[TV orNotTV] Re: Jack and Triumph publicity tour

Having seen the segment last night, I'll give Questlove a lot of credit - he's a good sport. And actually, the appearance was pretty tame by Triumph standards. (Although poor Colin Firth didn't know what the hell was going on during the game of Catchphrase.) I think Triumph may have actually

Are there numbers to support the claim that CBS All Access is gaining traction? Of the 4 broadcast nets, they're the only ones that don't offer free access to their app w/cableco authentication. I don't know a single person who is (or would) pay just to access SOME CBS shows. On Wednesday, Ma

My reaction at the top of the show was "what in the blue hell are they doing?" And that was pretty much my reaction at the end of the hour. My assumption was that, much like Conan's 'fire at 30Rock' shows that caused the show to be booted from their studio (relocating first to Rockefeller Cent
