TLC Pulls Plug: Viewers Could No Longer Relate To Kate Gosselin
By
mattaug
I don’t get any joy from Monday night’s news that TLC has pulled the plug on its reality show Kate Plus Eight. I feel sadness for a woman, Kate Gosselin, whose life has changed so much due to fame and infamy. Much of it is her own doing, however, which explains the vitriol I am…
Yankees’ Robertson Winner On, Off Field
By
mattaug
Everyone knows about all the world series titles won by the New York Yankees. It makes them the most hated and/or loved team in perhaps all of sports. You HAVE to respect several of the team’s players for their class and professionalism, though, including Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter. Off the radar a bit, though…
Republican Presidential Hopeful Rick Perry So Very Telegenic
By
mattaug
It’s too early to call him President Rick Perry. Or even Republican nominee for President Rick Perry. But the Texan took to the airwaves Saturday afternoon and ran roughshod over everything in his path. In a good way … for Americans who believe the nation needs new leadership. Perry pointed out his own strengths —…
Changing Channels Hits Century Mark … In Posts
By

“I call ’em like I see ’em”. The refrain of the baseball umpire is similar to how I go about my business here for the Changing Channels TV blog. And I have done so 100 times already for Beliefnet since the company brought me in from the bullpen a few months back. I am close…
Jerry Springer’s ‘Baggage’ More Like Garbage
By
mattaug
Silly me. I thought Game Show Network was supposed to be a bunch of old ‘classic’ game shows with a few new ones sprinkled in. I turned it on the other night by accident, looking for Nick at Nite, and saw none other than Jerry Springer hosting a dating show called Baggage. Let me tell…
Not A Shocker: TBS Drops George Lopez Tonight
By
mattaug
He’s basically a nice guy and he can be pretty funny, but George Lopez couldn’t carry a late night show. There’s no shame in that, as even bigger names have failed in the venture including Chevy Chase, Magic Johnson and many others. I don’t want to make light of others’ failures, as we have all…
Stop Jerry-Mandering: Lewis Deserves MDA Farewell
By
mattaug
Yes, his appearances have become corny, cheesy and painful to watch but Jerry Lewis is the face of MDA. Let him say goodbye for cryin’ out loud! The organization recently announced it was parting ways with Lewis after 45 years. That’s fine and probably overdue, frankly. But there’s a certain grace and class to show…
Is Tina Brown’s Newsweek Attacking Michelle Bachmann?
By
mattaug
Being a liberal must be FAR more important to Tina Brown than being a fair-minded person. Or being a woman or person with even an ounce of empathy for that matter. In her latest questionable move as head of Newsweek, Brown opted to approve a photo of the Republican candidate for president with a crazed…
Kate, Don’t Date … Eight Is Enough
By
mattaug
News that Kate Gosselin is even considering dating again is, well, disturbing to put it mildly. The star of Kate Plus 8 is attractive and single, although that’s arguable on either point. Kate Gosselin can’t really be considered single whether she likes it or not for eight reasons … yes obviously her number of kids.…
U-Verse In Reverse; Drops ESPN 3D
By
mattaug
I am disappointed, to put it mildly. I purchased a 3DTV a few months ago with the hopes of watching movies and sports in a new dimension, literally. Come to find out, that U-Verse has dropped ESPN 3D from its package. I found out by flipping through the channels Sunday night with a message on…
