This show was actually terrific. I hope it keeps on keepin’ on.

When I read “exclusively for CBS video on-demand and streaming service,” I translate that to “we’re not going to invest the time, energy or money to make it worthy of a broadcast TV slot.”

Ahh, I love Boston in the fall! The leaves. The crisp breeze. The scent of wood-burning stoves in the air. And of course, the IT and finance-department perverts with their cameras. So charming!

I think he has valid points, but I - like most people, I suspect - aren’t really willing to watch a lot of the content on YouTube (or the Web for that matter) if it comes with advertising or a price tag.

A little trivia: Among the dead at Heaven’s Gate was Thomas Nichols, Nichelle Nichols’ brother.

Pretty sure if this was posted verbatim on fox.com or written by a known conservative we’d be all up in arms about it.
