Comcast is not the sole provider in the area. My Verizon service has held
steady, though FiOS internet throughput is down (perhaps because of increased

I've already seen a heavy rotation of Parenthood and The Marriage Ref promos
(while I don't watch much NBC, I'm frequently watching USA).
I still think The Marriage Ref is awful, though the emcee appears to be the
best thing about this and will do his damnedest to save this piece of crap.
I am not sure what the trend of the last three weeks means for Leno's
Ratings when he gets back behind his Tonight Show Desk. It might suggest
that all but hard core Lenistos are giving up on him, or it might just mean
that those who like but don't love Leno have decided to do other things
(I can't imagine I will much like Blind Side, but I loved Basterds
- too bad) (I am going to have to get drunk before seeing
Precious and The Blind Side - luckily I think the latter will qualify as a

Yeah, my neighbors who have FiOS have been encouraged to invite their
Comcast neighbors over for tonight's game. BTW, I can now get CBS over
the air on my little TV and I can get Fox on it on the other side of the

Well, it was true that I had essentially no way to contact Comcast when
the cable went out -- because I have a pay-as-you- go cell phone and I
didn't want to waste an unknown number of minutes on hold. BTW, not
that it really makes any difference, but I have Vonage and not Comcast

While I'm not sure Dave would have done this if it were basically the same spot
and NBC had the Super Bowl, I agree with Steve. It's a spot for Dave's show,
not The Tonight Show.
The stage show's kind of meh, but The Who are playing pretty well.

It probably explains a lack of comment from Dave on the Oprah-Leno interview.
