Tube of plenty has had a lot of information and for this entry i would like to talk about one fact of television which is the transfer between radio and televisions. One personality that wasn't very good on radio but became one of the leading television comedians of his time was Milton Berle who was on the Texaco Star Theater. Milton Berle was known as "Uncle Miltie" and never tried anything politically risky. Another great television personality was Ed Sullivan who's show started as The Toast of The Town and the later became known as the Ed Sullivan Show.

WWII

2008-10-28T13:11:00.000-07:00

Well my story pitch really isnt much so please dont pick it. I only have one person i can interview and thats my dad because during the beginning of WWII he and his mother were living in China and had to leave because of the invasion. So the angle that this story could is what different people had to go through when the war started to physically take tolls on the country.

Please dont pick this.

In the book at this point families are about to make it a little closer to televisions being the norm in house holds, but the future of TV was still unclear. After at this point CBS was created after NBC was created and they were to of the biggest competitors of each other. During the presidential the industries took sides and decided to support the presidential candidate Herbert Hoover who they thought would help TV more then any other.

To put it simply this book so far has been epic so far. every page i read seems to connect to the bigger of television and media in general. I especially enjoyed the begging few pages when i related the past with the future of the entire glob. A lot of people made incredible predictions of what the average family would look like when the television would come in and these predictions even relate to the internet.

Element

2008-09-30T13:09:00.000-07:00

From what i have read i think that adobe premiere elements is much better for our class. my reasoning behind this is that for one thing its much cheaper and a lot more user friendly then other software. Also it isn't missing any important editing tools that our class would use. In the end this product has a lot more to offer the class then its more expensive models.

The old news compared to the new news

2008-09-25T13:02:00.000-07:00

Well i finished watching Goodnight and Good luck and then watched local news to compare the two. Well i really like the style from the old news and dont mind the new main stream visuals of the new news but really didnt like the middle ground at all. Because if your going to have visuals make them good for god sakes instead of half done like the local news.

Goodnight and good luck

2008-09-23T13:08:00.000-07:00

Well i really liked the way they shot the film in black and white. It really added to the theme of the time. Along the lines of meaning in the film i really wish the days of the old news Anchors would come back so we can have real news. Now days the rating wars have really made the news more entertainment news the world news and economic news. This has change things for the worst and have miss the entire point.
Thank you

if THE POPE IS DEAD!!!!!

So cardinals pick the pope and they use ballots and after each ballot is counted the stick it i a furness. if by the end of that day there still hasnt been a decision then they burn the ballots with a chemical that turns the smoke black, but if they do choose a new pope they burn the ballots alone and white smoke becomes visible.

Tom "The Goodman" Brady

2008-09-09T20:03:00.000-07:00

Well we all know what happened to Tom Brady and if for some reason you have been living under a rock or just happen to have a more lively social life then me. And if that's the case then stop judging me. Oh and what happened to Tom Brady was that in the first quarter of a 17-10 victory over Kansas City he was hit in the knee by Bernard Pollard. This sent Brady out for the season and he also has to undergo surgery to fix his knee. Now whether or not you like the patriots as a team you have to feel bad for Tom because in the end do you wont anyone to go out like that at the height of their carrier. If so the you can just stop reading this because my blogs are reserved for people who have souls. Well now the season for the New England Patriots is in the hands of Matt Cassel who did end up winning the first game of the season and that just might be a sign. Oh and really Noah ...really?

Really...really?

Why is it that when ever your having a bad day it just gets worse and not only that, but why is it that people who are having a bad day need everyone else to have a bad day with them. I mean really?
