I can think of very few negatives anymore for skipping the winter Television Critics Association press tour, but having a chance to look curiously, with a hint of disconsolate wonder, at the face of Michael Thorn is one of them.

Thorn is the new entertainment president of the Fox broadcast network and it would be entirely too easy to use a Titanic joke here when the fact of his current and future state dredges up images of a kid who finally gets that coveted invite to a party — over at the cool kids' house — only to arrive and find that everyone is crying because the cool kids' parents sold the house and it's being gutted.

In fairness, Rupert Murdoch is not selling Fox to Disney, but that's only because he can't, by law. Otherwise, yes, he would have. And don’t rule out a stand-alone sale of Fox, or "New Fox," as it is unfortunately being called currently, sometime in the not-too-distant future.

1. Good analogy!

Fox is never going to be the cool house on the block ever again!
