Nothing against the ageless one, but it is time for him to step down from public broadcasting.
I checked in on the former Bandstand guru a few minutes after midnight. Frankly, it was painful to watch. While the recovery from his stroke has been remarkable, watching him try to enunciate unsuccessfully made me want to change the channel immediately. I can’t imagine that anyone else watching was equally disturbed.
We’ve loved Dick’s Rockin’ New Years Eve for years, but there isn’t a need for him to be on the air himself any more.
According to the AP, Fox will create another reality show that invovles kicking someone off. But this time, it will be based around the economic climate.
The Fox network is making a reality show titled, “Someone’s Gotta Go,” out of the troubled economy, and lets co-workers decide who gets the axe. Each week, a different company lays off an employee.
Ok, so this is nitpicky, but since it popped into my head, I figured I’d share it.
What are a bunch of professional nerds doing with composite video running to their LCD? Where’s the component and HDMI connection that any self respecting hi-fi nerd would have? I smell a Monster Cable sponsorship opp.
Oh, jeeez. Do we really need this much technology in our news? Sure its cool, but c’mon. NBC doing the green screen columns with Ann Curry walking around 3-D graphs is just ridiculous, but this hologram crap may be a little too much.
I caught this little gem on MSNBC. They were reporting on the efforts to reinforce one of the levees that was about to breach. I guess the folks on site felt like it was under control.
When you’ve just stopped a levee from breaching, saving hundreds of homes, its Miller Time. (Ok, its a bud light, but you get it.)
Despite being able to tape delay any event they want, NBC cuts away from a ridiculous american comeback in beach vollyball to the women’s 200m backstroke? sure it was a medal race vs the round of 16, but I hardly think the extra 5 minutes would have upset anyone. in fact, after getting pumped from the beach vollyball win, i might have actually cared. instead, I’m just annoyed.
