When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

I didn't realize that ice cream sandwiches were big in Rome ;)

Maybe I should have asked if when in ROME, DR Pogue does as the Romans do. . . . ::)

Well, I'm going to wussburger.  I napped all afternoon, but after being out of the office Thursday and Friday, I'm sure there will be all sorts of fun little fires to put out in the morning.  So Good night

Unfortunately, nobody took my picture today at the dedication service, though I did take a bunch of pictures at the luncheon following. . .

And ROME was delightful, the plot is thickening, I'm getting acquainted with all the players, and it's shaping up right nicely.

I mean I watch TV, I just don't spend my life in front of it and I'm very picky.  Life is far too short and far too interesting to spend five or six hours a day eyeballing all this network crap...even when I occasionally succumb, I usually want the time back. Iwish I had read a book instead.  

Most network telly I can easily live without...In fact, I can't think of one show that I watch on any of the big three (NBC, CBS, ABC) or on two of the small three (Warner, Paramount...I still watch THE SIMPSONS with some degree of regularity on FOX).  When I do watch TV (not videos or DVDs), it's almost exclusively cable...new episodes of SOUTH PARK are still a must!  I check out the DAILY SHOW a few times a week.  ROME and DEADWOOD on HBO.  LITTLE BRITAIN on BBCamerica. And that's about it for my "must-see" TV.  

I'll watch HGTV, THE FOOD NETWORK, and BBCamerica during the dinner hour, but even those get tough because the frequency of the commercial breaks has really reached the point of utter intolerability.  That's why I usually stick to TCM, Fox Movie Channel, and The Westerns Channel...commercial-free!

I liked Peter Jennings as much as the next fellow, but I REALLY didn't need to listen to the boys pontificate and pat themselves on the back for ten minutes.  Not when the news is so reprehensibly presented nightly.

Good Morning!

DR Jason - If I can "speak" for DR Rodzinski - If I'm recalling correctly, the New Amsterdam as well as a few other venues use "Showbill".  Well, more precisely Disney Theatrical, uses "Showbill" for their programs.  -And when The Lion King first started, I believe they used "Stagebill".  All the programs companies - Playbill, Stagebill and Showbill - are basically owned by the same company.  However, the advertisers and distribution deals are differents for each one.

There was some "trouble" when Ragtime opened at the then new Ford Center - one of Playbill's main advertisers was Chevrolet.  So, they switched to "Stagebill" along the way.  -And then I think they went back to "Playbill", but I could be wrong.  Disney Theatrical also originally went with "Stagebill" in order to avoid any possible conflicts of interest in regards to advertising (no Universal Theme Park ads, competing animation companies, etc.)

Additionally, "Playbill" is also provided free to the theatres - the programs are paid by the advertising revenues.  "Showbill" used to be "sold" to the theatres - and they contained less advertising as a result.

Confused?  I am.  ;)

In any case...

I'm not sure I answered your question.  :-\

Oh.... And I think it was during the run of Ragtime that Playbill bought Stagebill...

And there was also a time when the Kennedy Center had both Stagebills and Showbills depending on the hall.  Now it's all Stagebill.

Oh, thank heaven it's over.  I just took a nice long shower and whilst the hot water was pouring over my weary bones, I decided on my next short story (I'd pretty much decided anyway) and wrote its opening line.  I suspect it will be a teensy bit difficult to write, emotionally, but I'm looking forward to it, and it will probably be the only story in the collection that is completely written in a female voice from start to finish.

One of the major literary awards in Oz is the Miles Franklin award.
Of course miles have been replaced by kilometres in OZ.
