Diner, to moi: Stephen Colbert's flavor is delicious. Jimmy Fallon's flavor tastes good but is WAY too salty, due to the pretzel pieces throughout. You shouldn't finish a dish of ice cream and think I need a Coke right now. They're potato chips, which could explain the saltyness... but they're 3-frickin-79 at Wegman'shttp://www.wegmans.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1storeId=10052catalogId=10002productId=724323in the Nazareth Road. *Oy vey.* -- BOB -- -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People!

[TV orNotTV] TV Everywhere Not Catching On
The idea of being able to watch content on any computer by validating your subscription is barely catching on. Only 30% of pay TV customers surveyed use that type of service to watch it. The biggest barrier: the validation process (you know: when you have to remember a user name/account number/password you never received/used), which stops 70%. Add to that geolocation issues (you can't even get to HBO GO if you're outside the US), and once again we wonder why things are drying up over in cable land. http://www.emarketer.com/Article/Will-TV-Everywhere-Satisfy-Streaming-Savvy-Consumers/1009633 -- -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People!

[TV orNotTV] Re: 30 Rock to get its own Ben Jerry's flavor
I'm assuming someone has already thought of and dismissed all variations of Liz Lemon Party. My guess is something related to Muffintop (Jenna's 'hit' song from season 1 or 2) or - really going for the novelty aspect - a flavor somehow evocative of Sabor de Soledad. Oh, or they could just pull from canon and really make Tracy Jordan's BJ flavor, Adultaraisin.

[TV orNotTV] Re: NBC considers merging local sidechannels into single network
There's a reason for the Nelsons being fuzzy; Cozi fills some program slots with public domain programming (they also have copies of the ten existing kinescopes of the early Burns and Allen shows that had been done live, before George and Gracie went to pre-filming in season three); those are the slots that affiliates can pre-empt for their own programming. My recollection is that they also have the 1953 syndicated Sherlock Holmes, several Red Skelton Shows, and the Beverly Hillbillies episodes that fell into PD. The Ozzie Harriet and Beverly Hillbillies PD episodes also run on RTV and IIRC Burns Allen PD eps also run on the LPTV network America One.

The poor picture quality on The Red Skelton Show didn't bother me - I expect 1950s variety shows to look grainy, having seen my share of Jackie Gleason episodes. But I really noticed bad quality on Ozzie and Harriet, Beverly Hillbillies, and a 1940s Jimmy Durante movie. -Tim -- -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People!
