The only TV grid you'll ever need
The Daily News introduced a new TV Book on Sunday, incorporated into its features section: Bigger, easier-to-read grids but no list of movies airing during the week. Some folks liked it; some didn't - you win some, you lose some. Meanwhile, a number of callers this week complained that BBC America wasn't part of the grid and it was hard to find in their cable package. Boy, you can't please anybody.
Well, let's try this: Spencer Green, co-creator of “Bukowsical!�, a cheerful and tuneful portrait of a raging alcoholic which we have previously discussed, has written the definitive grid for the networks’ primetime schedules. It’s not for the easily offended or anyone who actually works on any of the shows evoked, but it’s perhaps the deftest, most succinct act of TV criticism of the fall season available.

About this blog
David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place.
That TV grid is frickin' hilarious!
Your paper is nuts for not including movies in its TV guide. I've lived without BBC listings for...well, forever, since they've never been included in my paper's TV book. I rely on you to tell me when to go to the BBC for good programming.
