In other words, CBS gives a rat's ass for quality...it just wants instant gratification (something that has become epidemic since the millenium changed).

I wonder if any of the current "shirts" gives any credence to the possibility that the other networks have locks on the bulk of the audience with their own programming and that CBS needs to establish a great program in the slot they want to win and then stick with it, wooing/enticing viewers to check it out?

Well spoken DR RP and I could not agree with you more. All the netwoirks have issues whether it is a day part or primetime.

NBC's lineup has been weak at best since Fraser and Friends have ceased production several years ago. Granted they have the Law and ORder trio and ER, they cannot depend wholly on those programs.

Well, of course, by "gosh awful and tedious", I'm only letting everyone know how "I" find Jimmy Kimmel. If anyone else likes him, that's cool. I still love you all.

Ditto the "Spamalot" issue. I, too, preferred all the other nominees....I figured "Spamalot" would win, but I suspect seeing the show is the key to adoring it...I certainly don't begrudge anyone a Grammy for it, but I agree with Matt that it was the lesser of the nominees....personal taste and all that.

Not a huge Jimmy Kimmel fan but I will take him over a few others....

I was disappointed that the Chieftains did not win in their category but it was a tough one also. All the nominees had outstanding work.

I'd worry more about breaking the blanket.

But I did change my previous post to MBarnum's original word of "bundle." If anyone's trying to make sense of any of this.

THe poor person holding Freddy.... The claw marks would hurt a bit after awhile...

I just found out that my boss has selected me to be the official non-Equity licensing representative for MTI at the Southeastern Theatre Conference (SETC) the first week of March. Here's the best part - it's in Orlando! And the company's paying!! And I get to go with one of my best friends as he's the Equity licensing rep, so we're gonna try to get VIP tickets to Disney one day while we're there.

WOO and HOO!!

Sounds like an interesting time DR Jason... Have fun!

As for Spamalot snagging the Grammy... Regardless of the quality of the show and/or of the recording, I knew the whole voting process and knowledge of the voting body was "off" the year that "Riverdance" won. Need I say more? Not to diminish the contributions and talents of those involved with any of the nommed recordings, it seems to be a matter of name recognition than anything else.

True

I liked Riverdance and Lord of the Dance....

Back from LACC.

First off, everyone votes for the Grammys - there is no committee. As long as the record label sends the discs in anyone can be "up" in the prelims. Then people vote, and that makes the five. Then everyone votes again. The award is presumably for the best PRODUCED cast album, which is why it's really a producer's award. Unless the show is original to CD (not a revival) the authors don't even get part of it (if my Hello, Dolly had won, I would have received the award, not Jerry Herman).

The Riverdance year was fascinating, as, I believe it was the year of Rent. It was also, if I remember correctly, the year of my The King and I, which, all modesty in check, I feel WAS the best "produced" CD that year. We didn't even get nominated. I knew Riverdance would win - it had just been all over PBS - didn't matter that it wasn't even a real cast album - it had the "name" factor. With Spamalot, the "name" factor was simple - ERIC IDLE and the Pythons. Winner.

I also knew Riverdance would win. It was a big year for celtic inspired music. They Chieftains also had a big year that year....

I agree with you on Spamalot winning. THe big selling point was Monty Python and especially Eric Idle.

Not sure if that's the reason. "Crumbs" aired here on Tuesday night (or was that a repeat?).

"Grey's Anatomy", for some unfathomable reason, did not play on the West Coast in its time slot Sunday evening. At 10 p.m., they aired that "Desperate Housewives" catch-up program...but between the Super Bowl and "Desperate Housewives" the gosh-awful and tedious Jimmy Kimmel was on.

So....

Ron, I think it may have only been the Bay Area that got ripped off on Sunday night. In the Seattle market, we had HOUSEWIVES at 9, ANATOMY at 10, and, fortunately, Jimmy Kimmel after the local news (and my bedtime).

As a Grammy voter, I voted for it. Usually, as in politics, I vote for a losing number.

DR Elmore, how do you become a member?

You can keep it... We have had a cold blast here the last couple of days with high winds expected overnight... Lots of fluffy snow and it will FLY!!!

Miss Linda Purl has come and gone. We went over all the patter sections, she typed up her notes as we went along, and now she'll write rough versions of everything, that I will then Kimmelize. We're working on Saturday, and will start to stage the show then.

Still awaiting the arrival of Miss Linda Purl - I do believe she has never been on time once to any of our meetings/rehearsals.

Of course, I'm very fond of Liz's interpretation of the Primrose songs - I think she captures the essence of that girl perfectly - and I think Gary Beach does a fine job, too, even though his voice isn't my favorite, he really "gets" the guy.

I like Liz Callaway of what I have heard. I love the song she did on the Anastasia sound track...

Attending the show this evening will be the set designer I had to replace.

Have no idea what size audience we have, although since it's Thursday I'm guessing it will be small to medium-sized. I think we're already doing well for tomorrow and Saturday.
