I'll try to record. I want to ask my hotel's permission to use their cable first.

Plus it's DISH, IDK if the wall cable will work since satellite tv is different.

Just hook your VCR to the satellite box, not the cable from the wall...

Everything Else TWC / Re: NBC Buys TWC!!!

Here's my prediction... the first sign of NBC/TWC integration will be TWC field OCMs (Jim, Mike, Jeff, etc) reporting on NBC's TODAY Show and Nightly News during weather events, and/or NBC's field OCMs reporting on TWC. This, though, it still down the road.

Maybe, but I've definately seen that before...particularly Jim Contore on World News Tonight on ABC.

Uh oh, for real? :blink:

I'll repeat what I said earlier again for the benefit of the doomsayers amongst us (cough Jtaylor cough). You won't see too many changes when the smoke settles. For the most part TWC is a winning recipe, so I highly doubt NBC is going to implement any terribly drastic changes. As they say, you don't fix what ain't broken.  :twothumbs:

General Discussion / Re: "A New Direction" for Price is Right
« on: July 06, 2008, 11:04:56 AM »
After one year with Drew Carey at the helm of the longest running game show...the show is going a "new direction".  FremantleMedia, the company who virtually* took over after Mark Goodson's death and estate sale, has been wanting to, for lack of a better term, "modernize" the show and change things up...after Bob Barker (who had a virtual stranglehold on the proceedings) retired, one man was left to keep it together, producer Roger Dobkowitz.  Roger was the only member of the staff left that had been there the entire time...by this time he was responsible for selecting the games, the prizes, etc.  He also made sure the game itself wasn't changed...six games, two instances with the Big Wheel, two showcases, a set with three doors and a turntable, models to glamorize the prizes...that sort of thing.  That last part didn't sit well with FremantleMedia.

Thursday, after the final season 36 show taped, he was sacked.

I have read some crazy things could happen to the show for next season...possibly the reduction of games down to four (for more contestant interaction), possible sacking the bidding game before the contestant comes on stage, possibly changing the "come on down" format, possibly a video wall, and probably the most "wtf" thing...potentially the sacking of everything that made this Price is Right familiar (to make it different completely).  And that would include sending Plinko to the flamethrower.  This last paragraph is complete speculation.

But we get in HD!   :rolleyes:

Stay tuned.

You forgot your opening rant tag :P

Speaking of Lightning...

Does he even post here?  It seems Brian joined just to say "I'm new" :unsure:

Yea..I'm not sure what everyone's speculating about a "true satellite local forecast."  We have it now, there's nothing else to change :huh:

There, I've made the proper correction.  :P :lol:

Heh, we've got Butthead telling Beavis to leave, that's charming! :twothumbs:
