LOOK WHO WON A PEABODY!!!!!!!!!!!
Saturday Night Live Political Satire!

"Hopkins," which was a great, short-lived show on ABC!

"Black Magic," an ESPN documentary, no less!

"Breaking Bad," of course!

Oh, man, the Onion News Network won!

Turner Classic Movies, which really deserves this one!

And - naturally - youtube!

1. I loved "Hopkins"!!
Great series!

They'd had it several years ago, too...I was riveted!

4. There was a previous one?
I didn't know that.

I found it riveting. I wish they'd do it again. It was much too short-lived.

6. Yes, there was.
I don't remember the dates, however...

And like this show, it didn't run very long...

It was fantastic!

8. Every time I watched it,
I thought I was watching PBS. It always sort of jolted me when I remembered it was ABC.

3. Also: Bill O'Reilly has still not won one
Maybe he'll get a lifetime achievement award for having claimed (falsely) to have won a Peabody that other time...

5. He won something like a Peabody, didn't he?
A Freebody? Cost him millions, I hear.

I was hoping Colbert or The Daily Show won, but, hey, they've won before, so I'm not upset ........................

7. Our local Comcast provider moved AMC to digital
thus taking away "Breaking Bad". :mad:

9. Oh, that bites.
That really bites.

AMC shows the Godfather I and II every few weeks, it seems, along with Caddyshack and Blazing Saddles. I would hate to lose it.....

12. I really got into it in season one.
Now I'll have to wait for the DVDs. I did see the first episode of season two on AMC's website, but that just makes me miss it more.

13. If I can find a decent job again I might pay for digital.
Then again, I might not. I don't like them jerking me around like that to get more money out of me.

14. I only saw parts of Season Two -
a few episodes, but I was hooked.

I just ordered the Season One DVDs on netflix. I really need to know all about this show.

What about places like hulu or snoork? Can you watch it there, I wonder?

16. Yes!
I sometimes put it on just to see if I'll catch some old gem that I've never heard of.
