Well, I just found out by watching Geoff Cowan's last HSN show on YouTube that it was his last show. Geoff is a former TV shopping host at Australia's TVSN and America's HSN.
After Geoff's departure from HSN, he's missed by most of HSN's fans.

Harlan, Miller, Bonner and Jacobson on TBS for a regional final should make the folks at home laugh!
During a commercial break in the midwest regional final airing on TBS right now, Kevin Harlan was supposed to address a fan of college basketball but he couldn't. His courtside reporter for the year, Dana Jacobson, should gain success in chatting with fans at TV timeouts of her own games, such as the one airing right now on TBS (between both Kansas and Oregon).
The TBS game that those fans are seeing should turn out to be funny due to the network's regular focus on comedies like Family Guy (one of my favorite animated comedies in addition to The Simpsons).
If Harlan told a Family Guy-style joke to the crowd seated for the TBS game, then he would think Peter Griffin (Seth McFarlane) would be proud of both teams. That would be the same for Jacobson, who could come up with an idea that Peter from Family Guy would be proud of Kevin.
But the TBS game turns out OK, and I'm sorry for writing the wrong blog post about the game, so I've already written the correct one on this blog.
Harlan, Miller, Bonner and Jacobson seem to be as OK as the game, so it's actually not delayed at all.

Robert Osborne, Chuck Berry, and Chuck Barris die
I've recently learned that Turner Classic Movies host Robert Osborne had died of kidney failure, Chuck Berry had died of cardiac arrest, and game show creator Chuck Barris had died of natural causes.
Bob died on the 6th at 84 years old, Chuck Berry died 12 days later (on the 18th) at 90 years old, and Chuck Barris died three days after that (on the 21st) at 87 years old.
I remember seeing Bob on a few TCM interstitials, and I haven't remembered Chuck Berry, but I know that Chuck Barris created game shows like The Dating Game and The Newlywed Game among others.

Bill Paxton and Joseph Wapner die
Two great men have died over the weekend: actor Bill Paxton of Apollo 13 and Judge Joseph Wapner of the original People's Court from 1981 to 1993.
I learned that Paxton had died of a stroke at 61 years old, and that Wapner had died of respiratory failure at 97 years old.
I hope those two men rest in peace.

Actor Alan Thicke and sportscaster Craig Sager die
Alan Thicke (born Alan Willis Jeffrey on March 1, 1947), a Growing Pains star, died of a heart attack at 65 years old just two days ago, but sportscaster Craig Sager (born Craig Graham Sager on June 29, 1951) died today of leukemia at 69 years old.
TNT could be sad to hear about Craig's death. Many people have been sad to hear about Alan's and Craig's deaths this week.
I hope Alan Thicke and Craig Sager rest in peace! God bless them!
All I want Craig to do now is "make God score", since he should be good for God forever. Craig is now in a better place, but there may be a different one still on Earth, his son Craig Jr, but I'm shocked to announce that Craig Sr died.

I like audio description! (For Garrett Leach and other DVS fanatics!)
I first heard audio description in the mid 2000s, when I listened to various narrators in the DVS versions of Nickelodeon shows Blue's Clues, Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go, The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius, and even Rugrats.
Too bad SpongeBob SquarePants didn't have DVS available a long time ago. It now does. I've heard various narrators in the past do DVS, like Joel Snyder, Wendie Sakakeeny, and her daughter Kria (the youngest DVS narrator of the 1990s).
I heard Wendie during an episode of It's a Big Big World.
But Kria is a DVS narrator on very few more Dora episodes and a Blue's Clues episode. A narrator named Tom is a DVS narrator on a few episodes of Dora and one of Blue's Clues. Kria can be found on home video releases with DVS available such as the DVS VHS and 2010 DVD release of the 1995 film Toy Story and a few other DVS VHS's from the late 1990s to mid 2000s.
Wendie and Kria have been a mother-and-daughter team of DVS narrators at WGBH for over a decade. Kria should still do two jobs at once, at both WGBH and Oxfam America. She has already done two jobs at once, as a DVS narrator at WGBH and a news anchor and reporter at WMUR-TV in Manchester, NH.
I like many other voices of DVS now, such as Miles Neff, Leilani Jones-Wilmore, actress Adrienne Barbeau, Joel Snyder himself, and the DVS narrator I heard from LazyTown a long time ago. I want to hear Kria as a DVS narrator on the 2010 re-release of Toy Story on DVD and a few more DVD's that use her voice for DVS. Leave a comment about the narrators' use on DVS DVD's, and explain what other Dora episodes Kria is used on.
I actually found Kria from a DVS VHS of Toy Story itself, along with her voice from a DVS VHS of The Wizard of Oz, since TBS, TNT and Turner Classic Movies airings of that movie also use Kria's DVS track from the DVS VHS of Wizard. I know that she's also used on TCM's airings of the classic 1949 family film The Secret Garden.
One of Kria's first DVS narration assignments was the 1996 DVS VHS of E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, but I remember hearing her voice on the Dora episode "Fish Out of Water".
This is for Garrett Leach on YouTube!
Check out Kria's DVS presentations on Ray Starr's Descriptive Videos for the Blind website in the meantime!

The Wizard of Oz (shortened version of the 1999 DVS VHS presentation; the full DVS VHS version, with Kria's reading of the FBI warning, description of the 1997 Warner Home Video logo, and descriptions of the bonus features intact, also exists but in a ZIP folder with two MP3 files)
