Re: [TV orNotTV] Coal-industry biggie sues Oliver for defamation

"Upstairs Downstairs" on "Masterpiece Theatre" and "Doctor in the House"
(my intro to Britcoms), although for the latter the logo was different than
what Adam posted.

(And "No Honestly" and "Agony" on our PBS station in Chicago at various
times--"Doctor" was on commercial stations in the U.S. syndicated by
Westinghouse Broadcasting for the prime access time slot that they
convinced the FCC to adopt, back in those first years before everyone
discovered that the only low-budget programming that would work in that
time slot were nature shows and game shows.)

 Judge dismisses coal company suit against HBO's John Oliver

 MOUNDSVILLE, W.Va. (AP) - A West Virginia judge has dismissed a lawsuit
 brought by coal company Murray Energy against HBO host John Oliver.
 A segment of Oliver's Sunday show "Last Week Tonight" in June poked fun
 at Murray Energy CEO Robert Murray, who blames regulatory efforts by the
 Obama administration for damaging the coal industry. Oliver said the
 77-year-old looked like a "geriatric Dr. Evil."
 A Circuit Court judge in Marshall County, West Virginia, ruled on
 Wednesday that Murray's company failed to state a claim. The two-page
 ruling from Senior Judge Jeffrey Cramer was posted online by The Hollywood
 Reporter.
 The Ohio-based company was seeking financial damages and a court order
 barring rebroadcasts of the segment's "defamatory statements."
 HBO had argued the show didn't violate Murray Energy's rights or those
 of Murray.

I would think that Colbert would be better synergy, being that COM's his
former home and all.
