Not trailers. Not even teasers. Those are stings. Any real trailers (other 
than the one that was stonewalled after debuting at ComicCon) have yet to 
air. They are on the way though.

Shameful derailing: the only reason I even know of that program is from the
episode of Night Court where a couple is brought in front of Harry, only to
be bailed out by Brandon Tartikoff because they were a Nielsen family.
After Harry adjudicates the case:

Tartikoff (to couple): Okay. It's time to go home and watch 'The Misfits
Of Science'.
Christine (quizzically): Isn't that show cancelled?
Tartikoff: (pause) I knew that.

funny about this, and generally have responded with blank stares when
people try to make a joke about it because of not just the reasons noted
above (and the fact I have a friend who is now on furlough with State), but
because the underlying issue is too serious and underdiscussed to earn
the right to make a joke (which, interestingly, is the same reason I
generally didn't laugh when people talk about the sequester not making a
difference or when people making global warming weather jokes when it gets
cold/hot). It's not that you *can't* make jokes about it: they just better
be about the underlying problem/issue and not a gross oversimplification.

(Yes, I'm aware I'm explaining humor, which kills it. Sorry 'bout that.)

[TV orNotTV] Oprah to Put Chi Studios on Block?

2013-10-02 Thread Mark Jeffries
Winfrey moved out of home station WLS and into the former Niles Studios in 
the West Loop, home mostly of commercials and industrials (and Marlin 
Perkins' intros and transitions--Like animal mothers take care of their 
babies, your financial future will be taken care of by Mutual of Omaha--on 
Wild Kingdom), in 1988--when her show ended in 2011 and she started OWN, 
Rosie O'Donnell's short-lived talk show for that chanel came out of the 
facility and it's been mostly idle since then, although some production 
work is done on OWN shows from the facility (and Oprah now lives in 
LA)--she's now looking at either selling some of the property or a 
refinancing:

http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-1002-oprah-harpo-20131002,0,7904491.story?utm_campaign=linkbox_overrideutm_source=chicagotribuneutm_content=url

Seems to me that if Oprah wanted to keep the studio running, she should've 
beared down on one of the OTA syndicated shows she partially owns (Dr. 
Phil, Rachael Ray, Dr. Oz) to move to Chicago and Harpo rather than take a 
chance on something for the cable channel.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Brits mixed on X Factor tweaking...

2013-10-02 Thread Mark Jeffries
Last week, Simon did state to the camera that there would be no boot camp
on the U.S. version and it was emphasized that the Four-Chair Challenge,
as they're calling it, would replace it--however, it looks like the U.S.
version has already taped this round, unlike the UK, so it's already
happened.  And I'm sure that if someone was pissed off, it would've made
Reality Blurred or another blog by now.

 A new addition from the show's Dutch version allows for last-minute

 blood sport... some have even griped to Ofcom about it... and *it's
 coming to America!!*

 Meanwhile, Simon sez he couldn't give a sh!t about the stateside
 edition's Emmy snub...

[TV orNotTV] NotTV, but...: Casey Kasem's family feud

2013-10-02 Thread Bob in Jersey
It was a hot topic last night on ABC7 LA... Jeannie, the 
ex-king-of-the-countdowns' wife, is apparently keeping him locked up in 
their (apparently still not-yet-sold) mansion, while he suffers from 
advanced Parkinson's, away from his protesting kids, brother, and friends 
(his original AT-40 partner Don Bustany was among them, I finally could 
tell from TMZ... I religiously listen to his recycled surveys thx to 
several streaming stations)

[TV orNotTV] Olbermann's first substitute

2013-10-02 Thread David Bruggeman
  
If you ever complained about Keith making his show all about him, you can see 
Larry King do him at least one better this week.

I
 think it was the right call to drop most of the highlights in favor of 
more guests.  It's the closest thing Larry has to a wheelhouse.  But 
early in his second night the self-references are getting old.

David
