I’m watching Paul Mooney’s stand up special on Showtime. It’s very funny. I forgot to put it in the Primetime Viewing Picks. The next time it’s on, I’ll recommend it. Paul Mooney is a very funny man. I have not laughed this hard since watching Chris Rock’s last standup special on HBO. If you have […]

For those of you taking the day off for the holiday, hoping you are remembering the fine servicemen and servicewomen who served their country for us. I’m watching ESPN’s First Take for the first time in earnest today. I like Dana Jacobsen. She’s a good interviewer and has the personality to be a good co-host. […]

Some more stuff for you today. Larry Stewart of the LA Times has a review of NBC’s coverage of the U.S. Open. Phil Mushnick compares Bob Costas and Chris Berman, both of whom were at the Open and you can see where this is going. This could be a developing story, especially if the NFL […]

A few things for you today. First, I went to my favorite bar in Seekonk, MA to find it had been sold and taken over by new management. Now, I had heard this was a possibility, but two weeks ago, the old owner had told me that the new liquor license for the potential buyer […]

The overnight ratings are out. Ratings for Game 3 of the NBA Finals are absolutely awful. It’s apparent even with alleged star power of LeBron James, the country is not enthralled with the San Antonio-Cleveland matchup. The numbers show that “America’s Got Talent” won the night for NBC. Game 3 did finish second for the […]
