Re: [TV orNotTV] UNI Dumps Trump

Point well taken--but considering that Trump could be considered part of the NBC family between "The Apprentice" and the Miss USA/Universe telecasts, it's pretty likely that Telemundo would pick up the pageants for either the mothership or NBC Universo. Mark Jeffries Saints Spotlight Editor spotli

Re: [TV orNotTV] CC streaming J-Stew from the beginning

In announcing the "Month of Zen" on tonight's show, Jon was quick to say the stream would start with "his first show", so presumably that means Craiggers is being excluded (which makes sense). It's also possible the stream may include the year end/millennium specials On Thursday, June 25,

Re: [TV orNotTV] CC streaming J-Stew from the beginning

If the shows are run with the broadcast amount of commercials - 42 days at 48 episodes a day = 2016 shows.  Wiki puts tonight's episode as #2661.  Accounting for Jon Oliver's guest hosting stint (32) and Craig K's tenure (386), J-Stew has hosted 2243. If the counts are accurate, I suspect the

[TV orNotTV] Re: If 'a la carte' happened today...

I solved the entire dilemma. I cancelled my DirecTV on Monday. I should point out that I live just under 25 miles away from Mount Wilson, from which virtually all broadcast television service -- excluding some LPTVs -- transmits, and I get great reception even though I am using the ancient ant

I believe I have, somewhere, two versions of the General Lee, one the original Ertl die-cast, the other a Johnny Lightning die-cast. I used to have the Hot Wheels not-quite-General Lee when I was a kid, but it has long since vanished. On Thu, Jun 25, 2015 at 2:29 PM, Bob Jersey wrote: > > Warner

Re: [TV orNotTV] So long, Patrick Macnee

This hurts me because, as mentioned in the earlier Diana Rigg thread, I've been enjoying rewatching Avengers episodes lately. Macnee had very little to work with the first few seasons... both the writing and production value were lacking. And much like the early Spider-Man cartoons, they didn't see
