Wow, can you send the rest of us the recipe for that Kool-Aid cocktail you were drinking, and tell us whatever shade of glasses you were wearing?
We can try it for the next Charlie Chat.
Sure, I'll be happy to!
Take one part common sense, mix it with a dash of perspective, add the contents of one green bottle and a shot of something that mixes well with cream, and things go fairly well. Glasses are optional, but rose is preferred.
The common sense comes from the fact that the imminent launch of Ciel-2 had to be on their minds, and they weren't about to make the same mistakes they made when AMC-14 didn't make it. Charlie and his whole crew were sober, sober, sober--in fact, somewhat sombre. The perspective is that this is just about TV, after all, and I already have about 600G's of programming stored on an EHD that I haven't had time to watch. And the liquid refreshment is just what I prefer: your tastes could easily differ.
Somewhat more seriously, I look first for information on the Chat; if no information is forthcoming, I look then for entertainment. With Cuban, Bartiroma, et al, I thought the show was as entertaining as it needed to be. I had to laugh about the fact there were so many guests the show ran a little long!
Best regards, and happy holidays to all.
