Goodbye to the Fix, for now

In a world gone mad with celebrity gossip, it's time to focus on what we can do best.

    For Your Consideration

    I thought The Fix was okay - probably because it read exactly like what it was, culled from other sources. I would hear these items in triplicate throughout the day and didn't care much about most of it to begin with.

    What might be a nice experiment is a classier version of The Fix, something with a pre-24 hour cable television feel to it. Reports on real artists and writers as opposed to the adolescent who has made a lot of money on very limited talent.

    I'm not suggesting that the same vain, self-destructive tendencies don't exist outside of the ex-Mickey Mouse Club set, but it's usually more pithy and interesting.

    I do agree with the others who want the talk show listings to return; I checked those everyday.
