    Good Dog!

    Having ditched my television many years ago, I'm so pleased that someone else out there watches all the dreck in order to show me some of the tastiest morsels. I rely on digests like Video Dog to keep me up to speed on all manner of televised happenings, however strange or banal or superficial.

    The haughty invectives lashed out at The Dog in regards to this Ellen clip (and anything else that may not maintain a 'serious news' stance) are nothing more than the foamy spittle at the corner of Hooch's maw and should be shaken off with like effort.

    There are myriad sites dedicated to providing specific coverage, be it video or written, on newsworthy and, let's say, People-magazine-worthy topics. I think Salon and Video Dog are doing fine straddling the line.
