This show is worthless without celebrities.

I'll wait for "Celebrity Rock, Paper, Scissors" with special guest stars Michael Richards and Danny Woodburn, thank you.

It's not Arts & Entertainment--it's A&E!  :)

Of course you're right--but the fixation on young demos by advertisers and the simple problem that the audience that would appreciate cultural programming the most is the audience that hates television more than anyone else and will refuse to pay for it, especially since they paid for PBS and get Suze Orman and doo-wop during pledge drives.  It's unfortunate but true, especially since old-school A&E would've been my best hope for an Americanization of "Countdown."

AMC is currently running a contemporary British original TV series, which the USA TODAY TV columnist noted was neither American, nor a Movie, nor a Classic.

Now, if they had 52 models in low-cut dresses playing 52 Pick-Up, I'd watch.

Anyone want to bet that it's set in the Holy Roman Empire? ;)

And I'm surprised that Robert Bianco was one of the few who said that.  Either most of the people in the press who wrote angrily about AMC's switch (which I didn't think would ever come to something like "Hustle") either aren't TV critics, didn't notice or don't care anymore.  (I have the feeling that if Tom Shales had written about "Hustle," he would've complained more about what AMC has become than actually write about the show.)

But AMC is more profitable now than it was--and besides, I've always preferred TCM's programming approach for film buffs over the old AMC's nostalgia obsession.

ObGameShow:  "The Movie Masters."  'Nuff said.

Yes. The most compelling game of hunch and ESP since Blank Check.

ABC Family is showing Grease 2 tonight.  That's not a family movie; the only it's not rated PG-13 is because that rating didn't exist in 1982.

ObGS: Didi Conn's WC clue for "Why you make love" isn't exactly family-friendly either.

Oh I'd say it'll be more compelling than Blank Check.
