Re: [TV orNotTV] 'X Factor' Has Chyron Problems, Dumps Last Night's Votes

2013-11-07 Thread Bob in Jersey

Joe Hass, to Jim Ellwanger:

 Are we sure it was a Chyron brand character generator in either case?

 Not that I'm expecting them to be paying attention to this mailing list, 
 but that's the kind of thing that garners letters from trademark attorneys 
 -- particularly if the problem was actually another company's inferior 
 product.


 Today's thing I learned: Chyron is a brand name.


And according to CBS Television City's services page under Technical / 
electronic graphics, they are Powered by the Chyron HyperX.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Finke seeking to get out of her contract...

2013-11-06 Thread Bob in Jersey

Kevin M, to moi:

 Can't Finke just join the panel on The View or America's Got Talent so I 
 can ignore her like I ignore the rest of the people on those shows?


For her to suddenly become the onscreen type would be refreshing, but I'd 
think she'd want a position that's guaranteed not to make her look vapid.

Re: [TV orNotTV] FCC considering eliminating sports blackout rules

2013-11-04 Thread Bob in Jersey

JW, to Doug Fields, in part:

  Hmmm.now that I read back over this thread, maybe we *are* talking about 
 two
  different things. I'm specifically talking about the NFL's blackout rule.
  I'm not aware of any rules affecting the broadcast of the home games of 
 any
  of the other major sports.

 The other rule may be the one that allows local rightsholders to demand 
 that other entities be blacked out. For instance, if the Cubs are playing 
 the Pirates, WGN America will often have a slide up (courtesy of the local 
 cable company, I'm sure) saying that FCC rules bar them from showing the 
 game in Pittsburgh.


Title 47 Code of Federal Regulations, section 76.111. Companions are 76.127 
which covers satellited events, and 76.128 further explains the definition 
of territory that may be subject to a blackout.

Re: [TV orNotTV] FCC considering eliminating sports blackout rules

2013-11-04 Thread Bob in Jersey

Joe Hass, to Doug Fields, in part:

 The reasonable question to ask of the acting Chairwoman is whether the 
 Commission is interested in looking at the situation today with these other 
 blackout rules (probably the two most onerous being Fox's Saturday baseball 
 blackout rules and MLB's bizarre home market 
 maphttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/59/MLB_Blackout_Areas.png
  which 
 makes the entire state of Iowa part of the home market of one-fifth of the 
 league and extends home market to distances of 500 miles or more) and 
 whether they are part of the public interest or if they simply decide 
 it's just the free market at work. Hint: if they were really serious, 
 they'd just need to utter two words: antitrust exemption. 


I always preferred this more-detailed, and of course larger, version of the 
map linked above:

http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/519471/20131105/mentalist-6-fire-brimstone-spoilers-watch-online.htm#.UnhzxhCmYlQ

next week (now also pushed back) ?

And did or didn't the segment air in (at least parts of) Canada?

Jon Delfin, in part:

 Here's the new part, at least to me: In the opening credits, Walmart and 
 Procter  Gamble get producing credit.

 Huh?!


One is still allegedly worth billions, a pittance of which could easily be 
thrown into TV production without damage.

The other has been in the telly biz since the Golden Age... multiple soaps, 
the People's Choice Awards, et al.

They co-own Family Movie Night, which has aired on at least three of the

[TV orNotTV] AdTV: Adventures with my mother

2013-10-27 Thread Bob in Jersey

For those who don't remember, Mother Jersey has been mobility-impaired, and 
confined between a bed and wheelchair, since the summer of 2011.
She also suffers from annoying, but not life-threatening, memory losses.

She frequently refers to brand-name, well-advertised OTC medicines by names 
that in no way resemble their actual trademarks, or by other names, once 
used by similar products dating back to the Golden Age of TV, that at best 
have over the years become fringe brands taken over by opportunist 
companies in otherwise-boring cities in, say, Arizona or Texas.

I'm trying to ascertain what real brands these contrived names come from. 
Is there some online compendium of old drug brands?

[TV orNotTV] Re: Parks Rec Feeling Community

2013-10-25 Thread Bob in Jersey

JW, to Brad Beam:

  If the NFL really wanted to change up the Pro Bowl, they could try out 
 the 
  Canadian rulebook. The CFL games I’ve watched almost always finish 
 within 
  their scheduled three-hour block.

 How many TV timeouts are there, and how long are they? That's most likely 
 the difference, not the rulebooks.


At least 10 per half in reg-season games, of one or two minutes per, this 
IHT-via-NY Times piece informed the wiki on them.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Parks Rec Feeling Community

2013-10-25 Thread Bob in Jersey

PGage, to moi:

 If that applies to kicks out of the endzone as well, then about 75% of all 
 NFL games would begin 1-0 these days.

 The NFL is probably very close to doing away with kickoffs all together. 


They tossed it to their competition committee as the 2012 reg. season 
ended... never heard about it since.   B

A New York sportscaster back in the day wished the NFL would adopt the 
CFL's rouge, where a punt or kickoff caught in but not brought out of the 
receivers' end zone scored a point for the kicker's team.

[TV orNotTV] Re: NotTV: Using NSFW

2013-10-24 Thread Bob in Jersey

Joe Hass, to moi:

 Bob's post earlier made me think about the idea of NSFW: namely that 
 simply labeling something NSFW doesn't really make it clear why it's NSFW. 
 For example, the article he linked to would be perfectly fine for my office 
 (an ad agency) because it's only language. Now, if you were to post a link 
 to a nude photo taken of a star who's now suing over it, yeah: I'm going to 
 break out the ol' iPhone and use ATT's bandwidth to read that item.

 I've always felt that NSFW deserves, like the TV rating system, an 
 additional letter after it for why you think it's NSFW: P for photo, L for 
 language, A for auto-playing audio, and V for auto-playing video. So if I 
 were to link to the unedited version of Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines, I'd 
 note NSFW-V

 As with everything related to the Internet, I do not expect this to carry 
 on past me, but I just thought I'd share. Back to finding navigation models.


Great idea, but now that I've seen the referred-to post in GG, I should 
have put the notation next to the link, not in the subject...  B

[TV orNotTV] Cee-Lo legal issues not likely to affect work

2013-10-22 Thread Bob in Jersey
Green pleaded not guilty in LA to allegedly giving Ecstasy to a woman with 
whom he later had an encounter in her hotel. A rape charge was withdrawn by 
the DA. He likely wasn't going to be part of the next *Voice* cycle anyway, 
as Usher and Shakira would come back to relieve him and Xtina.

Andrew Jameson, Green's production-company partner (not his manager despite 
the URL), told TheWrap he doesn't expect any complications, and Mark 
Burnett promised TMZ Green won't be fired. His next projects are a reunion 
album with his former hiphop group Goodie Mob, and an associated reality 
show on TBS (must be very funny).

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: It's 1, 2, 3 strikes you're... moved?

2013-10-18 Thread Bob in Jersey

PGage, to Adam Bowie:

 I have always assumed that in the US, making baseball (and by analogy 
 football and basketball and some others) easily accessible to as much of 
 the public as possible is part of the public service the networks owe the 
 people in exchange for their use of the public airwaves to make tons of 
 money. That model has basically broken down here in practice - but is there 
 a similar understanding in the UK - at least in history?


While some degree of sports may have been considered part of what was 
basically in the public interest back in the pre-satellite years, there's 
never been any mention of them in the applicable regulations... they talk 
about things like promoting diversity, but things like sports events are 
left to the discretion of the license holders...

[TV orNotTV] Lonesome Rhodes Beck vs Bob Costas

2013-10-15 Thread Bob in Jersey
Have any more native-American groups in dispute with the Wa(r)shington NFL 
team actually gone to a US court to order its ownership group and the NFL 
to change the team name immediately? (That is, since the 2009 decision by 
the Supremeshttp://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Justice/2009/1116/p02s07-usju.html
.)

Until and unless such an order is made, the following is just two schmucks 
fighting with each other: Bobbo in his usual comment spot during the SNF 
game sided with people whom, the last time I looked, probably can't afford 
to buy the damned team out from under Dan Snyder (not that I hold him in 
anything resembling high regard either), and Beck calls him sanctimonious, 
senile, arrogant, etc.

It's a frickin' war on private industry... something some on the right 
believe someone else in Wa(r)shington is waging...

[TV orNotTV] Slightly diff. look at shows' chances for cancel/renew

2013-10-14 Thread Bob in Jersey
It's still at TVBtN, maybe even the same location, but it's not what they 
expect to happen if the season ended now, it's what they're expecting over 
the actual season between now and May. Still, a decent pile of shows would 
still get the Ziggy in their opinion...

[TV orNotTV] Remington Steele: TNG

2013-10-13 Thread Bob in Jersey
Jay Scherick and David Ronn (the recent Smurfs theatrical) will write and 
Ruben Fleischer (the recent Sean Penn flick Gangster Squad) will direct 
an NBC pilot about the daughter of Steele and Laura Holt, who many years 
later reopens their detec-a-tive agency, to reportedly hilarious/romantic 
results. Fleischer apparently brought it from original property owner Fox, 
where he's in a two-year development deal.

Added gratuitous video of the original at

Re: [TV orNotTV] Shedload of early Dr Who episodes found

2013-10-13 Thread Bob in Jersey

Well, *something* was found... in Nigeria, per this Deadline piece... and 
iTunes is already carrying several segments... a trailer for *The Web of 
Fear*, with Doc #2 and a young Lethbridge-Stewart, at:

http://www.deadline.com/2013/10/bbc-re-masters-missing-1960s-doctor-who-episodes-recently-found-in-nigeria-video/

The Beeb's reports said that only *Web* and *Enemy of the World*, another 
Troughton story, were reconstituted as a result of the find... but the 
discovery, a couple of samples of which were shown to an invited crowd 
Friday, impressed ex-companions Frazer Hines and Deborah Watling, who each 
appeared in one of the stories...

Warren Leight: We have 15 minutes of him ribbing everyone.

Writer Jacqueline Cutler: While all of that can't be used on the one-hour 
drama, Leight says the network will figure out a way to post what does not 
get on the air.

Bet you have to join Hulu Plus to see it?
