They better get this musical right, if that's even possible. Tell a story, not just "a coming of age tale about friends during the turbulent 1960s blah blah blah..."
Hilarious interview with Letterman. Hov's comedic timing is on spot.

Hopefully Fox will send Stossel off to look into wrestling again, and he can get his head beat in.
one can hope until then we'll get segments like you know what grinds my gears? I can't be the only stossel hater with his freakonomics biased stats and observations.
I like freakonomics, but hate Stossel. He's such a hack. Or maybe hack is too generous. Such a ... useless waste of television space?
Indeed, Stossel is a hack. Fox News deserves him. I never get tired of seeing him get thrashed about by Dr. Death David Schultz:

Stossel, Dennis miller, Lou Dobbs, they all got flipped a long time ago. they should all burn together on Fox.
I'm going to add Michael Medved to that list, sir.
