Quick hits

** The new show Parks & Recreation debuts tonight on NBC, right after The Office.  Having Amy Poehler is awesome in itself, but the fact that my father-in-law has been in P&R his entire career … our family can’t WAIT to watch.

** The new LOST BLOG is online now @ US99.com here:  http://tinyurl.com/dlt8cf 

** If you follow me on Twitter (www.twitter.com/radiodrew), you’ll get the latest news FIRST.

** My favorite website of the week is The UnClutterer.  Daily tips to unclutter your life, whether in your home, your office, your work, you name it.  Last week, my email experience went through the roof with just a few simple steps.  Give it a shot, you won’t be disappointed.

Let’s chat on the radio, today after 3pm!

The new member of the show arrives, and in style

A big welcome to Jeff Goldblatt from Fox Chicago!  He anchors the weeknight 9pm newscast with Robin Robinson.

Every afternoon at 6:40pm, he’ll check in with the day’s headlines.  If you missed him drop by the studio yesterday, and getting grief for his late arrival, hear our conversation HERE.

Happy GREEN St. Patrick’s Day!

Tired of the bad news, and what to do about it

Lately, Jill & I have been watching the 10pm news (I like Ron Magers & Kathy Brock on ABC-7) before bedtime.

Last night, I just couldn’t do it … too much doom, too much bad news, too much overload.

Instead, I flipped on Comedy Central to see Jon Stewart.

Curing the economy blues with a double-shot of funny - The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.

Am I the only one thinking this way?  I’m curious about your escapes.

Let’s talk about it!

It feels like a lifetime ago

Lots of new TV shows back on the tube this month, with fresh episodes to boot.  Nip/Tuck debuted last night on F/X, although we’ll catch it tonight on TiVo.  90210 had a fresh episode on the CW, and most other shows are back in the swing.

The biggest anticipation at our house?  The return of Lost on ABC on Wednesday, January 21st at 7pm … my wife Jill writes the Lost Blog each year, and plans another round for 2009.  You can catch up on her *very detailed* musings here.

What TV show are YOU most anticipating the return of?  Let’s talk about it, today after 3pm.

Two other show notes:

• I just found out that Brad Paisley will check in tomorrow afternoon after 6pm.  We last spoke to him at Halloween, so hopefully he’ll have some New Year insight for us.
• I’ve joined the Twitter world – have you?   It’s just another way to keep in touch, in bite-size pieces.  TWEET away with me at the link above (on the index bar)!
