I could argue that I care less about this than you do, because I didn't find and share any information about it ;-) I'm with you, although i did click the link to make sure that the Steve Jones involved was neither the former Sex Pistol nor the former basketball player. -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People!

[TV orNotTV] A nice review of the new Ernie Kovacs DVD collection
Someone took some time to do the review, including quotes from folks from MST3k and Late Night. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/08/arts/television/the-ernie-kovacs-collection-new-on-dvd.html?partner=rssemc=rss -- Kevin M.

I was always under the impression that what did Millionaire in was that ABC overexposed it by running an hour-long version in primetime nearly every night, because they had a lot of poor-performing series and little in the pipeline to rush into development for air ... but I can't deny that it certainly spawned a lot of prime-time big bucks game shows. My favorite was Greed but that has as much to do with Chuck Woolery being the host than the game itself.

Re: [TV orNotTV] its been two years...
When I got a comment from Tom Heald on anything I'd written on this board, I knew I had done well. When he used one of my trivia questions, I considered it a highlight of my entire online life (which is approaching 16 years). I regret not knowing him better.

Roger does gardening, Kevin and Steve are both admitted hosts with no experience (though I think Kevin is much more proficient than Steve ever was). I was giving a shout out the ones who taught basic plumbing over the years (though Roger taught me why it was important to wash with cold water after working in the garden -- for a guy like me with various allergies, I am grateful). And I agree about the instruction of TOH. Ask This Old House is where you learn things. TOH is 'window shopping.' I like the Ask element because it ensures things will get learned every hour, and it is produced in an entertaining way. I miss New Yankee Workshop. There is a newer wood-working series in its place, but the guy who hosts it rubs me the wrong way. Is Hometime still on? ISTR the last few series were less instruction and more Ooh! Shiny! Hometime has always been geared more toward how to be a general contractor and manage projects as opposed to tackle thew work yourself. Recent seasons have really shifted away from DIY and more towards watching while others do the work. -- Kevin M. (RPCV) -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People!

Once when I answered his TV Trivia question, Tom commented that he thought my name was funny. I thought What the F is wrong with my name? Later I realized he was thinking of A-holes in my last name. And I thought, if he thinks that's funny, good on him. Pete A-holes -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People!

I totally agree, and I have to say that I'm disappointed that the character who died in the final scene did so.
