Yep, that was the best interview I've ever seen of a world leader. Blair
was struggling and stewart was just asking him quite simple questions that "real"journalists are terrified of as they may…

Only one small problem with the Letterman lists. Every show also features David Letterman, rendering the whole thing unwatchable. Pity.

Couldn't disagree more. Of course (and I don't say this in the spirit of competition with Fiona, it's just that she doesn't post them that often) if one wanted a…

My initial response on the weekend was "you can see legs". I had occasionally wondered if they just had casual wear trousers/shorts (since you only saw their top halves). Perhaps they did and now they can't anymore?

That was my reaction. It was very weird to see legs like they…

I know that the set design of 3 News has to be the opposite of TV1's, but the new glass-and-steel gymnasium look is a bit cold don't you think?

Just as well, my cat used to go crazy whenever Meryl Streep was on the telly, trying to claw her face off.

Heh... Meryl Streep is odd — I admire the pure technique but am curiously unmoved by the actual performances. She's the thespian equivalent of a House and Garden…

No one can beat "The Daily Show"...

Let me stop you there, because that's all you need to say.

I just watched Friday nights show, with Tony Blair as guest. It was brilliant and yet surreal. I mean, like, this is Comedy Central. Tony Blair (with no product to sell -…

Even felines are infuriated by her fake accents, it seems.

Sure, but we can't all be Meryl Streep darling

No one can beat "The Daily Show" set, It's easily the best looking newsdesk in the world, others should just copy it.

My other issue is not exactly about everyone being 'too pretty' – that's sort of a given in these shows – but that everyone is *way* too well-dressed. These people should be wearing clothes from Wal-Mart, dammit!

Well, if you want to get really nitpicky about it shouldn't everyone on…

And congrats on the new blog, although TV News sounds like a blog about the News on TV.…

I like the show, but I have two nits to pick: clearly, hardly any of those people are from anywhere near small-town Texas, and they…

Unfortunately, we didn't get freeview until I'd missed a couple of nights of Friday light, and I didn't feel like getting into it late (the Olympics didn't help).

I've been waiting for someone somewhere to rave, however, so thanks…
