    NEW YORK (AP) --

    Television viewers flocked to the showdown between LSU and Alabama over the weekend, making it the top-rated regular season college football game in eight years.

    The Nielsen company said 16.6 million people watched the game late Saturday afternoon, as LSU held off the Tide’s late charge. At 7 p.m. Eastern, just before its conclusion, the audience topped 20 million people.

    Similarly, the 6.7 million people who watched Minnesota beat Penn State earlier in the day was a winner for ABC. It was the network’s biggest audience for a noon college football game in three years. It was particularly appealing to Minnesota fans; the rating for the game was the highest in Minneapolis of any college game since at least 2000, when the market ratings became available, Nielsen said.

    A different form of combat helped ABC’s “The View” this week. The shout fest that ensued when Donald Trump Jr. came on the show to promote his new book gave the show its biggest audience in six months when former Vice President Joe Biden appeared.

    Behind the dominant force of “Sunday Night Football,” NBC won the week in primetime, averaging 7.1 million viewers. Fox averaged 6.7 million, CBS had 5.8 million, ABC had 4.3 million, Telemundo had 1.27 million, ION Television had 1.25 million, Univision had 1.2 million and the CW had 720,000.

    ESPN was the week’s most popular cable network, averaging 3.06 million viewers in prime time. Fox News Channel had 2.59 million, MSNBC had 1.89 million, Hallmark had 1.54 million and History had 1.01 million.

    ABC’s “World News Tonight” topped the evening newscasts with an average of 9 million viewers. NBC’s “Nightly News” was second with 8.2 million and the “CBS Evening News” had 5.7 million viewers.

    20 Years After A 22-Minute Ovation, Guillermo del Toro and “Pan’s Labyrinth” Return To Cannes Film Fest

    Twenty years ago, Guillermo del Toro premiered "Pan's Labyrinth" at the Cannes Film Festival. He went in anxious. It was toward the end of the festival and many journalists had left. The movie's production had been a nightmare. Then the audience gave it a 22-minute standing ovation, the longest in Cannes history. "It's a commute," joked del Toro. "That's about what it takes me to get from home to the office. Alfonso Cuaron, who made this movie with me as producer, turned to me at some point and said, 'Let it in. Relax.' I was very tense. I'm not very good with praise." Del Toro returned to Cannes on Tuesday to screen a restoration of one of his most beloved films. Shortly beforehand, he met a reporter for an interview at a hotel on the Croisette, a few steps away from where his filmmaking life changed two decades ago. A lush fairy tale set against 1944 Francoist Spain, "Pan's Labyrinth" is about the young Ofelia (Ivana Baquero) who has come with her mother to stay with her new fascist stepfather, Captain Vidal (Sergi López). Taking place largely in the northern Spain, it's Del Toro at his earthiest and most imaginative. Books become alive when held. Doors manifest out of a chalk outline. And creatures — fairies, a faun, the unforgettable Pale Man, with eyes in the palms of his hands — reveal a world of deeper and darker enchantment. A pivot point for del Toro Del Toro, who has since made "The Shape of Water" and "Frankenstein," grants that he wouldn't have become the filmmaker he is today if he hadn't made "Pan's Labyrinth." At the time, he was the well-regarded but not well-known filmmaker of "Hellboy" and "Blade 2." "I was getting all the Marvel offers from Avi Arad. It was a real choice to go make the movie no one wanted... Read More
