Deep-down, I believe almost everything Kagan puts out is bullshit. Entertainment industry projections that are almost never right. However, I had to give pause when I saw this chart regarding Comcast’s NBC Universal purchase. If you’re an old media mogul, this chart should scare the…
What is it going to take for TBS (or any other Basic Cable channel) to get a little respect? I watched the premiere week of Conan and thought it was fine and exactly what I expected (which is a slight disappointment, right?). (Also, why was…
Seriously? Is this the guy you want to work for? Ugh. Oh, well… It’s just a shame. Tony, you have a reputation for being one of the good guys in Hollywood and you’re going to work for Ben Silverman? Come on, man! I’m on-board with…

So, after my very long vacation, I decided to check in on my old friend Ben Silverman’s new company – Electus. Now, I’ve been pretty tough on Electus and Ben Silverman since this venture was announced 11 months ago(!) – so, I went to Electus.com…
Now THAT’S what I call a month off. As many of you have noticed, I haven’t been around for the past month (replies to your emails are coming). Where have I been? CLIMBING MT. KILIMANJARO! I was told MK is considered one of the easiest…
