Some interesting developments have occurred lately in the world of television. First, there was the heavyweight match between ABC's Lost and President Obama's State of the Union Address. Both were slated to air on February 2nd. Of course, Obama's speech would bump the premier of Lost. Now, I'm a patriot. I care very deeply for this country. But, to be perfectly frank, the premier of Lost sounds so much more captivating than the President's speech. I'm none to happy about this administration pushing forward the health care reform bill using kickbacks and bribes. Also, as a right-to-lifer, I'm terribly upset that this bill will propagate abortion and will force me, as a tax-payer, to pay for the killing of innocent babies. But, I digress. Luckily for Lost fans, a White House spokesman has said that he doesn't "foresee a scenario in which the millions of people who hope to see a conclusion to Lost are pre-empted by the president."
Lastly, it has been announced that Leno's prime time television show failed and that NBC plans to move Jay Leno back to a late night spot, pushing Late Night with Conan O'Brien back to a later time slot. How terribly disappointing! I don't care much for Jay Leno. He's really not that funny to me. But, Conan O'Brien is freakin' hilarious. I've enjoyed watching him lately. Now that I am in Colorado, he is on at 10:35pm (and not midnight or later like when I was in California). Having kids has changed me from a night owl to a "early to bed, early to rise" kind of man. But, on the days when I am still awake at 10:35pm, I have thoroughly enjoyed watching Conan do his thing. I will be quite upset if they push Conan back to a later time slot just to give Leno a second chance. I think it's a big mistake. Listening to the news this morning on the way to work, I heard that the public is upset about this, Conan is ticked off, and that the only person happy about this whole thing is Leno. Hopefully, NBC will see the error of their ways before making this move final.
