athletic events and other fundraisers for charities and nonprofits. You'll find plenty of free food, T-shirts and products donated by corporate sponsors.
  9. Get free diapers, formula mix and baby food by disclosing your address to third parties when you register for baby gifts or sign up for new parent services.
  10. Listen to radio stations that give away tickets and other prizes to listeners. Use speed-dial and multiple lines to better your chances when you call in.
