Harvey Korman died Thursday.
What does that have to do with my Friday newspaper column? WatchDog kudos to the first reader with an answer.
For a big hint, here is a quote from CBS executive Kelly Kahl about the night the network chose for its inaugural Mixed Martial Arts show this weekend:
"I think all the networks are guilty of letting Saturday night slip away. It wasn’t that long ago that Saturday nights were a big deal on network television. If we can use this to make Saturday night a little bit more of an event from time to time that’s a win for everybody . . . Unfortunately, the bar isn’t all that high for success. If we get half the people who really seem to be into MMA, we’ll do OK. But we’re not putting high expectations on this first one."

Stars past and present on CBS Saturday nights?
Close enough, SOTG. You're a winner.
Difficult to believe that in 1973-74, CBS' lineup went like this:
All in the Family, MASH, Mary Tyler Moore Show, Bob Newhart Show, Carol Burnett Show.
Sigh.
Those who are tardy do not get fruit cup.
RIP Harvey
Don't get saucy with me, Bearnaise...
I think the last real big Saturday night show was Golden Girls on NBC in the mid 80s. I think it landed somewhere in the Top 5 back then.
Who did Harvey Korman provide the voice for on the Flintstones?
The Great Gazoo!
After watching this fight. I realized that anyone from the media that has covered Kimbo Slice should be ashamed of themselves. He i snothing but a rookie and for some reason the media is giving him coverage that should ge giving to the best fighters in the world. I would mention them, but I doubt Mr Best would have heard of them anyway. Kimbo may be great eventually, but this isn't the time to give him this much exposure.
