[TV orNotTV] SortaNoTV: Radio Dramatist Corwin Dies at 101
One of the few genuine dramatic artists in the overrated (except for some comedians) "Golden Age of Radio," Corwin wrote and produced over 100 programs, mostly in the 40s, many of which would be more celebrated today if television hadn't come along and if network radio hadn't resisted repeat broadcasts (to make the musicians' union happy)--the fact that he did one-shot programs instead of formula series didn't help either, when in the nostalgia rush of the 60s his work became forgotten for more familiar hackwork like "The Shadow"--he did win an Emmy, according to Zap2It, but the primetime awards database doesn't confirm it and there is no similar database for the other Emmys: http://blog.zap2it.com/pop2it/2011/10/norman-corwin-writer-of-more-than-100-radio-plays-dead-at-101.html And I realize that future generations will find that we glorified our crappy television while burying the good stuff, as well. -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People!

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Risque humor on "2 Broke Girls?" (spoiler alert, I guess)
A while ago, someone noticed that every episode thus far featured a rape joke. Reviewing the series, he was right. I think I might start tallying them.

The experiment that was designed to fail has failed even before the experiment could be performed. http://gawker.com/5849224/the-60-on-demand-movie-has-been-canceled Do to pushback by theatre owners, Universal will not try (and fail) to sell for $60 the privilege of seeing Tower Heist within the same month as it premieres in theatres at around $15 a ticket. -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People!

[TV orNotTV] Re: Half-OT: Changing hardware again
I have one of these: http://www.meritline.com/kingwin-sataide-to-usb-adapter-for-25-and-35-drive-model-usi-2535---p-50793.aspx It's useful for moving files off old hard drives, because it will allow pretty much any hard drive from the 1990s to the present to be temporarily connected to a machine via USB with its own drive letter. >From there, you use Windows Explorer to copy files onto your machine's permanent hard drive. And the price is right ($19.95 including shipping). What it does not do is make an old drive into a semi-permanent portable drive; if you want to keep the old drive as a backup, you need to properly protect same from physical damage.
