In the sister post, they note that the *newest* song in the top 10 is from 1987 (though they don't release the full top 10). This just validates what xkcd noted last year: Every year, American culture embarks on a massive project to carefully recreate the Christmases of Baby Boomers' childhoods.

The Wrap reports that the telethon won't be on the other OTA networks basically because CBS and ABC didn't want to disrupt their season premieres tonight (NBC is pre-empting a Revolution rerun) and Fox wanted to run Chef Ramsay screaming instead:

I know many here are not huge political fans, but I am interested if there is a consensus as to the best TV coverage for election night. The truth is I have not been watching a lot of network/CNN news coverage over the last year. I am going to take Fox News and MSNBC off the table (and I will

I'm sure that having Matt Lauer host the broadcast (and Brian Williams and Jimmy Fallon aboard) had absolutely nothing to do with the other OTAs' decision. On Fri, Nov 2, 2012 at 4:54 PM, Mark Jeffries spotligh...@gmail.com wrote: The Wrap reports that the telethon won't be on the other OTA

NBC has the best election music and a quality bench of players, although some of them, like Norah O'Donnell, have migrated over to CBS. Brian Williams keeps it down the middle. CBS may be to elections today what ABC was a decade or two ago, with more gravitas in their reporters and on their panel.

The card that appeared at the end of Big Bang about the election had the F bomb covered up before CBS' Program Practices could see it, but what Lorre may have forgotten is that he took a shot at The Bachelor in his card--Chuck, the same studio that owns your shows owns The Bachelor--you better
