DVD Top 20: This looks like it’s going to be Joy Ride 3‘s last week in the DVD Top 20. Oh, well, it had a great run for virtually no promotion and I thought it was a very decent sequel!
9 8 Robocop
11 10 Under the Skin
20 17 Joy Ride 3
Television Viewership: None of my sources are supplying certain cable ratings, so if you’re a fan of shows like “Finding Bigfoot” and “Ancient Aliens” then you’re going to be missing out. I’m also wondering how well the new season of “Face Off” is doing, but no one is providing numbers for that show either!
