We watched it come down about 100 feet directly in front of us. One minute 
there was tension in the rope, the next minute it was whipping around. We saw 
it come down way before NASCAR or Fox figured out what had happened. 

It came down on both ends of the front stretch. A few geniuses caught the thing 
as it was coming their way. Not sure if they were some of the ten people sent 
to the trackside medical center. 

There's some unedited phone cam video here:

 Right - though I try to remind myself that with the Olympics we are not
 really dealing with NBC Sports per se, since they are trying to make their
 money back from so many non-sports fans. But it it were Fox making a mess
 of the Olympics we would at least be able to say: What do you expect,
 the're Fox Sports?

I still miss NBC's baseball coverage. (Of course, there's no way of
telling what it would have become by now.)

[TV orNotTV] Re: So long, Ed Shaughnessy

2013-05-27 Thread donz5
I posted this in fb/afl:

A few years ago Anton [Fig] asked me to determine precisely when he'd
become the longest-running drummer in late-night history. I spent a
number of sleepless nights researching Ed's time as permanent member
of the Tonight Show band and was able to pinpoint his tenure to within
two weeks. That way I could then figure out approximately when Anton
would match and then surpass Ed's (mid-December 2009).

In the course of that research I learned that Ed had become the
permanent drummer of the TS band in 1967. Most of his obits and
profiles have him claiming to have gotten the position in 1963, but
that was Bobby Rosengarden's chair until he left the TS band in '67.
Ed had subbed for Bobby many times, perhaps as early as '63 (the two
of them even played together at a TS gig at Shea Stadium in 1966), but
his claim of being the permanent drummer that year is myth.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Mike Darnell leaves Fox

2013-05-27 Thread Mark Jeffries
And as much as he can try to take credit for Idol, it's still understood
that Darnell turned it down the first time and only took it because Rupert
himself demanded that they take it (under advisement from daughter
Elisabeth, who as long as 21st Century Fox owns a piece of Shine makes her
the likely successor if they keep it in the family).

And personally, Fox's unscripted lately hasn't had much of the Darnell
flair--I would say that only the new Does Someone Have to Go? (original
title--Toxic Office) and last year's dating show mock of The Voice The
Choice are the only entries that scream Darnell.

 I think Darnell became obsolete at Fox. Unscripted TV on cable pushes the
 envelope far more than anything he can try to get away with at Fox. So he
 can open a production company and sell tawdry shows to cable channels or he
 could stay at Fox and try to catch up with both arms tied behind his back.
