Back On The Air
I'm slowly getting back on television...
This is from tonight's 11 p.m. newscast as I explain about how to find gas stations that actually have gas in the current gas crisis around Metro Atlanta.
I stood in front of our jumbo touchscreen computer and pulled up
our interactive map that shows where you can find gas across the Metro.
Of course, had I known I was going to be on the tube, I'd have worn a tie and a jacket. (Lesson learned -- I'll put both in the car tomorrow)

You still look good. In fact, you look better than I would with a jacket and tie.

Don't like our two choices for president?
Do you ever wish you could vote for somebody OTHER than Barack Obama or John McCain? (and no, Cynthia McKinney and Bob Barr do not count)
There's a
new multi-day poll on 11Alive.com that gives you that option.
The poll for the first day includes presidents like Josiah Bartlett (Martin Sheen, "The West Wing"), Mackenzie Allen (Geena Davis, "Commander In Chief") and Tom Beck (Morgan Freeman, "Deep Impact")

Super Bowl XXXIX ad watch
USA Today ran their
annual "Ad Watch" of the ads that ran during last night's Super Bowl this morning, and though many commercials were pretty lame to begin with (was I the only one that thought the Subway steamed windows commercial was simply pathetic?), there were some major standouts.
The biggest standout for many was the Anheuser-Busch ad honoring soldiers returning home to spontaneous applause in an airport (View the ad at A-B's "Hero Salute" site). Many leftist blogs are decrying that ad, along with the NFL's salute to the troops prior to the start of the game, and comparing the overall sentiment and feeling to...(c'mon, say it with me)...Nazi Germany in 1936.
Other stand-out ads included the Bud Light ad featuring a skydive instructor tossing a six-pack out of a plane as an enticement to a reluctant diver -- only to have the pilot take off out of the plane after it.
Super Bowl first-time advertiser (and halftime show sponsor) Ameriquest ran two ads, the first featuring a man on a cellphone getting beaten into submission by the proprietors of a convenience store after they mistakenly overhear the man say "You're being robbed." The second featured a man fixing dinner for his wife, and picking up the cat that had knocked over a pot of tomato sauce...while holding a butcher knife in the other hand, as the wife (or girlfriend - it could have been either one) walked into the apartment.
The usual round of upcoming motion picture ads were present, and included new footage for Batman Begins, Sahara, and War of the Worlds. I was surprised that neither Star Wars Episode III nor Fantastic Four were represented last night.
Overall though, the ads were pretty dismal as compared to past years -- good thing there was a fairly exciting game to balance them against.
iFilm has collected all the ads together for you to watch online.
Update: The NY Times slings mud at the A-B troops coming home ad.
A gauzy valentine to American troops, which ended with the Anheuser-Busch corporate logo superimposed on screen, was touching, but some viewers may have wondered whether "Busch" had been misspelled.
Leave it to the
Times to let their biases show, even in discussing something as basic as a Super Bowl in a business article.
Update 2:GoDaddy.com CEO Bob Parsons reports on his own blog that Fox yanked their second scheduled ad last night, at the behest of the NFL.
As you may have noticed our Super Bowl ad only appeared during the scheduled first quarter spot. It was scheduled to run also in the second ad position during the final two minute warning. Our ad never ran a second time. Instead, in its place, we saw an advertisement promoting "The Simpsons."The NFL persuaded FOX to pull our ad.
We immediately contacted Fox to find out what happened. Here's what we were told: After our first ad was aired, the NFL became upset and they, together with Fox, decided to pull the ad from running a second time. Because we purchased two spots, we were also entitled to a "Brought to you by GoDaddy.com" 5 second marquis spot. They also chose to pull the marquis spot.
Their ad can be seen as part of iFilm's
Super Bowl ad roundup.

The LEAGUE plays here!
It's time. All the practice and drills and scrimmages and films have all led to this.
From 32 teams in the hunt back at Canton in August, to two in Jacksonville tomorrow.
Will the New England Patriots cement a dynasty like the Steelers in the 70s, the 49ers in the 80s or the Cowboys in the 90s? Or will the Philadelphia Eagles bring a championship home to a city long wanting?
The Patriots have a 7 point edge, but I'm going to take the Eagles (and the points). I'm a long-time NFC (and NFL before that) fan. Besides -- they beat up on the Falcons two weeks ago, they deserve it.
Enjoy the game everyone; enjoy the commercials, and remember that if you miss 'em, the commercials will be rebroadcast on an NFL Network special tomorrow night, and again both Monday and Tuesday.
I'm almost ready - I'm making homemade pizzas and homemade hot wings. I can justify it - I'll be back on my diet Monday.
Wrong network, but the question always applies: "Are you ready for some football?"

I'll be attempting a homemade pizza, too. I've yet to make one that I was satisfied with. Do you have a stone? If not, what's the secret to good homemade pizza? I must know!

Nope, no stone (though I do want to get one one of these days.
I actually cook mine in a cast iron skillet. I spray the skillet with PAM, then place the Boboli (I haven't braved a homemade crust yet) and build the pizza from there.

UPN/Paramount finally kills off Star Trek Enterprise
The low-rated fifth series in the
Star Trek franchise,
Star Trek Enterprise will come to an end in May.
UPN and Viacom announced the decision today.
A number of changes had been made in the series ahead of this, the fourth season of the series, but the one thing that didn't change was the low ratings the series earned.
"Star Trek has been an important part of UPN's history, and Enterprise has carried on the tradition of its predecessors with great distinction," UPN Entertainment president Dawn Ostroff said. "We'd like to thank Rick Berman, Brannon Braga and an incredibly talented cast for creating an engaging, new dimension to the Star Trek universe on UPN, and we look forward to working with them, and our partners at Paramount Network Television, on a send-off that salutes its contributions to The Network and satisfies its loyal viewers."Paramount Network Television president David Stapf added, "The creators, stars and crew of Star Trek: Enterprise ambitiously and proudly upheld the fine traditions of the Star Trek franchise. We are grateful for their contributions to the legacy of Trek and commend them on completing nearly 100 exciting, dramatic and visually stunning episodes. All of us at Paramount warmly bid goodbye to Enterprise, and we all look forward to a new chapter of this enduring franchise in the future."
TrekToday sources report that CBS president Les Moonves himself yesterday reached the decision to pull the plug on Enterprise. Most Enterprise crew members only found out about their show's cancellation this morning.
The as-yet-untitled series finale (to be written by series
killers creators Rick Berman and Brannon Braga) will air on May 13.

Those idiots set themselves up for a fall. They knew full well that they were going to be cometing with the top show the genre has ever seen, and they had the whole fall run of the first half of the season before they decided to use the numbers for the spring, when it was competing with Stargate, to decide to cancel the show.
It's too bad that there's not likely to be even a possibility of another network picking it up, since Paramount owns the network and the show. They really did fix every problem in the show which I never considered to be major problems anyway, thereby making a good show absolutely great. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season, knowing that it will be some of the best Trek ever. It's too bad they won't be able to continue it any further.

Hey I guess the freak show is at the top of Paramount Television chain of command when it comes to grading a television. The premature ending of Enterprise will send stocks to Paramount to an all time low thus probably making UPN Entertainment president Dawn Ostroff looking for a new job like in advertising for toddler shoes.
This person who decided to kill Enterprise sounds like a low brow geek that haven't been properly potty trained and lacks the necessary skills to judge a caricature or a series like Enterprise.
I hope a syndication like the Science Fiction Network or SI FI network take up syndication for Enterprise and make UPN Entertainment president Dawn Ostroff look like a tree swinging buffoon who doesn't deserve a seat on the board to tell the general public what to watch.
Well to me if this program ends I hope the Board of Directors at UPN can over rule the person Dawn Ostroff and send this person into making commercials for the toddler shoe industry because to me this is were this person belongs.

I wish I felt worse about this. The fact is I've only got real loyalty for the show because it's part of the franchise. As much as I despise bashers who complained about it (unlike DS9 and Voyager before it), I didn't find much I could use to defend this one against their harangue.
The time-travel follies and the failure to fill in the gaps in canon hurt bad; network mismanagement was as awful as we've seen since TOS was canceled. Just about the only thing it had going for it was exploration of the old TOS races like the Andorians and Tellarites. The possibility we'd see the Romulan War and the foundation of the Federation played out was only just coming back into range of my hopes.
C'est la vie. Trash it - along with the morons who've run the franchise into the ground - and start again with something else, something new.

Hey, Maurice:
Two things. I'm a fan (as are most of my visitors; some more rabid than others). There's no need to insult fans.
Secondly, it's only a TV show. Get over it and go read a book. If the concepts of ST & SW bother you that much, go write your own books or make your own TV show.
Posted by: mhking at February 07, 2005 09:49 AM (CO/Uo)

I am not sorry to see this series go.
From the very start Enterprise has not followed the long established timelines and protocols (as STNG series & movies did not)set down by Stan & Fred Goldstein and approved by Gene Roddeenberry so long ago. The whole concept of Enterprise is wrong and too advanced compared to Kirk's Enterprise.
Why would a relatively primative race (humans)manage to solve problems that longer lived more intelligent and advanced species are not able to solve?
Intelligence is always better than brute force.
Personally I would have thought that the next logical series even before two other bad ones (DS9 & Voyager), should have been the adventures of Captain Sulu.
What was needed, was a new set of writers ones who did not rehash the worst original series scripts (and I can spot them as easily as any good TREKER can)
Let's just hope that Berman and Braga can get it right next time?
Not all blame should be heaped upon B&B, what bright spark at the network pits two science Fiction programmews against each other???
And why oh why put the series on on a friday evening, real people go out on the town on Friday and Sturday nights. Why do you think that Football and Hockey are on on Mondays?
So use some of the stuffing between your ears
programmes are best seen on Sunday's, Tuesdays, Wednesday's & Thursdays, and choose a time when other good series are not on so as not to compete,
and dont change the time and date from week to week, it's hard to follow a series when you dont know when it's going to be on, and dont show any repeates until all programmes in the series have been run once, There is nothing more annoying than having to watch repeats evey 6 weeks.
From what is read about network exec's you get the sense that programming is not that important.
Just the persuit of money at all costs.
Well am I right? if not say something, in fact voice your opinion loud and clear otherwise you will be stuck with "Reality" shows, Stupid Sit Coms, and Idol (IDLE) programmes for the rest of your viewing eternity

As even the Great Bird of the Galaxy would tell
you, from these ashes, a great new series will
emerge. "IDIC"...such is the diversity of life;
a fire will forever burn with the beliefs Gene
R. espoused. Thus, fans keep faith...and
keep watch. Even now there are new fires
burning! How could there not be???
Please advise.
thanks, so much, for allowing me to give
expression herein.
As in "TIN MAN" (STTNG), I have such a great
EMPATHY that not only could I relate to
The Star Trek Experience...I could work there!
So...my understanding is as follows...
No matter what 'kind' of series is on...
wherever (cable, satellite, et al) the
Truth of what Star Trek shares with all its
fans is this: Exploration. The more space/science
fiction teaches us about the Universe, it
teaches all of us about the universal potential
in each of us!
WE can grow, explore...learn..and thus
fulfill our lives, our dreams..for ourselves
and those around us.
Maybe this is a test of character for the
fans. If they see it so, then growth will
surely come.
And in the Industry of Paramount Television,
well,
all I can say is,
if they can't see all their inherent
possibilities...I'd be happy to Enlighten
them.
yours,
Dave S. (and 'Freya', the wonderful, black,
smart, lovie girl cat, 4.5 years and
very, very Empathic as well. Boy, does
that ever help. She always tells me the
Truth...sooooooooooooo good!).

I just watched the final episode of Enterprise. What a disappointment! Was this an episode about the NX-01 Enterprise or about William Ryker and Deanna Troi?
It did very little to bring closure to the series, and to the characters within the series. What of Archer's distiny? Why didn't Trip and T'Pol get [or stay] together? Did Hoshi return to Brazil? What of the Federation Charter.
I suppose we will be subjected to a slew of dime store novels speculating on the final outcome for each of the characters.
As for this sereies, Good Riddence! In my opinion, Rick Berman and Brandon Braga have sullied Gene Roddenberry's original vision. Majel Barrett and the Roddenberry family should disassociate the Roddenberry name from anything connected to the Enterprise series.

Hmmm. I am completely saddened by the fact that Star Trek is gone for what appears to be good..
I sit here wondering when the next realistic portrayal of Science Faction will be aired. Roddenberry was a thoughtful visionary, and while the ENTERPRISE show may not have been as good as the original or Voyager it was still better than one hundred percent of all other SciFi pretenders.
I suppose I can go back to carousing and cavorting on friday nights again..
But it will not be the same as the rare nights I sacrificed a show I truly loves to do it..
Please if anyone reads this that has any say in anything hurry up with whatever is next.

CNN honcho enjoys the taste of shoe leather
Eason Jordan, "head honcho what be's in charge" down inside the monolith known as CNN Center, suffered from major foot-in-mouth disease late last week, when he charged that US military forces in Iraq were purposefully targeting US journalists.
Jordan claimed that he personally knew of 12 journalists who had not only been killed by US troops in Iraq, but in fact had been targeted.
During one of the discussions about the number of journalists killed in the Iraq War, Eason Jordan asserted that he knew of 12 journalists who had not only been killed by US troops in Iraq, but they had in fact been targeted. He repeated the assertion a few times, which seemed to win favor in parts of the audience (the anti-US crowd) and cause great strain on others.Due to the nature of the forum, I was able to directly challenge Eason, asking if he had any objective and clear evidence to backup these claims, because if what he said was true, it would make Abu Ghraib look like a walk in the park. David Gergen was also clearly disturbed and shocked by the allegation that the U.S. would target journalists, foreign or U.S. He had always seen the U.S. military as the providers of safety and rescue for all reporters.
Eason seemed to backpedal quickly, but his initial statements were backed by other members of the audience (one in particular who represented a worldwide journalist group). The ensuing debate was (for lack of better words) a real "sh--storm". What intensified the problem was the fact that the session was a public forum being taped on camera, in front of an international crowd. The other looming shadow on what was going on was the presence of a U.S. Congressman and a U.S. Senator in the middle of some very serious accusations about the U.S. military.
Here's where it gets really bizarre -- the person who finally told Jordan to
put up or shut up during the ensuing verbal maelstrom was none other than -- get this -- Congresscritter Barney Frank (Boystown-MA)!
Of course the $64,000 question at this point is whether Jordan will be allowed to stay with CNN or not.
Considering that he has personal relationships with officials across the Middle East, and has been involved in making sure that CNN was front and center, head and shoulders above the other networks in the region in terms of trying to cover the news there, I wouldn't hold my breath.
But in any event, consider this more proof of the downfall of the traditional mainstream media, and more evidence of the rise of the new media. Because without blogs and the internet, this story would be quickly covered up and never see the light of day.

I am glad to see that the law is used in the same way for everybody. Even the guy is in the Congress, he deserves this treatment.

UPN: Star Trek lives...for now, at least...
UPN
rounded out Upfront week by announcing their fall schedule this morning.
The biggest question over UPN was what would happen to Star Trek Enterprise, who limped through their third season on Wednesday nights, while getting creamed even among science fiction fans by WB's Smallville.
Well, Trek-fans, your pleas have been heard and answered, with Enterprise moving to Friday nights at 9.
UPN is relying on breakout hit America's Top Model and Smackdown as their powerhouse shows.
UPN 2004-2005 PRIMETIME SCHEDULE
MONDAY
8:00-8:30 PM ONE ON ONE
8:30-9:00 PM HALF AND HALF
9:00-9:30 PM GIRLFRIENDS
9:30-10:00 PM SECOND TIME AROUND
TUESDAY
8:00-8:30 PM ALL OF US
8:30-9:00 PM EVE
9:00-10:00 PM VERONICA MARS
WEDNESDAY
8:00-9:00 PM AMERICAÂ’S NEXT TOP MODEL
9:00-10:00 PM KEVIN HILL
THURSDAY
8:00-10:00 PM WWE SMACKDOWN!
FRIDAY
8:00-9:00 PM AMERICAÂ’S NEXT TOP MODEL (R)
9:00-10:00 PM STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE
Some long time Trekkies might note that Friday nights is where NBC finally killed the original
Star Trek more than 35 years ago.
Current word is that the "suits" at Paramount have given the word that this year will be the last for Enterprise and by extension, for the Star Trek franchise for the forseeable future.
Congratulations, Berman & Braga (franchise runners - and egomaniacs - Rick Berman & Brannon Braga): You've killed the golden goose. I hope you both enjoy great agony for your honorless "work."

Too bad they're killing it. This season was very good, IMO.

Being a Trek fan from way back, I have to say I was throughly unable to warm to Enterprise. I thought the entire "pre Kirk" thing was a very bad idea. And as for the Quantam leap fella as captain......also very bad.
Andromeda is well worth a look if your a dissapointed Trek fan.

What a shame. Unlike Patrick, I was a fan of the original "Star Trek" in high school (uh oh-that REALLY dated me didn't it), but never warmed up to any of the follow-up shows ( "Next Generation", "Deep Space Nine", "Voyager"). Being put on Friday night was what killed the original show for me , because as a teenager it was much more important to be involved in the typical Friday night activities than sitting home watching TV.
When "Enterprise" came out I gave it a look during the opening show. Being from Oklahoma, the setting in Broken Bow, OK hooked me from the gitgo. The show is well done and I have now become a "Trekkie" once again. I don't get to watch the show on Wednesdays, but it repeats on Sunday evening, and I watch it then (OK everybody, leave me alone, My "show" is on).
I hope they are smart enough not to kill it after this season, because it is the only thing I watch on UPN, and one of the few things I watch on TV at all these days except news.

My wife and I have been very disappointed with
Enterprise. She was a big
Quantum Leap fan largely because the show never took itself too seriously. Neither one of us has been able to figure out why the humorous possibilities have never been effectively mined on
Enterprise.
One episode this season did hearken to the kind of goofy humor my wife loved about
Quantum Leap, the one where the Andorians help capture a prototype of The Weapon™. But after a couple of good throwaway gags, the episode wound up like the series has been all along: Too @#$!!ing Serious.
So, we're pleasantly surprised the show's going to last another season, but I can't imagine it regaining the hold it has had on us the last few episodes -- once the Xindi storyline has played out, the series will go adrift again, and we'll be left counting the weeks until the
Firefly movie comes out.

Star Trek was always one of my favorite places to spent the time. A nice movie, with a lot of special effects and good actors.

Fox: Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, all year long.
Fox
one-upped the other networks recently by announcing an "all year round, seasonless" show introduction schedule. They stuck to their guns in their 04-05 Upfront presentation this morning.
Fox continues to crank out one reality show after another, starting in June with The Casino and The Simple Life 2: Roadtrip. The Fox reality wheel copies other formats as well, with Virgin's Richard Branson as The Billionaire (not unlike The Apprentice) and Oscar De La Hoya's The Next Great Champ (which mirror's NBC's upcoming Sylvester Stallone vehicle, The Contender).
Fox plays fast and loose with scheduling as well, with the biggest point being the move of 24 to Mondays beginning next January.
Fox has broken out their scheduling into three parts, June-October 04; November-January 04/05 and January-June 05.

My guess? This year-round thing will fall apart as soon as Fox has a real bomb of a show (or a real unexpected monster hit for that matter), and they have to reshuffle the entire deck.
Notice that though 24 is moving to Monday, it won't show up until after Monday Night Football finishes its' run for the year. They're definitely shrewd, I have to hand that to 'em...

CBS: Eye on battle Wed. at 10
First place network
CBS released it's fall schedule this morning in New York, with designs on setting up a battle for NBC's coveted
Law & Order audience Wednesdays at 10.
CSI: NY will go head to head in what promises to be a real battle.
L&O lead detective Jerry Orbach is leaving on tonight's episode (with plans to most likely come back to the L&O fold in the new Law & Order: Trial by Jury, set to premiere this winter), with new lead Dennis Farina set to replace him on the franchise mothership.
The Tiffany network figures they've got a shot at dethroning the longevity champ by placing its' own new francise player CSI: NY in the slot. CSI: NY stars Gary Sinise & Melina Kanakaredes in a slightly different take on the CSI formula, focusing on the two leads more than the other two franchise series' (CSI & CSI: Miami) do.
Reality powehouse Survivor remains on Thursday, with CBS' other "big" reality piece, The Amazing Race taking over Saturdays from the now-cancelled The District. CBS will round out Saturday with reruns of the CSI franchise & Cold Case (ironically, NBC is using a similar strategy with L&O franchise shows on Saturdays).

Rob Lowe, who bowed out early last season in NBC's failed law series
The Lyon's Den, tries his hand as a doctor in
Dr. Vegas. I'm guessing Lowe's on the early out list again -- at least at first glance.
Everybody Loves Raymond will have a shortented season as it's swan song; that seems to be the norm any more; The Parkers took that route this past season, and NYPD Blue looks to do the same this year.
