Secret Talent Of The Stars was apparently a secret that nobody cared about. The show first aired last night on CBS and was cancelled this morning. Could it have been worse?
I confess - I missed it! Mrs. General Tom & I were watching reruns of Becker on WGN - good stuff. Sad to say, we missed Star Trek's George Takei singing "On The Road Again," Clint Black doing stand up comedy and Mya tap dancing. The show drew 4.6 million viewers, many of whom tuned out before the show was over. An audience of 10 million probably would have kept the show from being cancelled. American Idol consistantly reaches 30+ million people.
Back to the folks at CBS, shouldn't someone get fired? Like the guy who ultimately approved the scheduling of "Secret Talent Of The Stars?" You would think that CBS would've tested the show among some "real people."
Dumb, dumb, dumb.
You know, this makes the investment in a new High Defination Television Set a little less important.

Who was that FCC Chairman who correctly said, about a hundred years ago, that "TV is the vast wasteland?" We studied that stuff in J-school back when college kids still studied... So says Daddy Cool
The FCC guy was named Minnow. The wrecked boat on Gilligan's Island was named after him!
