Monday Links

by State School Elitist

Welcome back to the work week, while I write the review from last night’s Apprentice: Los Angeles premiere and eagerly anticipate tonights BCS National Title Game, here are several links for you too distract yourself with…

I always thought Comedy Central brought in shows for syndication, now they are sending them out.

There is the old adage, in lieu of creativeness lies sexuality. After signing Stacy Keibler and now Tiffani Thiessen; this is exactly what the producers are applying to What About Brian?.

I am pleased that The Wire will air begin airing in syndication on BET this Wednesday, if for no other reason than it might be able too reach a wider audience. But with the announcement that each episode will take 90 minutes to play in its entirety, that means thirty additional minutes of commercials. So if you’re really adamant in avoiding plunking down the money for HBO or the DVD’s, I strongly suggest you tune in.
Coincidentally, The Sopranos begins airing in syndication on A&E on the same night, and I make the same recommendation for both series’. Only problem being, how much will it detract from both series to meet network and FCC regulations?

Slow in the TV biz still, 90% of the news pertains to either Donald Trump, Rosie O’Donnell or both. And it’s not my intention to waste too much of your time, so we’ll leave the links at what we have now.

We also provide a weekly links post that keeps you informed on all worthwhile topics in the television industry. In short, if you watch Desperate Housewives, American Idol, Grey's Anatomy or Two and A Half Men... this isn't the site for you (451 Press provides other such pages you can link to at the bottom). With a couple exceptions, we try to focus our efforts on the more cerebral qualities of your idiot box.
