Join actor Mitch Pileggi (The X-Files, Supernatural, Sons of Anarchy) on Saturday, October 3, 2009 at PC’s Bar & Grill for a gathering of family, friends and supporters for a fundraiser to benefit Judi Ward in her battle against Leiomyosarcoma.

PC’s Bar & Grill in Simi Valley plays host to a gathering of family, friends and supporters to benefit Judi Ward in her battle against Leiomyosarcoma (“LMS”). Judi has been diagnosed with this very rare form of cancer – LMS affects 4 out of a million people. Last year, she was laid off from her job and no longer has health insurance. Event organizers hope the afternoon’s celebrations will help defray the costs of treating this aggressive disease.

While the cause is serious, the event will be a fun, relaxed affair complete with prizes, gifts and a raffle of memorabilia from Mitch Pileggi’s (The X-Files, Supernatural, Sons of Anarchy) television work. Come on down and meet Mitch, have some fun, raise awareness of this disease and help support this fabulous woman.

Can’t attend the event but still want to help? Judi’s family has set up a donation website just for this purpose: http://judiwardlmsfundraiser.yolasite.com/

Event Details:

Date: 10/3/2009
Time: 2:00pm
Where: PC’s Bar & Grill, 4250 Los Angeles Ave., Simi Valley, CA 93063

Sons of Anarchy staying strong for FX with 3.76 million on September 29

Posted on 30 September 2009 by Robert Seidman

Tuesday night Sons of Anarchy averaged  3.76 million viewers and a  1.9/5 A18-49 at 10pm Tuesday, almost edging out the broadcast competition on ABC (The Forgotten – 2.0/5 with adults 18-49).    That’s up in viewers from last week’s 3.49 million, and flat with adults 18-49.

So far, the show is outperforming, and by a fairly wide margin,  the 2009 performance of FX’s  Damages and Rescue Me.

One thing we hear a lot about with some of the other cable networks is the # of additional viewers during encore broadcasts.  Last week (9/22) in addition to the 3.49 million at 10pm, another 1.53 million watched the 11:02 encore, and another 975,000 watched a Sunday night at 11pm airing.  A Friday at 11pm airing averaged 841,000  and Tuesday 1am airing another 739,000.   By the HBO math, that’s almost 7.6 million for the week, so FX is getting pretty good mileage out of the show.
