I write less on www.ericrush.com than I did here, so I'll start paying attention to this again. Working on a new book: It's Too Bad I'll Never Build Another House Because Next Time I'd Know What I Was Doing

WCPO in Cincinnati gives TV a worse name, if possible

Breaking news. Police arrest a man for a couple of rapes. Whoop-de-do. Hot news like that sure can't wait 'til 11 p.m. Hell no. WCPO has to break into Wheel of Fortune, the one and only TV program I like to watch, and present a live, rambling news conference of an officer giving all the boring details of the arrest.

But all was not lost! WCPO broke away from this really important news item and returned to Wheel just in time for the Bonus Round, and broke away from the program again a few seconds later, before the contestants had time to try to solve the bonus puzzle...Why, you ask? What was so important they couldn't have held off another ten seconds? They had to run all the commercials the didn't run in the normal spot because they were informing us of this hugely important arrest!

I fired up the computer to go to the WCPO web site to register my complaint, but the web site is even slower than the brains in the station management's collective skull.

Jerks.
