"NBC thinks I'm such an idiot, they want me to run the network."

My guess is NBC and Conan have a clean break and than Conan can finally start a show on FOX in the fall. I think that is reasonable for both sides. They both get what they want and hopefully Conan comes to Chicago and I can go once in awhile.

Great Simmons podcast today with the TV writer from the SF Chronicle. Think his name his Tim Goodman.

I think there are decent women wrestlers in both companies. The thing is, to me, there is not that much difference between a bad women's wrestler and a good one these days...except Lacey, who is dreadful and awkward and hot.

Yes, Cuse and Lindeloff have the final say, but I think some other people could take the reins and do just fine. Here's an interesting read on what could have been for the series: http://scifiwire.com/2010/01/20-crazy-things-that-near.php I actually would of liked a Keamy centric episode in Season 4. He was a badass. Damn strike.

They created this show and I don't want to watch something that people who had nothing to do with Lost before wrote, because it would just be their take. JJ Abrams created the show but I know what you mean. I wouldn't follow any syndicated hour spin offs. It would just ruin things.

...And Thank GOD Velvet Sky is super hot, cuz she is not very good in the ring at all.

I take it Generation Me are The Young Bucks. Can you pick a dumber name?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 14, 2010 -> 03:54 PM) According to the radio, Leno is officially the host of The Tonight Show again. He had to negotiate a new deal and the new deal says he hosts for an hour. Such garbage.

The whole Barkley, the Dog Butler on "Modern Family" last night was classic.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jan 14, 2010 -> 02:17 PM) What else would he do if he is refusing to move to the 12:05 slot? With NBC is shambles, Zucker would be stupid to pay Conan $20 mil a year to sit at home and do nothing. They should just let him out of his deal and let him go to Fox. It would kill NBC, but there is nothing I watch on that channel anymore anyway, so I don't care.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 14, 2010 -> 02:00 PM) Bill Simmons reporting that next week is Conan's last week with NBC. It's his last week at the 10:35pm slot. Not done with NBC...yet. Simmons just recorded a podcast with TV critic Alan Sepinwall about this. Should be sweet.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Jan 14, 2010 -> 02:03 PM) bowling class????? what the deuce It was a one hour credit I took my last semester for the hell of it.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jan 14, 2010 -> 01:55 PM) Jeff Zucker is supposedly threatening Conan to take the midnight slot or he will keep him off the air for the next 3.5 years. What a prick.

Got an A in Bowling class at SIU. I bring pain to the pins!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 14, 2010 -> 12:48 PM) Who needs NBA League Pass with NBA TV out there? Everything's in HD, NBA Gametime cuts into all the games at some point or another with great highlights and analysis throughout. It's basically NFL Redzone for the NBA. I love it. Agreed. Sometimes on U-verse, games aren't blacked out. Be it by accident or some other reason. I see plenty of games between Bulls, ESPN, TNT, NBA TV.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 14, 2010 -> 09:14 AM) Refresh my memory. Who was Jacob? That's still a little hard to answer. He is one of the two major forces on the island, or at least was until Ben killed him. He seemed to represent good and lived inside the 4 toed statue. He has been the hidden leader of The Others for a long long time. http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Jacob I love lostpedia!

I brought sandwiches!

Chad Millard hip checks Nick Evans down the floor, than charges Evans like a b**** and they go chest to chest. Double technical, yet Evans gets tossed and Millard gets to stick around. Yeah, that sounds right. Justin, ya'll better be all over that clown when they come to the Arena. He's playing dirty as hell.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 13, 2010 -> 08:36 PM) Huh? I heard Rush said something about how Obama shouldn't be helping Haiti out of something to that effect. Guess we should of taken the Dubya path with Katrina.

To help with relief efforts, text "HAITI" to "90999" and $10 will be given automatically to the Red Cross, charged to your cell phone bill. (legit, http://www.state.gov )

There wasn't one likable character in that whole movie. What a waste.

Had "Funny People" from Netflix for about a week. Eh movie. Didn't expect Sandler to be so unlikable.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jan 13, 2010 -> 11:54 AM) I honestly can't see how they can allow themselves to get torn apart like that night after night until February. They're going to have to pull him eventually and run reruns or something. It'll be the best ratings they have had in a year if they let it ride out.

"Elliott, do you think there is a Patrick Dempsey movie I haven't seen?"
