CBS All Access is already underway as a pay service.

No one was better at writing and performing pop music with a country feel that appealed to everyone. RIP.

Every time I come home, Lucky leaves the TV on the Game Show Network. I don't know why that bothers me so much, but it does.

So, "Still the Beaver", except Hank isn't dead.

Also, if you want someone to give you a testimonial, it is no longer a good idea to tell them to "blow me".

Historical footnote: Wendie winning $750 on the show in 1975 probably represented three unsuccessful trips to the Winner's Circle (getting all three subjects on the bottom and one on level two would net you $250).

So Dave couldn't follow in the footsteps of his idol Johnny Carson and stay retired. Good!

That they only ask for last names in lists of famous people is a prime example of how the game has been dumbed down.

"Power Players" offers a valuable public service by exposing these TV news types for the dolts they really are.

I find the Teachers Tournament to be the most depressing, since they have to dumb it way down for them. It's just sad.

And just to rub it in, the reruns they show are those lousy tournaments that were hard enough to endure the first time.

Klausner's your favorite guest on your favorite podcast, and this show hasn't been mentioned on said podcast about a million times?

Ah yes, Monster. The undisputed ruler of the used CD bin.

Don't forget the main selling point: one could easily find the Punk-O-Ramas at used CD places for as little as a couple of bucks.

Yes, it's a military phrase. If you're 150 years old.

Let's just hope Orrin Hatch is right that they "shot their wad on health care".

The Strahan version reminds me a bit more of the Cullen nighttime show, which was more relaxed and humorous than the more intense and dramatic Clark version.

Gotta wonder if Sally Field thought her career was over when the earnest contemporary drama Marriage: Year One didn't sell and she wound up in The Girl With Something Extra, which felt like a leftover from 1966.

Even if they do, the far-right/GOP isn't going to reflect and say, "Gosh, we better become more moderate to attract a wider range of supporters". They WILL double-and-triple-down on the direction they're already headed regardless.

Trump or someone like him was coming, if not now, then in 2020. Just a matter of time.
