How Long Is A 60 Minute News Show? | Eastern North Carolina Now

I must be invisible. I've never been polled by a poll. You would think they would have found me by now. Are they making all this up?

ENCNow
    I for one am very tired of the 24/7 News Cycle. I am, however, not one to say that's the way is has to be. I am a Fighter but most of all I am a Thinking Fighter and I have come up with a fool proof way to address this awful situation.

    I am, here and now, proposing the way to cut any current 60 Minute News show down to 30 minutes! It is so simple that you, my dear readers, are going to kick your collective selves for not thinking of it ahead of me.

    On All Of These 60 Minute News Shows Prohibit The Talking News Head From Quoting The Results Of Any News Poll Of The American People

    That is it. That would easily save 30 minutes an hour.

    I am not so shallow as to just lay those saved 30 minutes on the trash bin of history. I am concurrently proposing that the time gained be filled in by showing reruns of any of the following...

  • Amos 'n Andy
  • The Ozzie and Harriet Show
  • Amos 'n Andy
  • The Lone Ranger
  • Amos 'n Andy

    If you have never had the pleasure of watching any of the above shows, I feel sorry for you.

    I take that back. I don't feel sorry for you because you have a lot of viewing pleasure waiting for you.

    If, after watching any of them, you say you don't like what you have watched, I will then feel sorry for you for sure.

    Would I kid u?

I own a set of DVDs with all? their shows...
Kingfish once was trying to sell Andy a French Car that had no engine. To keep Andy from finding out he locked the hood with a pad lock. Eventually Andy asked the Kingfish what was the difference between a Kilometer & a Mile. The Kingfish tried to explain... Well, Andy, you see a kilometer is ahh ahh different from a mile is ahh ahh who know. (He was having a lot of trouble so he cut right to the chase). Andy, a mile is like a kilometer but it's different from a kilometer but with a kilometer you get there faster.
Probably the best pure humor in the history of early television!

YouTube has Amos & Andy shows. Wife (Mx Ted) and I watched a 1946 movie on TV. Recorded to speed through the commercials.

I get it: You love the "racist" "Amos and Andy".

I do too, especially the one about Kingfish as a real estate broker and as the issue - "overlapping" (check out the video at the 19:36 point:
