Three new hires for TDS.  I only recognized one of them, Roy Wood, Jr.  But that's been the case for me with pretty much every other correspondent. http://splitsider.com/2015/09/the-daily-show-adds-ronny-chieng-roy-wood-jr-and-desi-lydic-as-correspondents/ David -- -- TV or Not TV The Sma

Preston Beckman, two-time scheduling chief (NBC 1991-2000, Fox '00-'12) and later strategist at Fox, retired the other week after having been in the biz since 1980... in a THR (link) piece, he talks *Friends*,

[TV orNotTV] Quick Review: Moonbeam City

Bush v2.1 decided to launch a fundraiser on his campaign site (Motto: "No, seriously, they got the bugs out of this version!"). For a $3 donation, you can win VIP tickets to Bush's appearance on The Late Show Featuring Stephen Colbert. You know, the first show. However, no one bothered to actually

Anyone remember "Lucy," the 2003 CBS telemovie starring Rachel York as Ms. Ball, with Danny Pino (just before he started on "Cold Case") as Mr. Arnaz? Didn't think so. Though I'm reminded of it whenever I see Ms. York onstage and it's mentioned in her Playbill bio. -Tim On Thursday, Septem

Much more versatile on film than his nearly-all-comedy work at Disney ("Love Bug", "Shaggy D.A."), he also went on to form what's now the Christian Rescue Fund, helping those of said faith overseas escape from danger... I don't remember Bruce (*Evil Dead*, Sam Axe) Campbell in a remake of the
