...Hula-Hoopers in the park across the street. This is homemade TV -- and proud of it. On the show's first broadcast, Bergeron playfully chased his executive producer around the set and accidentally broke a lamp. "You're watching our final day on fX," joked Bergeron. "Tomorrow the Lint Channel will be here...
Maybe the Lint Channel has already arrived. fX, launched three weeks ago by the Fox network, is perhaps the ultimate example of disposable television.

One G.I. had just stumbled ashore on D-day when he saw what he thought was a great cloud rising across the Channel and coming toward him. It was the first wave of U.S. gliders bringing in more troops and guns. As the news of the invasion spread in Kansas, Taylor wondered how his fragile craft had fared. But he never paused: by then the plant had turned to production of B-29 bombers...
