Schneider's fingers probably got ahead of his brain, and he typed the more frequent "blow for diversity" when he meant "against." Given that the business model of tvguide.com (and HitFix and TVLine) does not allow for copyeditors or proofreaders, you can always assume that when something doesn't m

There was a time not that long ago that I would have jumped at this (about 1/3 the regular price). But now I think, that's about the price of a half a year of Netflix, which would generate so much more actually watched content, and I am reluctant to pull the trigger (though might if I had the right

While I couldn't definitively say that they did appear on the same exact episode, both Craig Ferguson and Rik Mayall regularly appeared on Saturday Live back in the mid- to late-eighties.

A brilliant idea, but in theory wouldn't the network would have to approve this? Then again, we've been saying for probably years around here that channels should shift their main programming to .2 when they have to interrupt it for whatever reason. On Tue, Jun 10, 2014 at 3:07 PM, Joe Coughlin
