NBC pulls plug on Jay Leno show's prime time experiment

Posted using ShareThis

This could be the end for NBC. This was not supposed to be about ratings this was about saving money instead of the cost of 5 hours of programming(mostly dramas).
It seems like everyone who wants NBC to fail on this was making noise(like CBS) and that freaked out some local NBC affiliates who threatened to air alternate programming.
NBC is in such a no win situation and so many ego's are now in play.
So now NBC's grand idea is to have Jay Leno on for 30 minutes(!?!), then the Tonight Show(which in some parts of the country in will be on at Midnight which is no longer tonight), and then Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
NBC does have the Olympics coming up and that could buy some time for programming in that time slot, but here is my award winning solution for NBC for the remainder of the TV season(appox. early September).
Cut your losses with Leno and instead of repeats of Heroes or Law and Order and please no more stupid News programs. In the 10pm(EST) slot play classic NBC shows from the Past(to remind us that NBC was once a great network).
Little House on the Prairie on Mondays, A-Team on Tuesdays, L.A. Law on Wednesday, Cheers and Seinfeld on Thursday and Bonanza on Friday.
It's just a thought and no worse than Jay Leno!

Obama Won't Bump Lost Premiere

Seriously!
The premiere of Lost is more important than the Presidents State of the Union.
Let's just think about that for a little while and get back to me.

Dodd Retirement May Help Banking Bill?

Analysis: Dodd Retirement May Help Banking Bill - ABC News

I love the first line of this article

Freed from his liberal base and moneyed donors, Sen. Chris Dodd can now cast himself as the honest broker in negotiations over a massive Wall Street regulation bill.

This is an interesting analysis for ABC News Jim Kuhnhenn, but I can't help but snicker when I read this. That somehow honesty and integrity can only occur when you are without a base or donor or therefore an agenda.

My guess is that a politician can leave politics, but the politics doesn't leave the Politician.

Wow I don't know what to say about this story. It seems that South Africa has come so far in a short time, but looks like it still has a ways to go.
Here is the Wikipedia article on this clown. Apparently Polygamy is the least of his vices.
At least they have the World Cup this summer.

I may be wrong. But maybe we have enough on our plates right now. In this case maybe we should let Iran take care of Iran and the problem might fix itself. Follow Iran on Twitter and you decide.
Maybe Sen. Kerry should worry more about the Heinz trust fund.

It seems kind of hokey. But what ever it will take for ESPN to show sports(stop talking about it, and stop showing 12 hours of Sportscenter) I am in favor it.

Childress Wanted Favre to Come Out of Game!

Favre irked that Childress pondered pulling him

Now the fun begins. I have the sounds Prima Donna from Phantom of the Opera ringing in my head!
Wrong time of the year for this childish behavior that might of even cost them the game, and what is the point of having a Head Coach if the "Star Player" can do whatever he wants(he's earned that right remember).
It is entertainment after all and after the Packers choked at Pittsburgh this helped tremendously!

Jackson's 'Captain EO' to return to Disneyland!

I was a teenager when this came out, and while I was never a big Michael Jackson fan along with his pretty poor Captain Kirk impression, I remember enjoying this short film that I recall seeing at Epcot Center in Florida.
The 3-D imaging was different than anything 3-D I had seen previously, and the music was pretty good(for the time).
So if you are planning a trip to Disneyland a little moonwalking diversion could be fun!

Dude, They're Putting Pot in More than Brownies!

This is a good article from The Wisconsin State Journal about a new medical-marijuana shop called Ganja Gourmet in Denver.
I guess as the old saying goes anything that uses oregano could be substituted with that wacky weed.
But $89 for a pizza is a little steep. Especially if it works because afterwards you are going to want 4 more of them!

Tiger Woods Agent: Paper 'Falsely Reported' Doc's Connection To Golfer

Tiger Woods agent Mark Steinberg is falling for I am calling a media bait by linking Tiger to a Canadian Doctor Anthony Galeawho who is suspected of dealing HGH(Human Growth Hormone).

The bait is by attacking Tiger professionally that he will be forced to(finally) have a press conference or interview where he will be forced to answer questions about his personal life.

Stay tuned because this maybe covered on television someday.

Really? Was it that bad of a year? No one else in the World made a significant contribution to be considered except a man who pretty much did nothing. Didn't raise interest rates, didn't comply with Congress over audits over bail out money, didn't smile, etc.

Didn't someone in this country win the Nobel Peace Prize? What about those people running that collider in Switzerland, they haven't destroyed the Earth yet they should get some votes. Brett Favre coming out of retirement(again) should get some consideration, and the voters of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for letting in Abba over Supertramp surely get my vote.
I guess when I really think about it I can't come up with anyone better, which is probably why Time Magazine has been doing this for many years. I should learn to trust them.

Yes! ABBA's Induction into Rock Hall of Fame Gives Me a Supercramp!

Stooges, Jimmy Cliff, Genesis, & ABBA Get Rock Hall Of Fame Nods | Billboard.com

My annual discussion about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is here again as another round of inductees are let in while others have not being let in for one reason or another.

My usual debate is that I have no problem of gets in, but who gets left out. I guess that happens to all "Hall of Fames".

I love ABBA, I have all their albums-- I mean a "friend of mine" does. But c'mon man. ABBA, Blondie, Jackson Browne, John Fogerty(while with CCR),THE STOOGES(!!!!) are in, while founders of progressive rocks groups like Yes, King Crimson and Supertramp still wait for an invite.

I fail to recognize this organization until it finds a better method for their flawed induction process.
(There I showed them!)

Al Gore shoots self, climate summit in foot?

More inconvenient truth for Al Gore

Posted using ShareThis

Another perspective in this article from Tech Generation Daily.

Once again Mr. Gore is taking some data and cherry picking for effect some great catastrophe(and yet to prove if losing the ice caps would be a catastrophe).
At least he didn't say the "science is clear", but I was disgusted with his tone of the speech.

I believe that climate change is real(it's been going on for billions of years), and that humans may have some(SOME!) influence.
The science may be clear, but it is not clear how we all perceive that science and data and who is using it and who is profiting from it(Gore!).
