OK, for my handful of readers, a tidbit to tide you over until I have more time!
Another decent show apparently may not come back to the Peacock network - "Studio 60." Yes, the writers bashed a pretend version of the American Family Association for effectively squelching creativity. But they also developed a central character, Harriet Hayes, who is a believing Christian, to balance it out.
I thought it was brilliantly written and well acted, particularly by Matthew Perry. I forgot about Chandler Bing.
I tend to like shows which often don't make it out of the first year and they tend to be those with some thought and effort behind the work. "E-Ring" was another one.
Fortunately one exception is "My Name is Earl."
Anyway, I hope they bring back "Studio 60" but it looks doubtful from what I hear. Maybe the next show I latch on to will actually stay on beyond one season!

Riding the train
OK, a regular viewer of this blog says that sometimes I'm guarded in what I say.
I guess I've heard too many stories about being fired for what you say on your blog and I'm a little leery of that.
I'm not prone to hurt people's feelings typically, unless I'm on some kind of tear about something.
I've been hurt myself and it feels like crap.
But the train known as blogging is pulling out of the station, and it's time this wordsmith jumped fully on board.
I've seen an online magazine where they have a whole bunch of bloggers - from what I could see that's all they do. The famous (infamous?) "dooce" makes a living off hers. The new leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives held a specific "press" conference for bloggers.
The future is here and it's high time we acknowledged it.
I don't know what I'm promising except hopefully more frequent posts and possibly developing a real passion for the medium. I want to push the technology envelope! And the unfortunate part of making a name for yourself is promoting yourself, something that is somewhat foreign to me.
But I guess we have to do what we have to do to move forward.
All aboard?
