These columns are so damned good. Yeah, I'd buy a book of them.
Reagan's deregulation fervor destroyed the world of late-night TV described here, eventually ushering in the informercials that transformed it from trash to mere garbage (or is it the other way around?), and that's just another reason I'm all FUCK THAT GUY about him.
This makes me sorry I did not have a TV in the 1970s. I got my first TV as an adult in 1986, when I learned that "The Fugitive" was on a cable channel, both new to me. I sprung for a cheap TV and not-cheap cable and watched at 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., even though the 8 a.m. was just a repeat of what had played the day before at 2. And that's how I spell obsession . . .

Orson Welles was on TV a lot that week, and he hadn’t even started his series of Paul Masson wine ads!
He was great! Check out the Carson show with Orson and Robert Blake . It's a lot of fun.

Oh my, what wonderful films. And the short critiques are great, too.
