...Sure, hip-hop legends like De La Soul have been known to pull off entertaining skits (“Brain-Washed Follower” is a stand-out example), KMD’s albums are peppered with them, and even “Madvillainy” features a somewhat light-hearted paean to the glories of “grass.” But having almost every track either begin and/or end with a skit seriously impacts the repeat listening capacity of the album...

One possible scenario is that consumers might freely fetch mass-market shows from broadcast airwaves, while purchasing more specialized video - such as, say, a Lenny Bruce skit or minor-league soccer clip - from mobile networks.

The HDTV broadcast of Joey, she said, was so clear, "you could actually see Matt LeBlanc's panic.") The new schedule NBC was announcing would go a long way toward turning around the network's fortunes. But, then again, they might change it within...
