Red Sox Reality Check (Free subscription) | 05/08/2008
What does it mean to be a Sox fan, especially an older fan...a veteran of the slings and arrows of disappointment? First, we experience the Joy of Transformation, the apocalypse of 1967, the disappointment of 1975, the mercurial ride of 1978, the nightmare of 1986, and redemption of 2004 and 2007 Ned Martin on the radio. Carlton Fisk's fair pole shot to win Game 6. "The Steal". Bucky $%#ing Dent. "25...

Dan has been counting down his Top Ten TV Shows, which got me to thinking about some of the shows my family used to watch together when I was a kid. Mostly I remember variety shows. Those must've been big in the seventies. The Burns and Schreiber Comedy Hour was a big favorite, along with The Mac Davis Show , The Carol Burnett Show , Sonny & Cher , Ken Berry's Wow Show , and The Shields and Yarnell...

MSNBC has cancelled Tucker Carlson's awful 9PM PDT TV show, but the bow-tied George Will wannbe will stay on with the network as an analyst through the 2008 presidential election. Carlson still hasn't recovered from John Stewart's tongue lashing on CNN's Crossfire during the 2004 race; perhaps Fox News will add him and he’ll fit right [...]

The Martin edition. The Kennedy Center Honors took place on December 2. Increasingly, the honorees are very much familiar to me. This year is no exception, with four of the five artists. The show airs on CBS on Wednesday, December 26 at 9 pm EST, and I WILL watch (or more accurately, record to watch at a later time.) The person with whom I am least familiar is also the oldest. Leon Fleisher was a fine...

With so much of the recent baseball conversation delving into the solemn and sober issues of steroid use and how the game should react to the problem, I thought it would be nice to throw a lighthearted change-of-pace. Along those lines, this week’s Card Corner presents something a little bit different. Yes, I admit it. I used to think that former California Angels outfielder Ken Berry (Topps 1972,...

A “backdoor pilot” doesn't refer to some TWA navigator with an unusual fetish; it is a term used in the TV industry to describe the use of an established TV show to test the waters for a proposed new series. Confused? Here are some examples: 1. The Multi-cultural Brady Bunch Spin-off that Never Was During the final [...]
