Tips on plaintains in Newsday.
Daily News’ David Bianculli felt that Vargas and Woodruff on ABC’s World News Tonight were pretty good. I caught the new on-line World News Now webcast on ABC News on-line – it looks and feels like World News Tonight – familiarity can be a good thing. (like, keeping the theme song more or less intact, unlike Nightline’s strange break from its respectable past). So, maybe Vargas and Woodruff can do a decent job.
Speaking of Nightline, Ted Koppel, his executive producer, and a number of Nightline staff got signed on to Discovery channel, to do the stuff Ted wants to do. Well, good luck to Ted. And, gee, will I really have to give in to getting cable someday???
