The Dead TV Land the Week Between Christmas and New Years
Of course Friday, 12/31/04, one should tune in to the New Year’s Eve celebration of one’s choice. A small note: this year Regis Philbin will be replacing Dick Clark in the Times Square hosting duties. The ever-young Mr. Clark suffered a stroke recently, prayers for him.
Beyond the New Year’s Eve TV events, it’s pretty bleak out there.
On Wednesday, Dec. 29 at 8 pm, FX will feature a movie worth a peek. The promotion blurb briefs it as: “A publicist (Billy Crystal) tries to convince the press that the feuding co-stars of a new movie are still in love.(AS, L)”.

On Thursday, Dec. 30, at 10 pm, ABC will be featuring Prime Time Live with the title “That Was the Year That Was”. Which, ladies and germs, is a rip off from The Wise I’s own weekly post of “The Week Just Passed” Myself will be doing a happening version of this theme on 1/3/05 in place of my weekly post.
This is the first of these sorts of shows with many more to come. Check it out and see what ABC thinks was so notable about the year of our Lord, 2004.

This may be a repeat but the concept intrigues me.
On New Year’s Day, 1/1/05, at 8 pm, CBS is featuring “Return to Mayberry”. This is a typical re-gathering type of show but hey, I always loved the Andy Griffith show, a sweet comedy that would never make it in today’s more volatile TV viewing environment.

Also on New Year’s Day, Home and Garden TV will feature the Rose Bowl Parade with no commercials. After that there is scheduled to be a bevy of home decorating shows with unique twists, including one that requires decorators to do a room “re-do” using only materials on hand.
Ladies, grab the spare TV and check it out. Let the men watch the football games.
