OMFG, I forgot to put Bill Moyers new show on Tivo!

Off to correct that right away!

Charlie Brooker talks about his new show

Looking forward to Gervais's new show. I hope it's like Extras - which I loved.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

My parents, being from Oklahoma and great country music fans had great expectations when they heard about this new show coming out. Finally a good country music show. When it debuted and was actually corn-pone humour and sterotyped characters they were kind of offended and we never really watched it. Buck Owens was great though.

Fixed and thanks. Ah, Tory is in a new show with explosions! Sweet. You should submit it!

He didn't really bomb

he told a few jokes then noticed people were recording him on cellphones and camcorders and he asked them to be turned off, they refused, he said he wasn't going to do his stuff until they shut off the camcorders. Of course they didn't, then a few were heckling him for smoking when they werent allowed to smoke so he cracked a few jokes. Then he basically just stood there "if they going to record, I'll just stand my black ass right here for them ha ha"

so he basically punished the crowd cause he didn't like people recording him. He does that at all his new shows since his "mental breakdown" anyone recording him he will stop the show.

and that theyre all dysfunctional and nuts and the mormon kid maybe believes stupid shit, but he's good people.

If you think back to the original South Park episode on Mormonism, even though they rip the Mormons for the entire episode, the whole point at the end is that the South Park kids are assholes because they can't look past the Mormon beliefs and just accept the kid for who he is.

I'm not sure how you see yourself as any less dogmatic than I am..and Im sorry for making you sad. I hope that you haven't wasted too many kleenexs on me, but save them for yourself..you'll need them when you figure out evolution is wrong.

Here is the key portion of your wiki article:

"Ideally, this list would only recursively include 'true' transitionals, fossils representing ancestral specie from which later groups evolved, but most, if not all, of the fossils shown here represent extinct side branches, more or less closely related to the true ancestor"

What we see in the fossil record is that when something new shows up its all at once and is fully formed and then never changes. Ie, no true transitionals have ever been discovered. What has never been witnessed in the fossil record is steady progressive change of one kind of thing into something completely different.

You think this is a gap? It's a super massive black hole, and the vacuum may be in your head if you believe it. Here's some info:

John Bonner, a biologist at Princeton, writes that traditional textbook discussions of ancestral descent are "a festering mass of unsupported assertions." In recent years, paleontologists have retreated from simple connect-the-dot scenarios linking earlier and later species. Instead of ladders, they now talk of bushes. What we see in the fossils, according to this view, are only the twigs, the final end-products of evolution, while the key transitional forms which would give a clue about the origin of major animal groups remain completely hidden.

The blank spots on evolutionary "tree" charts occur at just the points where, according to Darwin's theory, the crucial changes had to take place. The direct ancestors of all the major orders: primates, carnivores, and so forth are completely missing. There is no fossil evidence for a "grandparent" of the monkey, for example. "Modern gorillas, orangutans, and chimpanzees spring out of nowhere," writes paleontologist Donald Johansen. "They are here today; they have no yesterday." The same is true of giraffes, elephants, wolves, and all species; they all simply burst upon the scene de novo [anew], as it were.

I think you're the one who needs to re-evaluate your beliefs.

the bar is still incredibly low..one of the best transitional forms out there is based on a whales nostril..i would find that embarassing if i believed in evolution. show me something convincing. also, give me an example of mutation that increases information in a genome while you're at it.
You've said that you aren't ignorant of science, yet you ignore the science that proves these things. You, and people like you, are not really interested in the facts, you are interested in finding all the gaps so you can point and say "aha, there is a god!" I am truly saddened by people like you - it breaks my heart that you can be so smart and so blind at the same time.
But you asked for yet more proof so I am at your service.
A (comparatively) short list of transitional forms: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_transitional_fossils
As for the claim that mutations not increasing information in a genome:
"We have observed the evolution of
increased genetic variety in a population (Lenski 1995; Lenski et al. 1991)
increased genetic material (Alves et al. 2001; Brown et al. 1998; Hughes and Friedman 2003; Lynch and Conery 2000; Ohta 2003)
novel genetic material (Knox et al. 1996; Park et al. 1996)
novel genetically-regulated abilities (Prijambada et al. 1995)
If these do not qualify as information, then nothing about information is relevant to evolution in the first place."
You can look up those scholarly articles if you actually don't want to remain ignorant. They are listed here: http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CB/CB102.html

That's what I meant, I was curious if he was taking subtle shots at how MSNBC operates in the first 30 seconds.>> ^NetRunner:

>> ^RedSky:
It would be interesting to see how much of what he says is attributable to MSNBC. All of it?

Not entirely sure what you meant by that, but I'm curious to see what's different about how he covers things on Current, especially given what he says here about having formerly been restrained by corporate interests at MSNBC.

I dunno. I think the one-season thing makes this even more special in a way. If only US television learned to make shows that are just tailored to 1 season, more like the way the Brits work. If a show gets cancelled, tough luck, try something new. I don't like how every new show just assumes it will run indefinitely and never resolve anything, while everyone knows it's hard work not getting cancelled.

So, instead of 1 show on Fox starring Beck, we get a bunch of new shows on Fox produced by Beck.

She looks like a young, cute actress they shoved into the wardrobe department's idea of a sexy yet not-sexy-enough-to-upset-the-feminists Wonder Woman. She has no hips! Where are her hips?! Wonder Woman is just that: a woman.
Is this a new show or something?


New TV series. I think NBC is doing it?
