Re: [TV orNotTV] Another reason to like Louis CK
I sprung for it. I was absolutely flabbergasted and stunned and amazed. It is a whirlwind 32 minutes, which, despite knowing the backstory, is worth listening to. You can tell from the tone in her voice that she's unsure about what she's doing even while she's doing it. The payoff comes from an anonymous man about 22 minutes in (you'll know exactly what moment I'm talking about when you hear it). Louis C.K. was right. This is comedy at its finest. Spend the $5. You won't be disappointed.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Perception: Justin Bieber at the Grey Cup edition
It's no particular secret that some networks do on-the-fly sweetening on sports events to make the crowd sound bigger, just like awards shows and reality comp talent shows do on-the-fly sweetening--although I suspect that the Canadians don't do it.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Perception: Justin Bieber at the Grey Cup edition
Fox had it. Because both traditional Thanksgiving home teams are in NFC markets, one of the games is always an interconference game so CBS has a game to televise. They alternate who has the AFC team each year.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Doogie Zucker to CNN?
CNN: a dick clark production
Makes sense to me
On Tuesday, November 27, 2012, Mark Jeffries wrote:
The man who ran NBC into the toilet, who currently is producing Katie
Couric's not-doing-as-well-as-it-should-be syndicated talk show, is

http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-jeff-zucker-cnn-20121127,0,3937840.story
The other prime candidate is Mark Shapiro, who ran ESPN into the
credibility toilet (if not profits) and is currently CEO of dick clark
productions--his lack of hard news experience may be a factor.
Of course, if Zucker is the man, he will be hated by both the far right
for being a former NBC employee now at the channel that has been the long
time target of hatred by the right, and the far left, who are convinced
that CNN has become Fox Lite and will probably think that he'll keep things
status quo.

It was neigh impossible to pick it up on the broadcast I remember an Orange Bowl (in 2004, I think) which had Ashlee Simpson doing a halftime performance. This was a week or two after her SNL lip-sync incident and she was booed throughout her appearance in a way the broadcast could not hide. It was fascinating to watch with the announcers ignoring the booing. TSN would have to anticipate the booing in order to cover it up on the fly and as Bieber is possibly the most popular recording act right now they had no reason to anticipate it. It's also possible that some non-Bieleber(s) tweeted that they booed him and that everybody booed him but they were drowned out. -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People!
