Enjoying the Blitz
If you're like me you have to live vicariously through others' experiences of the QVC recording and the new opening night. TNLF has six months to go before she's weaned and up to another 6 months more before she's walking completely steadily. This fan isn't going anywhere for a while, so I WANT DETAILS!! Post them anywhere, I'll find 'em, if they're good, I'll link to 'em. Don't leave out any details.
First, the QVC promotional spot on Manilow.com: http://www.manilow.com/qvc.html
(Guys, guys, guys......FLASH video, not Quicktime. Just as easy to encode and controls are more obvious for the visitor, load time is just as fast. :::shaking head::: )
DVR Alerts:
QVC January 19 9 PM ET.
I hope Chickieboo dials it back a notch. Based on my IP reports the folks at Home Shopping Network got a giggle out of her description on this blog. At least let Tim Gunn screen test your outfit before you go live.
Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. January 21. You already know the time and channel.
Who else thinks that NBC renegging on their contracts because Jay couldn't haul his own ass in his new time slot was lower than whale shit (which is on the bottom of the ocean)? You expect Conan's ratings to lag a little bit at first, that happens every time a new host takes over that show. "Whoops! Jay tanked. And we're out of fresh ideas so we're going to screw over all of those staffers that Conan uprooted from NYC to work for him in LA and now are SOL." Conan will land on his feet, he has a contract. The crew he brought with him, not so much. Best commentary ever on this situation was Jimmy Kimmel doing Jay's 10 at 10. (It gets really good at 2:45)
Today Show Concert Series Jan 25 You know the channel and the time is a 3-4 hour range.
It sounds like the usual concert appearance but does anyone else think there could be some "awkward pauses" due to the NBC politicking? I'd like to see Barry toss in a salty word here and there, see if the boys in the control room are on their toes and can remember where the "dump button" is.
One more time, if you're at one of these (and/or opening night at Paris Las Vegas) post your POV. We're counting on you. 8^D

Video Has Come a Long Way
TPTB sent out a hotline with the new TV spot for Greatest Love Songs of All Time:
As I was watching this, I thought of sitting in front of MTV for the first time. I have no idea why. This is just a TV spot and there is more quality in this 30-second spot than most videos when the music video concept took off.
I can prove it.
Behold. For as long as TPTB allow it to stand.
Let's Hang On
The Old Songs
In Search of Love
Read 'Em and Weep
(The one I was originally looking for was You're Looking Hot Tonight, but that one is really no where to be found. Maybe on Manilow TV someday?)
UPDATE 2/7/10
FOUND IT!!!!

Manilow TV Previews
If you have wanted a peek at Manilow TV before subscribing, check this out:
They're offering a 6-minute free preview right on the site.
(Holy shit he does "I Wanna Do It With You" at the Manchester show! No way I could have seen this in the US!)
Back on QVC
From the QVC website...
Barry's back on to promote Greatest Love Songs of All Time on January 19
http://www.qvc.com/ProgramGuide/ProgramGuideWeeklyView.aspx?TimeZoneSelect=2&Range=January 18 - January 24
(Scroll down for the listing at 9 PM.)
I don't normally watch QVC but I tuned in last time Barry was on (for the 80s record) and the group performance of "Islands in the Stream" was a keeper. But the host, Chickieboo, whatever her name is, needs a shot of Haldol.
How about this: I'll pay extra to see Barry whip out a roll of duct tape and seal up her mouth with it so we can hear the music. Is that doable?
