Hollywood is big on self-aggrandizement and self destruction too. I am so turned off by the product that comes from Hollywood now. We need an alternative that can put them out of business forever.

Fortunately for ABC, there is no strong competition on TV tonight.

I disagree..... FNC's War Stories was fantastic showing what Hollywood was like during WWII..... Quite different from the libs who live there now!

I didn't know that Jim Arness landed at Anzio and nearly lost a leg?

"I don't see Hollywood making movies that lead people to say, "yeah here's something that changes or uplifts our view of the human condition."

Well, O.K., I understand your emotions here, but then there was "Cinderella Man", starring Russel Crowe and although neither he (Russel Crowe) nor Ron Howard (Director) won any Oscars, I thought it was one of the best movies of the year.

Keep in mind that although Brokeback was ranked 4th in total gro$$, it has been out 80 days while most of the films it is in contention with on current gro$$ have been out no more than 30 days.

What is worse for "the loves of the liberals" are "Capote" with total gro$$ of less than $25 million after being in the theatres for 150 days, and looney Clooney's favorite "Good Night and Good Luck, out for 143 days and still got just barely $30 million in total gro$$.

but this is a way for Hollywood to stick a finger in the eye of middle America.

Careful! You don't know where that finger's been.

best-actor nominee Heath Ledger and supporting-actor contender Jake Gyllenhaal).

How do they determine actor and supporting actor?

Shouldn't it be packer and packee?
