Katie Couric is failing because of her voice

by Bob Sassone, posted Jun 1st 2007 4:04PM

CouricThat's the opinion of New York Post columnist Cindy Adams.

Besides the hype and media attention and marketing mistakes made by CBS, Adams thinks that it's Couric's voice is turning off viewers. That regular network news viewers want the stronger, deeper voice of a male anchor like Charles Gibson or Brian Williams.

24; jack bauer; kiefer sutherland; foxThe rumors are that another cast-member is going to be leaving the show after tonight, and if it's who I'm hearing, this is going to be one doozey of an episode.

Live 24 Chat Location

by Ryan j Budke, posted Apr 17th 2006 8:00PM
24; jack bauer; kiefer sutherland; foxSo that title is a little misleading, because neither Kiefer Sutherland nor Jack Bauer will be in our weekly 24 chat tonight, but I can guarantee beyond a shadow of a doubt that if they knew it existed, they'd want you to be there. So do Jack proud and come join me and all the other 24 fanatics as we chat live and keep up with the kill count (Jared won last week, boo) during the show. As with all of our chats, you must have AIM or a compatible client. Once you have that, make sure you check back to this very post at 8pm ET, that's when I'll unveil the location for the super secret chat room. Until then, gravitas!

by Ryan j Budke, posted Apr 10th 2006 8:00PM
24; jack bauer; kiefer sutherland; foxWe obviously know that Jack Bauer is going to get out of the current pickle he's in, especially after today's news about three more seasons, but the fun is in the journey. So come join me and all the other 24 fanatics tonight as we chat live during the trip show. As with all of our chats, you will need AIM or a compatible client (Trillian, GAIM, etc) to join the room. Once you have that, meet back here to this very post, at 8pm ET, and that's when I'll unveil the location for the super secret chat room. Will the President kill Jack? Will Jack kill the President?

Chat live as Jack Bauer saves the world

by Ryan j Budke, posted Mar 27th 2006 7:58PM
24; jack bauer; kiefer
sutherland; foxSomeone asked last week if there was going to be anyone left standing after this season of 24. To be honest, I have no idea. It's certainly looking like that isn't it? Let's see who's been on for more than one season and is still alive-- Wayne Palmer, the recently assassinated president's brother, who is currently running for his life through sewers from mysterious men. Aaron Pierce, the stalwart secret service agent, who's already had a couple of close calls and was last seen canoodling with the First Lady. Chloe O'Brian, the ever annoyed computer technician who has stayed by Jack's side when most wouldn't. Will any of these regulars make it through the night, let alone the end of the season? Sound off and let me know, then join me back here at 8pm EST to this very post and that's when I'll unveil the location for the super secret chat room. As with all of our chats, you'll need AIM or a compatible messenger, so make sure you have one and I'll see you tonight. Gravitas!

24 Live Chat Location

by Ryan j Budke, posted Feb 13th 2006 7:57PM
24; jack bauer; kiefer sutherland; foxI figured since he took on MacGyver last week, he should take on the MacGyver team this week. Let me know who you think would win, then come back here to TV Squad at 8pm EST and that's when we'll unveil the secret room for our Live 24 Chat. As with all of our chats, you must be using either AOL's AIM or a compatible chat client (GAIM, Trillian, etc) to enter the room. I'll be in there under the user ID of TVSRyan and Tom Biro (TVSquadTom) will probably be joining us this week again as well. Word is that Jack is going to go underground and pretend to be a terrorist (like he hasn't done that before)  -- is tonight the night? Come join us at 8pm EST and we'll find out.
