Tom Heald's TEST PATTERNS
"Oh, those Summer niiiiiights"
Copyright 2006 (C) Tom Heald
tom@...
August 1: You love him for more than Mork. This day in 1979, Robin
Williams' comedy album "Reality...what A Concept" goes Gold.
August 2: Oh yes, they call her The Streak (boogity boogity). This
morning at 8:30 a.m., in 2000, as the camera pans the crowd outside the
Today Show's "Window on the World" one tourist gives America another
view ... by taking her top off. Master Control, caught off guard
switches to another set of boobs ... the Republican Convention in
Philadelphia, and a rattled Katie Couric.
August 3: In 1995, CNN en Espanol makes its debut. Damn that NAFTA.
August 4: Thanks to a unanimous vote at FCC hearings this day in 1987,
broadcasters can officially go back to being "unfair." The rollback of
the "Fairness doctrine" allows Fox News Channel not to have to actually
present both sides of an issue, but the option of completely making up
what the opposition says.
August 5: After Bill Cosby is found guilty of assaulting a member of the
paparazzi, this day in 1994, America's Favorite Dad is fined $0.20.
Though given the ratings of "The Cosby Mysteries," he may not be able to
afford it.
August 6: In 2000, the "Keith Oberman Evening News" premieres on Fox
Sports Net. (This can't go well.)
August 7: In 1970, Chicago gets down and funky with its bad self.
Presenting "Soooooooooooooooooooooooooul Train!"

ENOUGH ALREADY
Freelancers come to press tour, then write catty columns starring
themselves as the smartest scribes in the room. I've had it.

Earlier: Fox News comes to tour.
http://blogs.kansascity.com/tvbarn/2006/07/please_dont_fee.html
I LIKE SPIKE
His "When the Levees Broke," which starts tonight, deserves to be
treated as the definitive documentary of Katrina's impact on New
Orleans, despite its tone and bias.
http://blogs.kansascity.com/tvbarn/2006/08/spike_lee_opens.html
Also, Chip Franklin and I discuss "Levees":
http://blogs.kansascity.com/tvbarn/2006/08/wbal_when_the_l.html
"FALL" TV STARTS TONIGHT
With "Vanished."
http://blogs.kansascity.com/tvbarn/2006/08/new_view_vanish.html
MERGE AHEAD
Kansas City's TV market is about to shrink by one "voice." Does it
matter?
http://blogs.kansascity.com/tvbarn/2006/08/one_less_voice_.html
YOU'D RATHER NOT
A former producer for Dan Rather has dished about him in a new book.

Tom Heald's TEST PATTERNS
Copyright 2000 (C) Tom Heald
tom@...
August 21 : in 1928, The New York Times publishes its first ever listing
for a TV program. Oddly enough, not the Joe Franklin Show. The mention
is seen as giving much-needed credibility to the new medium.
August 22 : in 1988, NBC launches the half hour "Later with Bob Costas"
with big interviews and even bigger chairs. Sitting opposite Costas on
night one? Someone used to the graveyard shift on NBC, Linda Ellerbee.
August 23 : in 1995, Kirk Cameron launches his sitcom "Kirk" on the WB,
playing a guy named Kirk, showing the acting range of Tony Danza.
August 24 : in 1963, continuing to buck the trends of traditional sports
coverage, ABC's "Wide World of Sports" covers the extreme games of the
Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa., for the very first time.
August 25 : in 1993, "The Trouble With Larry" makes its debut well
before the traditional start of the fall season. Which gives "inlaws"
BronsonPinchot and Courtney Cox time to audition for better work when
the show is cancelled after three weeks.
August 26 : in 1989, TV Guide publishes a photo-realistic cover
featuring Oprah Winfrey's head on top of Ann-Margret's body. Oddly,
people notice.
August 27 : in 1996, "Homeboys in Outer Space" makes its debut on UPN.
According to a press release, "Two affable twenty something free-lancers
are under pressure to make something of themselves - and in the 23rd
century there is plenty to do. Ty and Morris spend their days hopping
from one galaxy to another in their Space Hoopty, an intergalactic
vehicle. It's guided by a sassy onboard computer named Loquatia and
maintained by their trusty yet clueless mechanic, Carl. Along the way,
Ty and Morris pick up odd jobs, encounter hot space babes and struggle
for cold hard cash. The two set up 'office' in the corner of Jupiter
Too, a futuristic tavern run by Ty's brother-in-law, Vashti. When
Vashti, a human-eating, cigar loving humanoid from the Vognarian planet,
isn't running the bar, he's sending Ty and Morris out on messenger trips
via Space Hoopty." Can somebody explain to me why there's a better
episode guide for this dreck than there is for "M*A*S*H"?

Hi, Aaron Barnhart here with a special midweek announcement for
subscribers to THIS WEEK AT THE TV BARN.
On Wednesday, September 6th here at Screenland -- Kansas City's great
new/old place to watch movies -- we're holding an event called "Watch
the Pilots with Aaron." (To my readers in the Bay Area, this is
completely different from Tim Goodman's long-running "Watch the Pilots
with Tim." For one thing, my name's Aaron. For another thing, I'm
holding it here, not the Bay Area. See?)
We're giving away free tickets to this event, where I'll screen
portions (and in a couple instances, the entire pilot) of my favorite
new fall shows this season, followed by Q-and-A and the swag giveaway
to end all swag giveaways.
If you live in or near Kansas City, I'd love to see you there! First,
click below to see the Matthew Lesko-like poster featuring yours
truly, and then use the clickthrough on that page to sign up to "Watch
the Pilots" with me:

Tom Heald's TEST PATTERNS
Copyright 2001 (C) Tom Heald
tom@...
August 28: In 1995, "Bruce Greenwood stars as documentary photographer
Thomas Veil, who, in the course of one evening, seemingly has his
whole existence erased," in the compelling one-hour drama "Nowhere
Man," a new series on UPN.
August 29: in 1976, Tom Brokaw takes over for Jim Hartz as male co
host of NBC's low-rated happy talk broadcast "The Today Show." Barbara
Walters left the show in June and will soon be replaced (after several
on-air auditions) by Jane Pauley.
August 30: in 1995, the Cable News Network launches its web page, the
better to mock Larry King with.
August 31: in 1992, "Vicki!" Lawrence! gets! a! daytime! talk! show!
And! later! becomes! the! first! talk! show! host! since! Oprah! to!
be! nominated! for! a! Daytime! Emmy! in! her! freshman! season!
September 1: in 1950, Mexico City's XH-TV in becomes first the
commercial television station in Mexico, and unfortunately loses the
rights to air La Hora de Jaudi Dudi (aka the "Howdy Doody") to station
XEW-TV.
September 2: in 1989, CBS adds another live action weirdo to its
Saturday morning lineup with "Hey Vern, It's Ernest!" KnowwhutImean?
September 3 : in 1967, after 17 seasons CBS ends the original version
of John Daly's "What's My Line?," with Daly himself singing in as the
Mystery Guest. Final panelists Martin Gabel, Steve Allen, Bennett
Cerf, and Arlene Francis have to find other lines, though Francis is
the sole holdover when a new syndicated version starts up the
following year in syndication.

Tom Heald's TEST PATTERNS (Now with even less useful info!)
Copyright 2006 (C) Tom Heald
tom@...
September 5: In 1977, "People" Magazine looks into its Swarovski crystal
ball and predicts "Dan Rather -- Cronkite's Heir?" (Right, like that's
going to be happening in the next three years.) BIRTHDAY FUN: Dave's
World actor Andrew Ducote is 20.
September 6: In 1969, after five years of cartoon shorts, the Pink
Panther gets his own Saturday morning series on NBC. The toons now make
their official debut on the network show then running before films
released by United Artists. The series runs in a variety of formats for
10 years worth of "dead-ants." BIRTHDAY FUN: "Boy Meets World" actress
Trina McGee-Davis is 36.
September 7: In 1963, things are still "poppin' the Philadelphia way" in
spirit, as "American Bandstand" takes up new residence in Southern

Thomas Allen Heald's Award-Wishing TEST PATTERNS
Copyright 2006 (C) Tom Heald
tom@...
September 12: In 1959, the following broadcast is (the first regular
weekly series) presented in color! Presenting "Bonanza"! Mommy, why is
that map burning?
September 13: The first "sporting" event to take place after the 2001
attack on the WTC? " WWF SmackDown!," live from Houston.
September 14: In 1987, ITV Schools begins broadcasting on the UK's
Channel 4, with a 28 part instructional series on "Environments."
September 15: Fear not farmers, on the heals of "Live Aid," it's Willie
Nelson to the rescue on this day in 1985, with the very first "Farm Aid"
concert from Champaign, Illinois at Memorial Stadium. Performing on the
lineup are Alabama, Hoyt Axton, The Beach Boys, Jon Bon Jovi, Glen
Campbell, Johnny Cash, David Allan Coe, John Conlee, Charlie Daniels
Band, John Denver, Bob Dylan, John Fogerty, Foreigner, Vince Gill, Arlo
Guthrie, Sammy Hagar, Merle Haggard, Daryl Hall, Emmylou Harris, Don
Henley, Waylon Jennings, Billy Joel, George Jones, Rickie Lee Jones,
B.B. King, Carole King, Kris Kristofferson, Huey Lewis, Loretta Lynn,
John Mellencamp, Roger Miller, Joni Mitchell, Willie Nelson, Roy
Orbison, Tom Petty, Charley Pride, Lou Reed, Kenny Rogers, Brian Setzer,
Sissy Spacek, Tanya Tucker, Eddie Van Halen, Debra Winger, Neil Young,
Dave Milsap, Joe Ely, Judy Rodman.
September 16: In 1991, standup comedian Jenny Jones begins her daytime
talk show / inadvertent killing spree.
September 17: In 2001, Dave returns to the airwaves. "This is our first
show on the air since New York and Washington were attacked, and I need
to ask your patience and indulgence here because I want to say a few
things, and believe me, sadly, I'm not going to be saying anything new,
and in the past week others have said what I will be saying here tonight
far more eloquently than I'm equipped to do. But, if we are going to
continue to do shows, I just need to hear myself talk for a couple of
minutes, and so that's what I'm going to do here. It's terribly sad here
in New York City. We've lost five thousand fellow New Yorkers, and you
can feel it. You can feel it. You can see it. It's terribly sad.
Terribly, terribly sad. And watching all of this, I wasn't sure that I
should be doing a television show, because for twenty years we've been
in the city, making fun of everything, making fun of the city, making
fun of my hair, making fun of Paul... well... So, to come to this
circumstance that is so desperately sad, I don't trust my judgment in
matters like this, but I'll tell you the reason that I am doing a show
and the reason I am back to work is because of Mayor Giuliani. Very
early on, after the attack, and how strange does it sound to invoke that
phrase, "after the attack?", Mayor Giuliani encouraged us -- and here
lately implored us -- to go back to our lives, go on living, continue
trying to make New York City the place that it should be. And because of
him, I'm here tonight." Read the rest of the opening monolog at:
Daymented.com/Letterman.html
September 18: In 1992, America meets the "Kids in the Hall" in CBS late
night. Fortunately, they've "dressed" for the occasion.

Thomas Allen Heald's (All new!) TEST PATTERNS
Copyright 2006 (C) Tom Heald
tom@...
September 25: In 1950, God Bless Kate Smith! As an afternoon talk series
with a lot of sketches and musical numbers, the first of three different
productions she would host, "The Kate Smith Show" sounds an awful lot
like the Rosie O. of her generation.
September 26: IQs are lowered with debuts on this day in 1962 ("The
Beverly Hillbillies"), 1964 ("Gilligan's Island") 1969 ("The Brady
Bunch"), and 1982 ("Knight Rider").
September 27: In 1954, Helen Kushnick forces Steve Allen to make his
"Tonight Show" radically different than the version done by his
predecessor, who he's not even allowed to mention on his first night
hosting.
September 28: In 1901, Ed Sullivan is born and immediately displays
absolutely no creative talent whatsoever.
September 29: In 1987, Hope and Michael Steadman begin whining.
September 30 : In 1951, "The Red Skelton Show" begins a 20 year run on
NBC, CBS and in its last run, back to NBC.
October 1: In 1950, Frankie Thomas stars as "Tom Corbett, Space Cadet"
which begins on CBS, moves to ABC and eventually crash lands at ABC.
[Mr. Heald recently taped an edition of "The Paul Goebel Show" (The TV
Geek from "Beat the Geeks") podcast looking ahead at the new fall
season, the merits of the British model of TV seasons/series, Katie
Couric's new sign off and a heckuva lot of other amusing topics. You can

Thomas Allen Heald's TEST PATTERNS
Copyright 2002 (C) Tom Heald
tom@...
October 2: in 1961, on CBS, the "Password" is.
October 3: in 1995, 107.7 million people are glued to their sets as the
verdict is read in the "trial of the century," and one Orenthal Simpson
is found not guilty of the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown- Simpson
and her friend Ronald Goldman.
October 4: in 1981, why is "The Flintstones" back on NBC in "gay-ole"
prime time? It's an emergency replacement when injuries on the set force
"The Powers of Matthew Star" to temporarily shut down production.
October 5: in 1998, UPN opens "The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer,"
with an episode titled "A.O.L.: Abe On-Line" detailing the previously
undocumented story of the time that President Abraham Lincoln engaged in
"telegraph sex" with a woman he'd never seen. The series' final episode
airs October 28th.
October 6: in 1963, Barbra Striesand appears on "The Judy Garland Show,"
sending one 15-year-old New Orleans youth named Richard Simmons into
convulsions.
October 7: in 1996, because President Bill Clinton isn't getting punched
in the stomach enough by his wife, the Fox News Channel launches on
satellite.
October 8: in 1960, on "Leave It to Beaver" the "Beav" suggests his mom
and dad get a divorce. His friend Chopper's parents got one and he has
lots of fun with his many stepbrothers. Please mom?
[Mr. Heald recently taped an edition of "The Paul Goebel Show" (The TV
Geek from "Beat the Geeks") podcast looking ahead at the new fall
season, the merits of the British model of TV seasons/series, Katie
Couric's new sign off and a heckuva lot of other amusing topics. You can

MUDDY AGENDA FOR 'DIRT'
Courteney Cox is back in this FX drama about life under the tabloid lights, a
situation she's familiar with. But does familiarity breed a contemptible show
... or just a dull one?

WHAT TO WATCH THIS WEEK
http://blogs.kansascity.com/tvbarn/2006/12/what_to_watch_t_3.html
And check out TV Barn Wednesday for a review of the funniest new show of the
season, "The Knights of Prosperity."
THE YEAR IN TV

*** Aaron in LA ***
It's that time of year again. I'll be at the winter TV previews beginning
Tuesday. And TV Barn will soon be filling up with the latest news, previews and
reviews. I'll be podcasting regularly from Pasadena, too, so come by often.
*** TV Barn Podcasts (NEW) ***
"Idiocracy," "China from the Inside"
Two new video choices — one aimed at redneck America, the other at Red China
— have a common thread, and I'm pretty sure it isn't dental floss.
http://blogs.kansascity.com/tvbarn/2007/01/idiocracy_china.html
"Rare Visions and Roadside Revelations"
The Emmy-winning, locally-produced public television travelogue that celebrates
folk art coast to coast returns for its 11th season. Many other public TV
stations carry the show too.
http://blogs.kansascity.com/tvbarn/2007/01/rare_visions_an.html
The best new comedy of the season
On KMOX, Paul Harris and I talked about "Knights of Prosperity," "Dirt" and "In
Case Of Emergency." Also, KMOX's Kevin Wheeler and I talked about a playoff
system for big-time college football.

Monday on ABC Family. Two nights later ...

AARON SORKIN IN HIS OWN WORDS
The co-creator of "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" invited TV critics onto his
set last week, and held forth about the future of his show, criticism of "Studio
60's" less-than-scintillating sketch comedy pieces, and what he really thinks
about bloggers and the L.A. Times. You've read the transcripts, but there really
is no substitute for Sorkin in his own entertaining voice.

mid-week update.
Namely, to pass along three items of interest we didn't get into
yesterday's (delayed) newsletter:
1. A podcast is up now previewing tonight's "Supreme Court"
doc-tacular from PBS: http://blogs.kansascity.com/tvbarn/files/TVBP9.mp3
2. Tomorrow's (Feb. 1) "Late Show with David Letterman" will be a
special one, as it marks Dave's 25th anniversary as a late-night talk
show institution. No prime-time special, just a special regular show.
3. And to mark the occasion, another podcast tomorrow, as Mark
Evanier and I ruminate bittersweetly about the past, present and
future of Dave.

You have heard the story about the Kansas-Missouri border wars before, but I
guarantee you’ve never seen anything like “Bad Blood,” the Kansas City
Public Television production.
