Farewell to one of the best shows on TV ever, “Boston Legal.” We never missed taping it at our house. Whether talking about substantive issues in the news, the silly stuff, or the reality of humanity, David E. Kelly, James Spader, William Statner, et al. always scored. They will be missed.
Another media tidbit is the news from NBC on Jay Leno moving to 10 p.m., which means that NBC is scuttling the scripts in that hour. Brilliant money maker move. The LA Times thinks it’s “risky.” What do they do if it flops? I may be the only one, but I’m sorry to see “My Own Worst Enemy” go. But 10 p.m. became a black hole this season. “Mentalist” is a huge hit. It’s the lead.
As for non-BLOGORAMA political news, which got buried by Blago, the AP is trying to make a story out of a non-event. If this was about two men it wouldn’t get written. But because it’s about Clinton and Rice, of course, one media source has to drum up drama. Thanks Blago! You buried it.
Consider this a free for all.
