Sunday Funnies

Last week all hell broke loose respecting the late night slot on NBC.  Jay Leno lost his prime time spot and a huge battle erupted over who would retain the coveted 11:35 Tonight Show.  Editorial cartoonists had a field day...

While I'm a bigger Leno fan than an O'Brien fan it sure seems Conan is getting screwed either way. Too bad there's so much ego involved on both sides because you can bet Conan isn't be turned out to pasture for nada!

Don: I think the NBC suites are to blame. First they squeezed Leno our prematurely and settled Conan in. Then, they thought they were so smart to save money by using Leno at 10 instead of a prime time show. Bunch of douches.

Meh, I'm a Letterman fan.

Me-Me: Shh. Me too.

If it doesn't cost much to produce the early Leno show, give it more time.

Why didn't the NBC execs just ask me?

*yawn*

Quirks: Works for me. And some times I was even able to stay up late enough to see him!

WHOOOOOOOOO! I can't get over
the funnies! HA,HA,AAAA,HA,HA,HA,HA
I'm neither a Leno nor an O'Brien fan.Those funnies are what got me.HA!
The Peacock cartoon is so right on.

We don't have cable anymore (by choice), but when we did, I always enjoyed Conan more than Jay. I liked watching Letterman and then Conan. I'd like if they went back to that myself...maybe we'd get cable again. :)

I like Conan and Letterman too. It's been a real circus this past couple weeks, though, so I'm glad it's over and Conan can wipe away his tears with the 30 million NBC is giving him to just go away. Way to go big guy!

I just watch Chelsea Lately instead of Leno or Conan. No controversy about time slots or ratings there. However, I do think Conan is getting the short end of the stick, especially now that his ratings are going up ironically enough.

Donna: Hey, I look for the best. Some are simply priceless.
nonamedufus said…
UR: There I times I still see the early, awkward Leno. Remember when he first started the Tonight Show? He was simply terrible at interviewing.
nonamedufus said…
Tgoette: I wouldn't be surprised if Leno's ratings dropped.
nonamedufus said…
Staci: Yeah I think Conan got the short end of the stick too. It was NBC execs who pushed out Leno from the Tonight Show slot and announced before he'd even left who was taking his place.

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy!  You know what happens on Imagination D
