YOU KNOW IT'S SWEEPS WHEN...

It's February sweeps and every show on TV is doing outrageous things to get ratings. Here's a sampling of what went down this week:

Live! with Regis & Kelly - Regis & Kelly are celebrating 10 years together. On Wednesday, they had David Letterman and First Lady Michelle Obama both on one show.

Swift Justice with Nancy Grace - On today's show, a woman sued a stripper because she didn't return her stripper pole kit. There was a pole in court. Both women demonstrated their dancing skills, with the lights down and porn music playing in the background. Later on, Nancy blew into a breathalyzer during another case.

The Doctors - Dr. Ruth was on the show on Friday talking sex. The doctors brought out an "orgasm buffet," filled with foods that put you in the mood. Potatoes, basil and a "frisky fruit salad" were on the list.


Oprah - The entire cast of THE VIEW was on Oprah, sitting on her stage at a roundtable like they do on their show.
