There is now a gofundme campaign to raise $5 million to cover the No Leak penalty in employmemt contacts that Burnett had with his employees.I guess there's hope that somebody will take that risk. On Sun, Oct 9, 2016, 11:09 PM PGage wrote: > Have we discussed here the

I suspect that it's less whether someone will risk a Mark Burnett lawsuit (I'm sure there'd be no shortage of people happy to pay the fine), as whether someone actually has access to the rushes. I suspect that NBC only ever took delivery of a finished "tape" of the show, and that after editing

Was that the syndicated version of Pyramid? To the best of my recollection, Pyramid never aired on NBC as part of a network lineup. (I remember it on ABC, but I think the original run was CBS?) NBC did, however have Classic Concentration with Alex Trebeck. -- -- TV or Not TV The

Pyramid aired on CBS, after Superior Court. Classic Concentration was on NBC, like you said after reruns of St Elsewhere. The Original version of Concentration was also on NBC with Hugh Downs. Sometimes he'd have to miss a show so that he could go overseas for Today, so Bob Clayton would slide

Martha Raddatz specifically interjected several times to force Trump to answer on Syria. Other than ringing a loud buzzer or repeating "your time has expired" repeatedly like what happened in the California senate debate, both candidates are going to keep talking past the limit. The debates really

Again, I think the information content in a typical presidential debate is chronically underestimated. Clearly there is a lot of BS - but that is true in every phase of the process. If all an othwise informed US voter knew about these two candidates was what they learned from watching the debates,
