Lauren: Have you heard anymore about Rosie O'donnell getting a new show? I miss her on TV.
Gail: Rosie O'Donnell is going to do "Rosie's Variety Show" on NBC the night before Thanksgiving. But it's a special, not a new series. I'm not a big fan (OK, not a fan at all) of variety shows; I'd rather see her do crafts than that.

Jimmie: I am trying to get to the site to read your discussion, but can't seem to find it.
Gail: You're here.

leeandpam: Have you watched Project Runway from last night? Has that changed your mind who you think will win? I can't make anymore comments in case you haven't watched it yet.
Gail: Thanks, Pam, for being considerate. I was watching and writing about the "America's Got Talent" finale last night, and I didn't have time to settle in with "Project Runway" afterward, so I saved it. By the time we chat again, I guess it will all be over!

JF: Any word on whether any other network might pick up Swing Town, which was dropped by CBS?
Gail: Uh, no. CBS has shopped it all over, but nobody has jumped in. But Bravo is going to air reruns of the 13-episode season, beginning next Tuesday.

Kris: With all of the condensing in the P-D, especially the lack of tv listings in the daily paper, I have a request. In your "TV Picks" each day, it would be really helpful if that info could include the list of guests on the late night shows. There seems to often be some "white space" in that section that could maybe be used for that purpose. The list for the coming week used to be printed in the Sunday A & E section and that's no longer done either. It would just be nice to have and not have to get on your website instead.
Gail: The deadlines for that Everyday pullout are so early (Thursday morning for the whole next week) that talk show info isn't available. If I tried to put some in, it would be incomplete and out of date. So it's not a matter of space; it's a matter of time.
