Checkin' The Stats – January 2008

I thought January would never end. Heck, with the writer's strike and all, I was beginning to think February might not come at all. Just kidding. We all know that had the strike interrupted February we would have seen it come back as a mid-season replacement sometime in May or June.

Let's take a look at the stats for January.

Flopping Aces
