It's hard for me to believe that Tig wasn't aware of Merrill Markoe and David Letterman's transcendent explorations of celebrity photos on LNwDL. Natoro has every right to explore the same material, but it's hard to see how she improved Letterman's bits in any way. -- -- TV or Not TV

Virtually everyone I know who has Time-Warner Cable used NY1 as their default station to watch courage. It was easy for us to sacrifice some production values and disconcerting repetition for coverage from reporters who know the city intimately and anchors who were low on hype and high on warmth a

I hope that readers of this forum don't assume that Temple Grandin is a traditional weepie, good-for-you time movie-of-the-week. I have little doubt that if it were released theatrically, Claire Danes would have been the favorite for the Oscar, and she would deserve it. Same with David Straitharn
