I don't watch this show as often as I should. It's often hilarious. Anyway, I think the 2 hr movie is on Comedy Central tonight at 8 Eastern. Can't say if it's any good, or not. Check out this short clip from the show.

Everyone is picking up on the Alec Baldwin, Jack Cafferty kerfuffle - Goldfarb references Rick Sanchez, pronouncing CNN's team as hit and miss- ouch! But people are missing the real stupid in Baldwin's obviously more emotional, than thoughtful, slash at Cafferty for an old hit and run charge. Unless you're one of the 17 people who watches CNN, Cafferty, and Baldwin's career, you have no idea what the hell he is talking about here:
The material I received from a contingent in Ohio was back in 1996, but Playboy omitted that fact in editing the piece. As for running for office in the future, who knows?
Evidently it's this from USA Today. So these two guys are fighting over something that did or didn't happen back in 1996, but no one knows that except for 17 people and now Cafferty's producer because Playboy, who probably still has no clue when, or why the Tea Party's got started failed to properly reference a quote? There couldn't be any more stupid in one malicious and angry blog entry than there is in this one.
For weeks, everyone's been picking up quotes by Alec Baldwin in the July/August issue of Playboy in which the 30 Rock actor mentioned he would consider running for public office.
Baldwin said, "A law firm in a liberal Democratic bastion in Ohio state politics sent me a binder with a cover letter that read, 'Mr. Baldwin, here's who we represent, the kinds of cases we handle, our credentials in Ohio state politics. We want you to move to Ohio and run for governor. We will launch your career.'"
PopWatch is a little tough on the Sci Fi channel for the name change that takes effect today. Evidently the content isn't changing, so it'll still be a place to find some interesting stuff you won't find elsewhere. At least it isn't switching to a reality TV with Martians format, or something. What, really, is in a name?
Congrachoolayshuns on yore noo nayme, Syfy!
Well, everyone, the day you totally forgot to mark on your calendar is here: The Sci Fi Channel is no more. It's been body-snatched by Syfy. It looks the same. Sounds the same. Does much of the same stuff. Just with a distinct lack of vowels.
We commented on the apparent silliness of the name change back when it was announced, a few months ago. And all of that logic still applies. But time has reduced the level of outrage to the equivalent of a pebble in the sneaker: kind of annoying, but not catastrophic.
Unfortunately, that's probably a nice way of putting it, given the drugs allegedly in his system. No point in pretending otherwise.
LOS ANGELES – Michael Jackson, who was with a cardiologist when he collapsed at his rented home in Los Angeles, appeared to have suffered a heart attack, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press.
The person, who was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity, said Jackson suffered a heart attack, which is a blocking of the arteries that deprives the heart of adequate blood. That can lead to cardiac arrest, an interruption of the normal heartbeat.
Times On Line and elsewhere now.
Don't get me wrong, I liked Farah Fawcett. But now Michael Jackson, too? Don Mclean is going to have to come out of retirement just to write, The Day the Tabloids Died.
Oops, he isn't retired. Well, ...
We've just learned Michael Jackson has died. He was 50.
Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.
A source tells us Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived.
Farrah Fawcett, 62, golden-haired sex symbol of the late 1970s most remembered for her appearance on bedroom posters and the detective series "Charlie's Angels" and who later found a niche portraying troubled women in made-for-television dramas, died today at a hospital in Santa Monica, Calif., of cancer.
Damn. A TV icon and I bet many younger people today, if they know him at all, know him for commericals and not his best work. Marine and fighter pilot instructor, as well. A uniquely American story in many ways. Did car commercials in Phila, I believe.
1938 Began his career as a bingo caller in Maine when he was 15
First broadcasting job was at WLLH-AM in Lowell, MA
Served in the US Marines during WWII; earned wings at Pensacola Naval base and became a fighter pilot instructor
1949 Began his television career as on-air personality in Philadelphia, PA at WCAU-TV
I had heard that AMC was rebroadcasting the original Lonesome Dove TV mini-series over the weekend and I managed to either watch, or record and watch the whole thing. It's been twenty years since I've seen it, never did rent or buy it for some reason.
Wow. What a masterpiece. It's hard to imagine it was done for TV. The cast, characters, plot, even the filming was so first-rate. It blew me away just like it did when first aired.
Simply amazing. It's hard to imagine what this country was like back then - hard living, for sure. People striking out for new territories, new land, new lives. And where else can you go to watch 8 hours of TV with no one complaining about wanting national health care.
Heh.
Meggy really should be filming a mind is a terrible thing to waste commercials. A line from Animal House about no way to go through life comes to mind. I'm just not sure how much she might drink. From now on I'm filing any few Meggy items I might do under Entertainment. She's impossible to take seriously.
I don’t know if Meghan McCain is really that stupid, self-involved, or if her whole media strategy is based on starting fights with people more famous (with good reason, typically) than her, but here we go again with her completely missing the point:
Sometimes I worry about Moe.
