[TV orNotTV] More Colbert

Colbert's Monday night comedy piece with the Tetris actors that ended with the fire extinguisher (spoiler alert) was a bit more "Dave-like" than I've seen on Colbert. Maybe Dave is pulling a Johnny and phoning in jokes for Colbert to do. :) -Stan -- -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) P

Re: [TV orNotTV] Lucille Ball in prime time

"Heavy lifting" as in the fake concrete slab? They showed a colorized version of the "Lucy Meets Bill Holden" episode last year and I thought the comedy held up nicely, since the focus of the show was about Lucy being an obsessed fan. She even held up a pocket mirror to watch behind her, and if

Re: [TV orNotTV] SortaTV: Questioning national anthem before sports

To separate the issues: The incident at the Padres game involved someone inadvertently cueing up the singer from the previous night (they use a prerecorded version as a backup/background), and no one bothering to stop it. The ballclub apologized, they fired the contractor, we move on. The "let's

I'll venture to guess he's really just building a general rant around a strange incident with "The Star-Spangled Banner" at a recent San Diego Padres game -- where the SD Gay Men's Chorus, who'd sung Mr. Key's lines without incident there in a prior year, were shocked to hear a recording of so

Re: [TV orNotTV] John Belushi docu planned for Showtime

One of my favorite stories ever (which is probably apocryphal, but I hope not) is that, at some point in pre-production, Jim Belushi went on a rampage in the producer's office, utterly trashing the place. When he finished, he told the secretary, "Just tell him I was here." To which the secretar
