The Week That Was

Recap 2024


We more or less celebrated Presidents' Day first by reliving happier times with Pete Souza's Presidents' Day Pic, then heading into lots of fashion. Considering there are always so many Presidents' Day sales, we felt justified. Two standouts for us were Burberry Deconstructs the Past and the ICYMI Michael Kors Fall/Winter Fashion Show. TCC is probably not done with Fall/Winter RTW yet!

YouTube to Stop Annoying 30-Second Unskippable Ads was pleasant news. Justified or not, the 30-second ads feel like the endless movie trailers when you go to the theater. Good move. On the television front the first full week of Syndication Sweep Numbers In and "Judge Judy" is still ruling the world! We read a fascinating piece, Star Power Strategy At NBC, in Vanity Fair that helped explained a subject that been a recurring subject for us, Is Tamron Hall Being Forced Out of 'Today' Show, apparently it was part of a grand strategy. Happy Oscars' Sunday!

Politics Becoming Popular Spectator Sport

Image
Politics TCC started down this road with a post yesterday, Funny Response to Trump Tweetstorm , that was a GIFF poking fun at White House press secretary Sean Spicer's response to President Trump's cell phone usage to tweet. Politics seems to be a uniting force, both pro and against Trump, on social media and in everyday conversations with Americans commenting, "Did you hear..." "How about..."  "Can you believe...." Stephen Colbert , host of CBS ' "Late Night with Stephen Colbert",  has moved from 2nd place to 1st since the inauguration of Trump. Other late-night hosts are also experiencing a boost in ratings as it appears Americans are using these vehicles as either proof of political views (confirmation or conspiracy) or just as a coping mechanism. Each day Trump seems provide new fodder for late-night television hosts to sink their teeth into.  clipartfox.com

Looks Like Kerry Washington Couldn't Fix SNL

Image
Reviews for Kerry Washington's appearance on SNL , considering Saturday Night Live was dealing with a very public issue concerning the lack of black females on the show, seems to have focused the diversity problem (like a laser) on the writing staff as well. Could diversity among the writing staff be the issue, too?
