A lot of dreams were crushed today, as we have been deprived of three very necessary things: more Sarah Palin interviews, more My Name is Earl episodes and, for many, any more TV at all. On the other hand, we get more Eric Roberts! It's a net gain!
Eric Roberts is joining the cast of the TV series Crash as an entrepreneur who wants to start a pro football team in L.A. ...Wait, that show is still on the air? Apparently, because they also signed Enterprise alum Linda Park and the girl from Doc Hollywood, Julie Warner. Well, that answers a couple of questions I had.
I had no idea that they were calling today, the day that America has to switch over from analog antenna signals to digital cable, D-Day. It's catchy, right? Well, some Americans are treating the day's trauma with the same response the Germans gave the real D-Day: fear and alarm. Apparently, people everywhere are freaking out that they have no TV signal, and it's mostly old people.
Tomorrow will be another kind of D-Day, as Spike TV honors the late, great, David Carradine with a marathon of his movies. (Hey, it worked for Lifetime and Bea Arthur.) However, contrary to rumors, they will not be featuring Mr. Carradine's mysterious manner of death on their series 1,000 Ways to Die, nor will they pit a David Carradine impersonator against a Spanish conquistador on a very special Deadliest Warrior.
Speaking of jokes made in bad taste, Sarah Palin has not only turned down David Letterman's offer to come on his show after he called her "slutty" and made a joke about one of her daughters getting knocked up, she has also suggested that she needs to keep her daughter away from him. Apparently, she thinks Letterman poses some kind of physical threat? Not sure that's entirely logical, but hey.
And, for those of you who were holding out hope, My Name is Earl is officially dead. It will not be going to TBS, or any other channel. Be free, Jason Lee's upper lip! Be free!

The second link, the one about old people freaking out, is wrong--it's the same as the link above, about Eric Roberts.
Sarah Palin interviews? Don't worry, I'm sure Dear Leader Obama will be having another speech soon that you guys can drool over per usual.
I'm not sure what kind of backward reasoning you use, but Sarah Palin has a perfectly logical reason for keeping her daughter away from Letterman; David Letterman and his writers are perverts plain and simple with proclivities toward underage girls.
That's quite a bold statement there, "1337." It couldn't possibly be that Ms. Palin thinks it's to her advantage to keep the flames of partisan outrage going here, does it? No, of course not. None of that could be going on here. Nope.
Chipotle, it doesn't matter how Palin took the joke; it still was in incredibly bad taste and Letterman (and others) should never go there. Disagree with the adults who chose to be in the spotlight, but leave the kids alone.
Ugh to both Sarah Palin and David Letterman. She's disgusting, and the only late night host worse than Letterman is Leno.
Regarding My Name Is Earl: Finally. That show was not funny.
It always seems like the shows that I love get canceled and the ones I hate stay on forever, so this is a nice change of pace!
wcgreen, Letterman has explained that he was talking about her grown daughter (you know, the actual teen mom). She is the ne who went around as some sort of public advocate for teen moms, therefore throwing away any right to privacy.
Chipotle, you have excellent burritos. Keep it up.
