Colbert’s Got A Lot Of Company Leaving CBS
We’re down to the proverbial short hairs when it comes to the broadcast network life of THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT. The show’s final week of existence began last night with a clip-laden “worst of” episode. By week’s end the valuable (and still most-viewed) real estate immediately following the most profitable daypart on local
Trading Places
If you happen to be employed by one of the solvent international airlines and their related business partners, you’re probably feeling a little busier and more bullish than usual these days. And if you happen to be one of movers and shakers in entertainment you’re likely directly the cause of said ebullience. We’re knee-deep into
Clowns Are Typically Associated With Pratt Falls
I’ve been crystal clear that I’m anything but comfortable about the choices that are awaiting myself and my fellow Californians on the primary ballot that is now sitting on my nightstand awaiting my attention. I’ve already mused about the underwhelming and unfortunate situation that we find the gubernatorial race in, and I’m sorry to say
They Got Plenty Of Dutton
It’s not easy to find positivity around the Paramount media universe these days. Sure, they appear to have won the battle for Warner Brothers, the half-assed efforts of Rob Bonda, Richard Rushfield and Elizabeth Warren notwithstanding. But at the same time they’ve been losing substantially more wars. CBS is no longer America’s Most Watched Network–when

For Me, It’s More Of An ApplAInce Than It Is A Tool.
When I chose to begin a new life going solo I made a Faustian pact with my sister that I would not fall into the trap that far too many divorced men fall into–exclusively rely upon restaurants or take-out for my nourishment. In between my first and second marriages that defined my own eating habits,
How NOT To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying
For as much as I’d like to think my musings are original and trail-blazing I’m perpetually reminded by my metrics that I’m clearly neither. Spend enough time around numbers as I have and you can’t help but take that sort of approach. So when I look at the numbers specific to ABC of late I’m
I’m Just Not Down With Upfronts Any More
There was a time when upfront week was practically Christmas in May. I didn’t get to attend many of them, but considering how much work and overtime I put into even the ones I supported the week was a continuous array of catered meetings and persistent updates as networks announced their fall lineups and series
A Bittersweet Day In The Neighborhood
Another show bites the dust tonight, which I realize on the surface is as dog-bites-man a story as is capable of being produced nowadays. I wasn’t a regular viewer of THE NEIGHBORHOOD, which sunsets CBS tonight after an impressive eight seasons and 156 episodes. Those are the kind of numbers that old school situation comedies
