TV ISSUE ONE: Paws or Feet?
posted by on March 14 at 17:28 PM
I state with metaphysical certitude that Friday nights are not the same without John McLaughlin. Once, Seattle’s proletariat could ring in the weekend with a cocktail or two and a half-hour of civil unrest with John, Eleanor, Pat and the others. But no longer. Seattle’s KCTS now broadcasts The McLaughlin Group only on Sundays at 11:00 am. The poetic shouting is not the same, stone-cold sober on a Sunday morning. Fortunately Andrew WK has captured the energy, wit and wisdom of The Group in this powerful little ditty, written exclusively for PRI’s Fair Game.
Bye bye!
I miss being able to watch Channel 9 News Hour and then the McLaughlin Group.
Oh well.
I've had to podcast the show since I live in Canada and no channel carries it, but I do get Seattle's PBS on my cable, so maybe I'll be able to tune in. On the West Coast we're used to an hour of shouting in Parliament during Question Period on weekdays at 11 am on the west coast, so it'll be nice to have other people shouting at each other at the same time on weekends too.
