Re: [TV orNotTV] Thursday Night's Wheel Of Fortune

It's been a while since I watched regularly, but what I see when I do watch is that C, D, M, and A are the contestant's choices so frequently and so rarely useful in solving that I assume the puzzle-writers take them into account when creating bonus puzzles. Also impacting the difficulty is the wa

After getting fired by NBC last year, Dan Harmon will return to "Community" to showrun what is expected to be its final season--and get its ass kicked by "Big Bang Theory." Again: http://www.thewrap.com/tv/article/dan-harmon-says-hes-back-community-94861 -- -- TV or Not TV The Smartest

[TV orNotTV] Matt Smith leaving "Who" after Christmas special

There are rumo(u)rs circulating that show runner Steven Moffat had made enemies of several people on the set, including Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman, and that he issued the Beeb an ultamatum that Moffat goes or he goes. If the reports are true, I guess we know which way they decided. http://www.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Matt Smith leaving "Who" after Christmas special

If the discord rumors are true, they remind me of what supposedly happened with Christopher Eccleston/the Ninth Doctor, though that may or may not have involved Moffat's predecessor, Russell Davies. Is it possible that Moffat is overextended?  Even though Sherlock is short, even for a British s

[TV orNotTV] CBS now owns all of TVGuide.com, but NOT of the TVGuide Network.

And I read that wrong. CBS only bought Lionsgate's half of TVGuide.com. TVGN is still a 50/50 joint venture between the two. On Fri, May 31, 2013 at 8:24 PM, Bob in Jersey wrote: > > Wesley (wherever he is) wrote: >> >> A few months ago, CBS bought into the TVGN and TVGuide.com, buying 50% >> fr

Re: [TV orNotTV] Thursday Night's Wheel Of Fortune

I also would be interested at how quickly contestants would come up with their letter choices. It seemed oddly fast. I would think you'd want to take a moment to digest the board after the big six pop up. On Jun 1, 2013, at 10:27 AM, David Lynch wrote: > It's been a while since I watched regul

Re: [TV orNotTV] Matt Smith leaving "Who" after Christmas special

I'll probably open up a can of worms by suggesting this, but if memory serves (and I admit I'm not a large Who fan), the previous Doctors haven't exactly gone onto bigger and better things, have they? I've seen them in some indie flicks here and there, and some other BBC fare, but haven't most of t

Re: [TV orNotTV] Matt Smith leaving "Who" after Christmas special

Smith's two modern predecessors have managed to keep working.  Tennant's been busy in the U.K., and Eccleston went from Who to Heroes, and on to seventh lead in a couple of major motion pictures.  Eccleston won't even be in the 50th Anniversary special, apparently mutually agreeable terms couldn
