Well of course I liked "Frozen" - aside from the fact that I'm totally in the tank for Kristen Bell, it's a wonderful subversion of fairy-tale tropes and... Oh. Bugger. On Saturday, February 1, 2014 2:57:07 AM UTC-5, Kevin M. (RPCV) wrote: > > > > > O

Re: [TV orNotTV] Because damned if they'll appreciate it the classic way

Given budget and time, I'd have aged Keenan up a little to play "Ben Vereen", but since his accident Ben's been a little doughy, so physically it wasn't an awful mismatch. Jay Pharaoh would have been a good match for 1970's "Jesus Christ Superstar"/"Pippin" Vereen. On Sunday, February 2, 2014

Re: [TV orNotTV] Super Bowl

"Today" is still under the news division, yes. And those of us who lived in the New York market in the early-mid 90's remember Matt Lauer as WNBC's journeyman anchor, starting with the 6-7am "Today in NY" shift, moving over to read the news on the "Today" set, then running back up to the 6th fl

[TV orNotTV] Re: ... his next leap, will be the leap to New Orleans

I'm OK with this. I like the Bakula, and given good scripts and the right ensemble, he can make this work. It'll be interesting to see where they place his character on the NCIS spectrum of damaged federal agents... (I also feel like Bakula got an unfair share of the blame for the failure of "

[TV orNotTV] Re: Fox news: Cancelled

I'm torn about this, and not because of the actor or his condition. In general the series started slowly, leaned on too many sitcom tropes to establish the characters, and set up a genuinely hokey concept for why the characters are doing Modern Family-style confessionals. But given time, I fe

Re: [TV orNotTV] Live Olympic Confusion (and Appreciation)

And almost channeling the fictional ACN, NBC's dayside and primetime seem to be in conflict. This morning on "Today", the anchors revealed a result for one of tonight's women's downhill events in an 'athlete to watch' segment - followed immediately by an ad for primetime promoting that very sam

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Hey, wait, who's this on my Olympics? What's he doing here?

I wouldn't read that much into it. Vieira has a new talk show starting in the fall, which NBCU is producing, and she's in Sochi as a "special correspondent", hence the opening ceremony duties. I suspect they went with Lauer initially because they knew he'd deliver, but they didn't want to keep

I'm not so sure this IS a win for Kimmel (or SCG, or Conan, for that matter). Consider what's in NYC aside from "Tonight" and "Late Show": - Late Night - SNL - TDS - Colbert - All three major network morning shows - Kelly & Michael - Major studio operations for all major cable news outlets - SXM

Re: Conan's "Tonight" theme - wasn't it exactly the same as his "Late Night" theme, only rearranged to include more instrumentation (since the Tonight Show Band was bigger than the Max Weinberg Seven)? Remember, he's using different opening title music on his TBS show than he did on "Tonight".

Re: [TV orNotTV] Did Fallon need to introduce himself last night?

I'm presuming that this week of shows will be a little oddball in general because of where the show is airing (12M E instead of 11:35); this presumably this requires some reshuffling of the segment order. I doubt that on a normal night they'd have gone from the first break into the Will Smith
