In case you missed it, Frankie and I paid tribute to the late George Carlin during the July 10 edition of Talking Television on Share-a-Vision Radio, KSAV.org. Besides playing a brief clip from NBC’s Saturday Night in which Carlin performed his classic routine on the differences between football and baseball, we discussed his skillful use of the English language, his biting commentaries on American culture, and his impact on comedy over the past 30 years.

Batman, A to Z
July 20, 2008With The Dark Knight setting all kinds of box office records this weekend, I thought I’d post a link to “Batman, A to Z,” a brief look at the five actors who have played Batman for the big screen, which I wrote last week as a Spotlight feature for The Wave Magazine.
