...World Series represents everything wrong with baseball, the bird episode shows us so much that’s right—except, I guess, for the violent death part. It’s history. It’s inane chatter that makes bleacher and upper deck tickets the best seats in the house—always. It’s spinning yarns about the weird and the wacky, about the crazy thing that happened “that one time” when the secure boundaries set up by the rules of sport were bent and twisted by the unexpected...
...House, a group of 5 girls sporting what appeared to be J. Crew mounted the shuttle bemoaning “we just got played.” They stared wistfully out the window as 3 males walked away with another girl. Though the shuttle was alive with conversation, their chatter stood out above the din...probably because it was dipped in bright green envy. “Look at her lunging out there.” And yes, said anonymous female was writhing against her equally anonymous man-friend.

Perhaps everyone else is oblivious, but it seems as if they have agreed to a reciprocal avoidance, a tacit contract...
...Estimated ratings for the luxuriously padded two-hour finale were 20 percent off last year's Neil Armstrong numbers - and estimated water-cooler chatter on Friday morning was off 30 percent - but "Survivor 2: The Sequel" still beat NBC's stunt-studded "Friends" handily on a weekly basis and still gets more people talking than any network show out there. ("Back From the Outback," a where-are-they-now cleanup show charged with sopping up the last of CBS' May-sweeps spoils next week, may finally yield to the aging Peacock gang.) Here's management's leverage in the Hollywood...
