Sometimes love just ain't enough to sustain marriage, adolescents tell poll

Teenagers tend to believe it takes more than love to make a marriage, according to a Gallup Poll regarding teens' views on marriage. The poll asked 13- to 17-year-olds whether they think that, when it comes to marriage, "love should be the only consideration."

Only 25 percent agreed, while 74 percent say other things should be considered in addition to love.



ON THE TUBE

'Hawaii' vs. 'Lost': Locally filmed shows competing for viewers again tonight

If you like pulling for the underdog, tune in to NBC's "Hawaii" at 7 tonight. Last week marked the first time the two shows, both shot on O'ahu, squared off against each other.

Viewers apparently found ABC's "Lost" quite easily on remote control. Part I of the show's pilot drew more than 18 million viewers, the best showing for ABC in that time slot since it's "Millionaire" heyday.

The success of "Lost" came at the expense of "Hawaii," which suffered its lowest ratings to date last week. Round 2 is at 7 tonight. If you like underdogs, "Hawaii" is the choice. If you're part of the water-cooler crowd, "Lost" is the pick.

And don't forget: NBC is running "The Apprentice" at 8 tonight because of tomorrow's presidential debate.



FINAL WORD

Janet Jackson | quoted last month in Blender:

"Justin Timberlake has changed. He's gotten cocky. Some people can handle success and some can't."
