i didn't read all of it, but here's where i weigh in on the conan/leno debacle: i loved conan, but i was wary when they said he would replace leno on the tonight show. i watched a few episodes, but i really felt like he didn't translate to a timeslot that is censored. what i loved about the LATE LATE show was the utter wackiness of it - it was the kind of show that you watched with your own sidekick and i think some of the funny came from just the fact that you get a little loopy during the witching hour. i thought it was weird that leno was retiring, i have always liked him more than letterman and when i did tune in during that hour, i watched him. that game with people from the street was always a winner. that said, i believe that there's this standard that people can 'retire' and then come back and THAT'S really what irks me about this whole things. if you're going to quit, then quit. i was actually surprised to see leno retiring in the first place and i'm not sure what led to it, but he should have stuck with it since he did it.

Hey! I'm finally back on LJ; so nice to see a comment from you. And thanks for reading my rambling :-))

Honestly, I think Conan will do better away from the Tonight Show. Hopefully he'll have a show where he'll have more creative control (and a network that will allow him that control). Leno's just bugging me throughout all of this -- if he didn't want to retire, he should have said something. And all of this, and particularly the way he did it (starting with interviews RE would like to have the 11:30 slot back in November) just seems so similar with the last time this happened, and trying to pretend he's just a victim of NBC...blech. Irritating. And, yeah, Leno, don't be the Brett Favre of late night tv!

also, MA. democrats have spent too much time with this we must be bipartisan bs. this will hopefully be their wake up call.Booo. I didn't really pay attention to this race but I thought she seemed awful. At least they (and we) are only (hopefully) stuck with him for two years. I don't understand this desire for

*takes a moment* the dem/rep situation in this country really... just.... so, i'll say this: george w. bush had a 51 seat republican congress 'majority' and he took it as mandate to push through his agenda. he could have cared less about bipartisan bullshit and he got the job done that he wanted to do. obama has a 60 seat democrat congress (59 now?) and we can't do ANYTHING. it's embarrassing and ridiculous and it pisses me off. what's even more, is that our leader has checked out. what's he doing? he's fired most of the people that got him there and he's just. not. present. i hate to be here now, where we are with this economy, with congress and with our social issues, and feel like i KNOW hillary would be doing a better job. it frustrates me to let that anger me. i feel myself starting to get off on a tangent because that loss still hurts, so i'm going to stop. now.
