Steve Harvey has a day time talk show that is starting soon (I think this week).
I know that is not news - what is news is that I know this. I didn't know until it was mentioned during the coming out story that Anderson Cooper had a daytime talk show, I have to keep getting reminded that Oprah and Regis no longer do, and aside from Ellen I could not name any other talk show host in the day time (well, I know that Whoopie and Barbra Walters have a show with three other horrible women, and there are two or three clones with I have no idea who, and I remember a couple of years ago I accidentally watched like 15 minutes of what may have been the single worst talk show in the history of the tube, with the wife of George Stephonopolis). The reason I know about the Harvey show is not that I am planning on watching it (I am certain that I will not). The reason I know is that they have been pimping it relentlessly during the On Demand menu on Comcast. When I first switched to cable last year I was very irritated with this constant gabbing while I navigated to whatever I was looking for (which can take a while sometimes); now I still don't like it, but I have come to terms with it, though I have learned to at times mute the sound. But this seems to have been an effective mode of advertising, getting messages through to me that I work pretty hard to block. Can we expect to start seeing use of this avenue to advertise consumer products, and maybe political candidates, in the future, or is there some rule that would prevent that? -- TV or Not TV ....
