Yosemite Zas: Blowin’ It To Smithereenies?!?!
You may have already concluded that I’ve been particularly hard on one David Zaslav in these musings. The fact that pretty much his entire tenure as head honcho at Warner Brothers Discovery has essentially correlated with the existence of this space has helped to make him a familiar target, and the sheer number of times
Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Basketball’s Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Back!!!
NOTE: This also appears today on our sister site, DoubleOvertime. Please visit it regularly for coverage of sports of all sorts, plus occasional essays on business and technology. My love of NBA basketball began when I first became a fan–around the very same time the unsuccessful New York Knicks traded slow-footed veteran Walt Bellamy to
Every -Verse, Same As The First!
It was somehow apropos that CBS premiered not one but two new scripted procedurals on Friday night that not only was part of the premiere week they had promoted for almost six months straight but also in the same week when open enrollment on Medicare began. The numbers don’t lie–an overwhelming amount of those who
All The Stillers Finally Air Their Grievances
One could easily make the case that Ben Stiller’s success was genetically engineered. As the by-product of the prolific and enduring comedy team of Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, whose off-screen love endured for 61 years of marriage, it’s easy to see where he got his ability to morph into memorable characters (Y chromosome) and
No Kings? Fine. How’s ‘Bout No Jokers, Too?
Happy No Kings Day to you, too. I have this tremendous sense of deja vu considering we apparently had this Day of Days a mere four months ago. Regular readers and those capable of clicking on a link know how I felt about all of this then. Probably not as giddy and anticipatory as a
It’s Back On A Lot Of Dance Cards
If you were laying out prop “bets” on your favorite social gambling site before the 2025-26 TV season technically began on which show would be showing the greatest degree of improvement you would have been hard-pressed to convince me to even drop four bits on Kalshi on DANCING WITH THE STARS. I’ll admit Ive been
Change Is Inevitable, And So Is Irrelevance
It was most def one of THOSE days for me yesterday, and that’s not just because a reality check on my excuse for a bank account revealed that despite a momentary blip of hope it will be nay impossible for me to afford even the most spartan of excursions to simply see my best friend
There Are Words To Describe This Performance. These Days, They Won’t Have You Jailed.
I have always been a fan of live theater, although I rarely have had the funds to be able to attend as many such events as I’d like. In my early New York days when my bank account was in only slightly better shape than it is now, having the same last name as the
A “Thirty” Show In Every Sense Of The Word
It’s CBS PREMIERE WEEK, a fact you might have been aware of had you watched a moment of any Paramount Global media entity since, oh, July. The most-watched and most traditionally programmed broadcast network has made a VERY big deal about how they were rolling back the clock and clustering their season premieres predominantly over
