TV Junkie: Rickles on Letterman - See Him While He's Still Alive; Kimmel Does His Show From A Bus

A Word or 76:
CBS lineup tonight is wiped out by the CMAs and unless you are up for a Sir Laurence Olivier marathon on TCM then there's no movies on. I'm getting kind of sick of the parade of authors on late night TV, particularly Comedy Central - who the eff has time to read when there's so much bad TV?

ah yes! the Shield!!! you see, I couldn't watch the Shield live tonight since I went to a rock n' roll show so I figured that I would keep everyone else in the dark about it. What was cool about my drive to the show was that on NPR's Fresh Air they had Michael Chiklis on - it was a good interview. I recommend checking out the Fresh Air website for the archive. Cheers!
