The season in review, Part I

As we prepare to open season two of The T Dog Media Blog, let's take a look back at past posts from the first season, in two parts. Here is part one:

Welcome! (Sept. 18, 2006)

- We broke down and added Radio-Info to the sidebar, because it is a good source of radio and TV news - despite the nutballs that appear on the site. Couldn't find JamesMeeks.com, nor plan to.

- Yes, this blog is still a work in progress, and According to Jim is still around.

Deporable! (Oct. 6, 2006)

- A forerunner to The Think Tanks I would later write, I blasted WLUP management for firing Cara Carrievau because she blasted the radio business. Some people I guess don't like brutal honesty.

Google buys YouTube (Oct. 9, 2006)

- And the free ride ends...

No cable required (Oct. 26, 2006)

- Law & Order: CI is sold into broadcast syndication and I explain why stations typically shun off-network hours as daily strips.

Next thing you know... (Nov. 1, 2006)

- The first time I criticized the Parents Television Council, but referred to them as "Prick Tofu" and a word that will get you punched out by a female. Whoops. Quickly changed it to "Crud".

Ladies and Gentlemen: Your Canadiates for Governor (Nov. 3, 2006)

- And I still say we would have been better off than who we have in there now.

... and don't hit your ass out the door (Nov. 7, 2006)

- And the odd thing about it, Federline would land a gig on One Tree Hill. Man, Hollywood sucks (and yes, I was wrong on #6 and #7. But not on #8.)

The 2006 T Dog Blog Turkey Awards (Nov. 22, 2006)


- Classic.

NHL, Hawks, Broadcasters need to get with program (Nov. 28, 2006)

- The first T Dog Media Blog Think Tank.

Second Chances (Dec. 20, 2006)

- Read this and you can see why I did not include this in the groupings of other Think Tank posts on the sidebar. Not my best piece of work...

The Toilet Bowl 10, The Excellent 10 (Dec. 2006)

- The picks for best and worst of 2006 (as yes, Grey's Anatomy received an honorable mention from me. That is, until...)

Radio industry blows it again
(Jan. 28, 2007)

- The "blows it again" phrase is commonly used around here...

Time's up, quack. Now get the hell off the stage. (Feb. 4, 2007)

- Dr. Keith Albow's show gets canned. Dr. Phil he wasn't.

Picture of the day (Feb. 12, 2007)

- The First Annual John Deere Tractor parade over the Eisenhower.

Idiot Fest 2007 (Feb. 13, 2007)

- It's about Donald Trump and wrestling, what else? (and yes, I swore here...)

Celebrity Comedian Smackdown (Feb. 15, 2007)


- Mr. UFC, Joe Rogan vs. Carlos Mencia (and yes, the link still works!)

It's official: Grey's Anatomy jumps the shark (Feb. 24, 2007)

- And the critics loved it! Credibility hit No. 1...

WFLD to launch 10 p.m. newscast (March 7, 2007)

- I explained why WFLD and other stations are expanding their newscasts (and yes, WGN did begin airing Family Guy at 10.)

No, we did not all turn gay (Mar. 14, 2007)

-The first (and only) T Dog Blog After Dark post explains further why guy's media choices are different than the gals...

You're on the clock (Mar. 30, 2007)


-Most inane idea we've ever tried at the blog. Talk about almost jumping the shark...

More coming up in Part Two!
