Thanks very much for the links to the shows. I didn't record or watch any because I'm desperately trying to eliminate everything I think could be adding to my depression and I'm all but certain the Sunday shows were culprits! I mean, Wallace's panels were enough to make me blow a gasket then go directly to Twitter to waste my time, blowing off steam. When I read today that his panel included that horrid Philippe and Rove, I gagged. Only Juan was missing!
