Re: Brian Williams leaving MSNBC

He is a funny guy, and I think he would make a decent late night host. Corden and Kimmel are stepping down soon. In the book, The War For Late Night by Bill Carter, this was mentioned. NBC gave consideration to giving Brian Williams the Late Night program when Conan was taking over The Tonight Show.

Re: UCLA & USC to join Big Ten by 2024

What if the BIG 10 championship game was USC vs. UCLA? With the game being played in Indianapolis. Damn, that's something I never considered! :shock: They'd most likely be in the same division, but still.... I could see them moving the game around a bit more. The Big 10 did a couple of their basket...

To be accurate Arizona State is in the Phoenix market (Tempe) and Arizona is down in Tucson
Duly noted.

Re: UCLA & USC to join Big Ten by 2024

If they pick 4 more of the PAC-12, I see Cal, Stanford (the SF Bay Area market), Oregon, and Washington. The Arizona's, Utah, and Colorado fit with the Big-12. The Buffs were a Big 12 school for years. Oregon State and Wash St to the MWC. ND will protect their TV rights. I feel like Arizona could s...

Re: UCLA & USC to join Big Ten by 2024

This completely guts rivalries on the west coast and Midwest. Every game is a bowl game now. What disgusting greed. Why even watch bowl games in December and January? They don’t mean shit now. As a kid, New Year’s Day was wall-to-wall football viewing. Citrus Bowl, Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Fiesta Bow...

Re: Kim Adams return to Local4

Andrew or Paul are much better. Too bad. I believe you are the second one in this thread to say Gross would be better than Adams. Here's my query: Would Paul Gross want it? I've read elsewhere that his main moneymaker is testifying in Court what the weather was on a certain day and time. He's consi...

Re: Roop Raj and Taryn Asher

Who is not going to change channels just to see what's new? I could not respectfully disagree more. The people I know that watch the news regularly, all have their favorite station. And they seem to stick with it through the thick and thin. My dad has watched channel 4 news for 60 years, and only w...

Re: Ken Jennings as Jeopardy! Host

Interm EP Michael Davies, who stepped in when Mike Richards was fired, has now been made permanent EP of the show. Okay, I know Mike Richards is never coming back, but I genuinely thought he did a very good job hosting. Although he lacked the gravitas to be host of Jeopardy. Crazy thought, even tho...

More and more, I'm definitely preferring to watch when Ken is hosting rather than Mayim.
Completely agree!
Mayim is fine, but sometimes it seems to me that she’s trying a little too much. I genuinely find Ken to be a calming presence in the hosting role.

Re: Ken Jennings as Jeopardy! Host

In my original post I mentioned it would take some time for Jennings' personality to manifest itself as the host; I think we're seeing some of that now. He's doing a clever spiel at the beginning of every show. Of course, uber-champ Mattea is making it easy. Another change is promoting the next day...

Re: Netflix

We have started dropping and picking up streaming service every couple months or so. My big fear is if they try to force year long sign ups. Does anyone read TVGrimReaper’s blog? Most of these streaming services are not profitable, and frankly may never be. Now they are going to add tiers with adve...

Re: Netflix

I prefer getting engrossed in a series over a movie. However, when I do look for movies I want to watch, I usually have something specific in mind, and I frequently find the movie I want to watch isn't on Netflix. Their classic movie library leaves much to be desired. Movies I grew up with in the 8...
