If you have BBCAmerica on your cable/sat menu, I highly recommend the great documentary by Vikram Jayanti,  The Agony and Ecstasy of Phil Spector, which they're showing tonite.  It was clearly the inspiration for the recent David Mamet HBO drama with Pacino and Mirren.  I remember seeing the docu at the Roxie 3 years ago and thinking, as I watched the interviews with Spector, "damn, Al Pacino should play him in the TV movie"... and less than 6 months later HBO announced the Mamet/Pacino/Mirren project.

We had free HBO this past weekend, and I recorded the Spector thing with Pacino et al. Will have to remember to grab this one as well.

Btw, BBC-America is becoming one of my fave channels, although I could do without them Americanizing their content so much. Except Star Trek: TNG. They can show that one as much as they want.
I agree.  I always thought TNG was pretty Shakespeareian, so it fits in a certain way!

Recently in another thread, someone wished for Magnum PI.  It's being
broadcast at some point during the week (I don't know the exact
schedule) on COZI-TV, another one of those "retro" channels.  Over the
air it's 11.2, a subchannel of KNTV.  Dunno if it's being carried by
the local cable monopolies.

That was me.  Thanks, I will look for it.

More Magnum: next Monday the channel currently known as G4 becomes The Esquire Network, and will be airing Magnum PI as well.  They'll also have The A-Team and Airwolf.

So Dave Letterman is retiring next year.  That makes me REALLY feel old.  I was a big fan when he first came on the air, so long, long ago...

So was I, when I was 13 in the summer of 1982 and staying up late for the first time. Barefoot guitar maestro Hiram Bullock was in his band then.

On Jeopardy! the other day, the easiest final Jeopardy ever!  The category was Album Covers, and the clue, "This band's eponymous first album featured a depiction of the Hindenburg disaster."

Even Alex mentioned it was easy.  Nobody got it wrong.

Sunday nite, John Oliver coined a phrase. By Monday it was in the Urban Dictionary.

KTVU Morning News has a new feature on Friday Mornings -- Friday Traffic Jams.  Basically, they come up with a theme, and have viewers request tunes via social media.  Last week was 1975 (for the 1975 Dubs championship) and, in the segment I saw, they were playing "Why Can't We Be Friends" behind Sal's traffic report.  This week it's "songs that bring out the Warrior in you."

As lame as the song selections are likely to be, it's not a bad idea...

A little Kool & The Gang this morning, doing some celebrating...  Not sure about the inner Warrior thing, but understandable.  Sal is such a dork.

On Thanksgiving, they had a Tom Petty "takeover" on Palladium.  I so wanted to recommend it to RGMike, but not so much that I wanted to turn on my computer. 

I watched the entire four hour documentary.  I like them even more now.
