Considering that Shales blogs on Roger Ebert's space, it may be Ebert or his Chicago Sun-Times editor Jim Emerson who may be keeping your post off (the Sun-Times runs Ebert's web site, since the paper is still his home and he is the only real star left at the Sun-Times). Mark Jeffries Saints Spotl

I posted a comment on the blog, voicing my disagreement with Shales' praise of the current incarnation of Nightline as a dramatic alternative to the other late night shows in one paragraph, then highlighting that Tuesday night's installment was jam-packed with celebrity interviews in the next parag

Re: [TV orNotTV] "Leno a Sell Out": Jimmy Kimmel

Just when I thought he couldn't get crankier.  At certain points he makes George Will out to be young and hip.  And Fallon's show is head-and-shoulders above Kimmel's?  Fallon is my preferred late night Jimmy, but I smell Shales' SNL biases. > > From: Kevin M.

Re: [TV orNotTV] America Held Hostage: Day 12,118

IIRC, Letterman has two station breaks built in - usually after the second act (Dave's desk bit and/or Top 10) and before the musical guest, where Alan billboards the next show's guests. On Wednesday, January 9, 2013 8:49:01 AM UTC-5, Jon Delfin wrote: > > Same as Letterman, no? The ad breaks in

How about Dr. Drew who sells the woo? So insidious because 80% or so of his stuff is right on, but then he throws in 20% of wrong, and potentially dangerous, crap to sell something. -- David Risner On Tue, Jan 8, 2013 at 8:01 PM, Kevin M. wrote: > > > On Tue, Jan 8, 2013 at 7:59 PM, PGage wrot
