Stations about the storm warning -- of course somebody decides to ask you about all these rumors swirling around them and he said.

One thing one thing governor Paterson has on the state has a lot of a lot of enemies and and and end after an -- after -- governor Spitzer I mean.

I would say they've been a little yet -- and you're absolutely right -- you didn't have these issues and then. Quite frankly Cuomo didn't hurt -- now. No we didn't. These are changed times -- A good for us that they are right I just let you know I find I find it amusing that the governor. The governor said that after the New York time post ran the story about him must snuggling in the closet. There is no closet in the executive mansion how when they're there's no closet or anywhere -- How is that possible backs it. This is snuggle free zone now all right by the web like to thank the cal lone -- sockets Massachusetts -- there were one nut north.

Let's go let's move on here and take -- questions do what did you think of the green police set I didn't like the green police say I didn't I didn't like it was you know what it is how we took too long to get to it to the joke. With the green -- that I mean. I thought the thing with Betty White neighbor -- it was funny this was a Snickers. The I late in the kind of that heart strings. And I like the Google -- and you know what I really liked and I might be in the minority of this -- but was the Volkswagen had to punch bug yet. Oh yeah yeah I mean that's just because I'm used to my kids every time they see a Volkswagen Beetle you know some punches somebody Ryan -- Yup and and I just -- the life could be looks it's still include Stevie Wonder punches Trixie more. -- appealed to me it. You know but how come these movies are all these movies I think that every year I see the ads for these movies and I think that's what looks just like PM I saw last year we'll look at that look at the box over the sabathia in the book -- is up let's hear it and I think you guys got. Your answer their Alli mean. And Hollywood. It's not originality it's box office right. And the Fed them movies what is it called shutter island with the fact that Martin Scorsese made some good movies a few years ago it doesn't make me wanna see shot -- I put the -- It was like to these other these other movies he used to make you wanna see is no movie now not particularly. I had no idea but I there was somewhere out I think it was in magazine it was gonna last night at fast company they had this thing.

I had no idea I mean. Martin Scorsese though his partnership with Leonardo DiCaprio. Has been incredibly profitable I mean. All these. All these movies he's done with him I didn't realize that had been such a big success the aviator movie yeah originally played Howard Hughes -- gains in New York. Certainly the departed. They've all done you know north at 2300 million dollars in box office and so. And Scorsese you know for the Scorsese didn't raise a dummy. So maybe they think that DiCaprio it's going to be just box office gold.

Well there will look this part like Comcast wants to buy NBC it's gonna give a more leveraged. Man and I think you might see once that deal is approved. Which is gonna take a little while. Then you may see those those Comcast channel show up on DirecTV that the be part of a package that includes those other channels that those other networks. Like USA network Bravo one not that are quite popular that that DirecTV does certainly doesn't wanted to without.

I Macs I got a question -- a show called the royal it checked or what I believe Wikipedia sheet. Up production I saw a few episodes years ago adamant trying to find it dvds. And I've tried the mainstream the Netflix. And the BBC dot com I just catching the fight. Any -- sort -- rent the dvd and I'm hoping you might build up quite in the right there were.

The royals how we're gonna do a little research for -- right off the top of my head I don't know. --

I got it actually comes up online at certain that the the episode or rather reach until the last few years that there -- production of the show or it's just kind of always result of these PD is a sport.

No idea chip but I think they feel sometimes when it's a British production is that it might be. The production company Mikey bass over there they make -- think there's gonna from the market to release and on and dvd here. Okay thanks for the call will try to find out -- more -- will also Arafat told while blue mountain I never heard of that show how they got on -- we were just check that out for for the the earlier was her for Brian and and it's.

Can be talkin' kid okay Mac. What about lied to me that the one of the great great show recently. If I'm glad they put different point four Iraq now.

Ain't that bright. I lied and he did pretty well I don't know if we were gonna -- if there's some news about its renewal but I think that one has a pretty good chance a common that.

Thanks -- imagined telling you mentioned Tony for a kind of curious Hollywood the listeners think I think twenty -- a little bit better this year -- it's still completely core processors by. You know like you could page turner -- in a book for what page spy thriller it's kind of fun. Max I probably shouldn't admit this Kazaa some of the products were being advertised that even understand what -- only worth of Super Bowl. But what what was you -- what -- Snickers bar I enjoy EI don't look like her the door we don't know this is a type out questions before ya know I there's some of the stuff there was news it was it was news to make. But what the hell was Jay Leno doing with David Letterman. With Oprah Winfrey what was that all about that was -- that there was an incredible spot it and put corsets for. I think it's I think that's everybody wins on that one I think -- it was so kind of jaw dropping. That. -- really wants to rehabilitate his his image Letterman got some rehabilitation to do is well. I think they thought it would just be funded its wind everybody wins on that they've really got different kinds of rehabilitation to do no -- but I. And while yes. Yes they do. Or whomever -- okay it's another seemed it was at a CBS in now spotter -- yes so what do you what happened was Letterman reached out to Oprah and to it to Leno. There was all the subterfuge with a win on big to get Leno into the studio disputed there. And it's a 152 commercially catch it on YouTube -- I was very funny. Yeah again I was perplexed by at the white guy couldn't figure out but here we are mean a fifty tickets we're still talking about it you know I mean it's it's -- that one worked right.

Yes it is Friday Night Lights will be bad credit for thirteen episode run on NBC. What they did to keep that show alive and I agree with you I think it's it's good dramas there is on television right now. Com DirecTV picks up some of the freight and they play -- first in the fall the episodes first do you have direct you can watch it there. And then it goes MBC and MBA should start running and NBC real soon we're gonna try to get a date for you on that Friday right.

Hey guys thanks again like everybody else they -- call let's start with Trump's side by the sort of north street legend of the seeker. I believe ABC's first shoulder about 12:30. AM autumn about star owed Sunday mornings. And Netflix is good about having episode 100 download and play that's what your take that BC Canada. I love the series do you see that as they they along W problem well as the picked up -- are what you elaborate on that.

Give me the show again for we have a little bit of a technical glitch here for second dropped out -- just the second.

All this seeker is the other sort of -- series.

Yeah I think I mean if I think that there's all sorts of models for series and a -- niche audience. That the networks are looking at them if they can make something. And demanded to be available on iTunes however and any and any any means necessary. To get kind of a critical mass that's a way to -- to kind of support the shows that have more of a niche audience.

So ABC of course there's pick it up and cease -- fight -- not. So -- to dampen anybody's job chatter or scuttlebutt in the industry evolve back continuing all the like got episode by episode. Creation.

I don't think they I don't think they've they've they've made a decision yet what's gonna happen jury's still out. Thanks -- 1877469432218. There are -- over the paper today you know the Super -- got the highest ratings and ever gotten and Dhabi Perot over a hundred million people watching and some guy said. But he couldn't predict anything else in broadcasting -- would predict that the Super Bowl would continue to be a and an impregnable. Bastion of high ratings and high viewership and I'm trying to think and I I agree do you think any does nothing that comes even close to the super ball is there. I don't think there is how -- it seems open ended that always become like this -- where would. You know it's like a holiday everybody Greg yeah everybody gathers around electronic card I think it's. I think it is interest you to notice I notice there were few stories out there today that this was this was the highest rated television broadcast ever. Broke the record that match that for its final episode and that's more than what 2527. Years ago right armed but. I think is an and I do think there's been a lot of theorizing -- why. Ratings were up for this ratings were up for Golden Globes. The grammys. I think a lot of it is people don't have as much money being tethered to go out -- out. And I think that it might be too addicted to. Hum we're look at I mean let's face it a lot of people been hit pretty hard by the -- the great recession and then and you know you wanna kind of forget your troubles and sit around watch some TV and you some Doritos yeah that's why do we couple Snickers bars that's why -- like the green police -- they were bringing me back to reality there you go I mean that was. I know that was just silly -- silly commercial. I was worried enough silly and a good way I was worried about my stash of incandescent lights -- ball downstairs -- already well already -- and a man you know why I got two and a half years left to get a good supply and I've been meaning to talk Cuba. I -- the are you still you still drive in that. Accurate and it. I do I have I have. David your next without with a smart car waiting for now I don't think so no I -- what he Prius is either I'd -- no I know pre I know those people with Prius is would come to a bad bad and now they -- now. How sticky -- that's right a sticky brake pedal that's why -- that's why the -- restaurants such a bad mood there running to -- that it's against the ball Patrick for governor he's their man and they've changed they've turned on him ever since this -- problem. But David your next with how -- card may.

How we love the show thanks but your prayer breaks throughout the back but -- pick up -- Not acts. Not that close to the fact that totally got me hooked on flash forward is that come back.

I don't know if we have a decision yet on flash forward it's a real interest -- we're gonna check it out for you it's a lot of these new shows it's a little early -- them. And and it's something it hasn't I mean we do know couple the new comedies like modern family cougar town have been picked opener.
