It's just now being reported by Sports Illustrated (link) that, during this past year's playoffs, the sports division brass called the longtime sideline reporter, whom they initially proposed be taken

[TV orNotTV] Quick review: The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (no spoilers)

Thank God NBC passed on “The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” and we got a full 13-episode order from Netflix. The show is too good and too smart to attract an audience on NBC and it would have been shelved after three or four episodes to make way for “Dateline: Peoria.” NBC’s strategy apparently is to s

[TV orNotTV] RIP Sam Simon

Simon has been a huge influence on everything Simpsons-related. His Twitter feed has been, for me, a main reason to have an account on the social media network. His very public battles with illness were inspiring, as was his social activism which he continued to do regardless of his physical condit

Aha. The niceties of Go v Now escaped me. I assume that Apple has paid HBO handsomely for the exclusive during Game of Thrones' first-run period! On 9 Mar 2015 18:20, "Tom Wolper" wrote: > On Mon, Mar 9, 2015 at 1:50 PM, Adam Bowie wrote: > >> Well it looks like HBO Go will be $14.99 a month ac

Correction, it's HBO Now. HBO Go is the existing product offered with cable/satellite HBO subscriptions. On Mon, Mar 9, 2015 at 1:50 PM, Adam Bowie wrote: > Well it looks like HBO Go will be $14.99 a month according to the Apple > launch thing happening at the moment: > http://live.theverge.com/

Well there are lies, damned lies, etc. So who knows what particular measure of what particular demographic she might be talking about. And I do think that she was regarded well at ITV News. But that line did jar with me. On Mon, Mar 9, 2015 at 5:34 PM, PGage wrote: > On Mon, Mar 9, 2015 at 9:44

Re: [TV orNotTV] Big NY Magazine article on NBC News

I don't disagree with you in principle, though the quotes you supply are not meaningless because they are blind, but because they are, for the most part, meaningless. The main problem with a story based on anonymous quotes is that it allows people to air their gripes to add their own spin to a stor
