Thoughts: 25-May-2009

Today is Memorial Day where we honor those who gave their lives in service for our country. A salute to all those brave men and women who sacrificed their lives to allow us to live free here in the USA.

Hollywood Reporter has reported that ABC studios is trying to keep Reaper alive. One possibility is a syndication deal where they would pair the show with Legend of the Seeker. I have never seen this show and don't really know when it is telecast in my local area. Tyler Labine would be contractually obligated to star in Reaper if such a deal is negotiated. While hope exists, I really have my doubts this will happen.

I watched the McLaughlin Group yesterday. Eleanor Clift was doing her shrill squawking as usual. I note that she is not content to just interrupt Monica and Pat, but even her fellow liberal Mort Zuckerman. He was attempting to discuss the the recent meeting between the Israel Prime Minster and Obama, a subject that he knows 1000 times more than Clift, and she interrupts him to express her utterly stupid opinion. As soon as somebody says that Obama is doing a bad job or was out scored by someone, she starts her shrill squawking.

I also notice that Clift almost never misses a show. Why? Because outside of the show she is totally irrelevant, Newsweek who employs her is going down in circulation and no longer carries any weight, she does not have a syndicated news column, or appears on any other shows. Without the McLaughlin Group, she would be unknown. Why John McLaughlin puts up with her, I do not know.

Oh well.

  1. Everything we’ve heard says it’s not as unlikely as previously thought. Several people have had VERY positive responses from the CW affiliates they’ve written to. Today we even received word that two of the biggest Tribune owned CW markets are interested in the show, and since Tribune owns a boatload of affiliates, it’s thought if the Tribune stations come on board, season three is a lock.

    All from the same Regional Director, Chris Wolf.

    And for those worried about Tyler’s new pilot, or Tara and Michele’s new FOX contract hurting the show, I’d recommend looking at these links:

  3. I don't know if I should be sad or happy that the only comments I get on my blog are from Reaper fans.
