Must-see TV on Labor Day Weekend for over 40 years!

Whatever else you watched - or did - on Labor Day Weekend, let's hope you spared at least a few minutes of your time to watch the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon (And, of course, make a pledge). This has been a "staple" of Labor Day festivities for several decades and has helped to raise billions of dollars for much-needed research and treatment.

Hokey? Sentimental? Controversial? Maybe, but not to the "kids" and their families and supporters. Do I have a "vested interest" in all this? Maybe, but does it really matter?

To be fair

Olbermann isn't a "talk show" and doesn't have "guests", at least not guests that can be predicted a couple days before. His guests depend on what happens in the political/public realm sometimes that day.

It would be great to see Keith listed here, but it would be difficult to describe the upcoming show given the relatively impromptu nature of his format.

Where's Olbermann?

I am disappointed that you do not include Keith Olbermann in your daily TV column---he is the best!

Californication

is the funniest show I've seen in . . . forever. Raunchy and gross, and fantastic. Honestly I had to watch Hell-A Woman a couple of times because I missed stuff due to loud laughter - my own.

I described the episode to a friend of mine. For some reason, he got extremely turned on. Must've been the whole "lunch meat" discussion.

David Duchovny's delivery is perfect for this character's cynically surprised view of the world.

Thank goodness for cable . . .
