Fortunately, I told myself some weeks ago that NBC can always find new and exciting ways of making it worse, thus the recent round of Epic Fail did not take me by surprise. I'm betting Letterman's people have already called Conan's people to arrange for a guest appearance. I'm torn on wanting to see The Tonight Show go down in flames because as much as I want to see NBC and Leno suffer some more, the show itself is an institution.
at the same time as I wonder when I'll see a show I'm fannish about again.
I thought my wait was going to be much, much longer.
I'll be interested to read your thoughts on Southland. I enjoyed the show more the second time around. I think only having a word or two bleeped instead of a dozen helped. Yay cable!

The latest word is that Leno won't take it back either now--and I'm not sure if that's really how he feels, or if it's just temporary posturing, but certainly he'd look like a dick if he moved right back to it after Conan was basically forced out.
I am very partial to Robson Green but I don't think that the UK should have serial killers; they should just have murders done by Mr. Mustard in the library.
I'm mostly commenting to say that I had a dream about you last night. We were getting coffee somewhere, and you kept going on and on about how you wanted to try a caramel latte, because you had never had one before, and what did I think of caramel lattes? And I kept saying "I can't believe you've never had a caramel latte!" and you kept second-guessing your latte order. I have no idea what part of my subconscious that came from.
Anyway, this NBC mess is entertaining me to no end this week. Team Conan all the way!
where are you in Red Dwarf? did you watch season 8 and Back To Earth (Red Dwarf's homage/parody of Blade Runner)?
Btw, I love Wire in The Blood. You should check out the British series, Waking The Dead (which the US has only seen the first six of eight seasons and only four are on DVD)and MI-5 (poor treatement by A&E and BBC America in airing the show- thankfully season 7 is coming to DVD on the 26th) aka SPOOKS (which was changed for US audiences due to it being a little known racial slur where I think of spies when I hear the word).
I finished all of Red Dwarf over Christmas. I didn't see Back to Earth as an homage to Blade Runner; more of a meta-episode on the show itself.
cofax7 has been trying to talk me into Spooks for a while, and finding out that Hermione Norris is in some of the later seasons clinched it for me, so it's in the queue.

Ha! You know me too well on both fronts, though I'm not a fan of the caramel latte--it's all vanilla for me.

THIS is some entertainment-related drama I can totally get behind. *makes popcorn*

At the end of the episode, it looked very much like something bad had happened to him, though it could be a fake-out.
