Suddenly, Pamela "Is the Camera Still On, Tommy?" Anderson making her B'way debut as Roxie Hart in "Chicago" doesn't seem so ludicrous anymore.

I read this a few hours after seeing a self-appointed expert bloviating about Biden's poll numbers, with one  bullshit statistic about "empathy":

That so many influential people like this cry blood tears over alleged lack of "empathy" for the TV cameras while not giving a damn about Afghan refugees being neglected is just one of many reasons I have basically given up on this country.

I've placed on hold at my library a copy of "Football for a Buck," by Jeff Pearlman.  Apparently, Donald Trump fucked up the USFL, too.  #everythingtrumptouchesdies

Putting this video here as, let's face it, his videos are mainly very political. Seems CBS Sunday Morning interviewed Randy Rainbow earlier this month! And i was surprised to learn - as I'm sure others were - that his name really is Randy Rainbow, since birth!

Great interview. Enjoy!

More on the race for OH-11. Shontel Brown is blanketing the airwaves with ads. This is the one running on TV right now.

She stays laser focused on the district. Her mention of the bridge on MLK is a pain point that is front and center for east side commuters.

See also: the mention of lead pipes. That's a priority in this district.

It's a perfect example of how "all politics is local."

You know what?  I like that ad!  It's not bogged down with all the distracting crap that the GOP keeps forcing Democrats to respond to.  It's short, it's sweet, and it gets to the heart of what her constituents obviously care about most.

The article mentions the Haitian issue in 1990-91 which is shocking since a lot of this stuff they love to sugar coat.  I'm old enough to remember it and how appalling it was they did this.  But news stories that are not favorable to those in power buried or justified.

Even more-so that it’s the NYT doing the reporting but every now and then they do some well written articles.


 

This man needs to lose everything he owns. People who have done far less egregious than him have lost everything, while he’s still here trying to run endgame on his victims.

      I wasn't expecting this. Leslie was the first character I saw on GH when I started watching.

      Thanks @Paul Raven . I love that she even drew up a petition. A shame she didn't get to finish out that storyline, although it seemed to become a mess anyway.

      It's funny to think one of the only later mentions of Justin/Sarah was in The Guiding Plight. They had some decent chemistry in the 1976 episode put out on DVD.

      Very. They're building up his story again and picking the perfect time to do so. As the SilkPress storyline climaxes and go off in several great directions, they are building up that story to take a turn.

      Primetime ratings from the 70's

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      @Soapsuds Thanks for posting Night by night Mon 8pm The Rookies edged Gunsmoke but attracted younger(more desirable) viewers.NBC failed with Born Free/Smothers Brothers (how many different series did those 2 get??) 9-11pm  Maude/Rhoda/Medical Center dominated on CBS,but Football and Movies were competitive on an occasional basis. ABC tried  SWAT/Caribe later in the season and the former worked for them. Tues 8-11 pm CBS all the way Good Times, MASH, Hawaii Five O,Barnaby Jones. NBC had the fading Adam 12,Movie and Police Story mmm...don't see that listed? ABC Happy Days, which ABC decided to keep despite lackluster ratings, the Movie of the Week and Marcus Welby-once pulling big numbers but no longer. 8pm NBC had a new hit with Little House, easily beating Sons and Daughters, which was axed and replaced with Tony Orlando, which did much better. ABC had That's My Mama and the Wed movie. 9pm Cannon was the lead here as Lucas Tanner failed to capitalize on the LHOTP leadin. ABC continued the movie. 10pm Manhunter started strong for CBS but petered out and was cancelled. Petrocelli manged to beat Get Christie Love, which was replaced by Baretta-no ratings winner but ABC decided to renew. Thurs Another CBS night with The Waltons and a movie. ABC counterprogrammed with Odd Couple/Paper Moon then Barney Miller/Karen NBC did even worse with Sierra and replaced it with Mac Davis which improved ratings quite a bit. However, it was moved to 9pm for Sunshine/Bob Crane 9pm Some good numbers for ABC with Streets of San Francisco fending off Ironside,Archer and Mac Davis. 10pm Harry O had a slim victory over Movin On Fri 8-11 NBCs best night Sanford/Chico/Rockford/Police Woman. 8pm CBS had high hopes for Planet of the Apes but it bombed. Replacement Khan did even worse. Paul Sand and We'll Get By were tossed in at the end of the season. With poor lead ins the Friday movie didn't deliver. ABC's odd line up saw Kodiak flop, Six Million dollar Man struggle and Texas Wheelers  quickly cancelled. Kung Fu was brought in @8 and Six Million moved to 9. Then Kolchak took over at 8 and Hot*l Baltimore/Odd Couple 9-10. Despite controversy Hot*l flopped. 10pm ABC tried Kolchak then Baretta and finally Get Christie Love Sat CBS lead  with #1 AITF then Paul Sand/MTM/Bob Newhart/Carol Burnett. Paul Sand lost too much of the lead in so CBS spun off The Jeffersons and it was a smash. NBC did OK with Emergency (which beat Paul Sand on occasion, thus hastening that show's demise) and a movie. ABC was a disaster with New Land/Kung Fu and Nakia all failing. They introduced a movie @9 and moved Kung Fu to 8. Sun  NBC  with Disney and Mystery Movie (Columbo McCloud, MacMillan and Wife/Amy Prentiss)did well. ABC flopped with Sonny Bono and recovered by moving Six Million Dollar Man from Fri as a lead in to the movie. CBS hoped Apples Way would be another Waltons but no, so Cher did what Sonny couldn't. Kojak and Mannix successfully finished out the night. Two other shows on the ratings list were Adams of Eagle Lake starring Andy Griffith. Only 2 episodes aired and did well, so I'm not sure what happened there. As for The Law it was a series follow up to a 2 and a half hour NBC special movie .

      Trust is very easily lost and very hard to re-build.
