Jimmy Kimmel Still Comes Across

In The Realm Of Pop Celebrity, The Bar Has Been Lowered So Far That There Is No Bar. People Can Be Famous For Being Famous, Famous For Being Infamous, Famous For Having Once Been Famous And, Thanks Largely To The Internet, Famous For Not Being Famous At All.

If The Networks Can Get Audiences To Tolerate Pop-up Promos By The Dozens, Maybe They'll Start Selling Pop-up Commercials, Too.

Jimmy Kimmel Still Comes Across Like A Guy Who Crashed A Party And Got Caught At It, Yet Adamantly Refuses To Leave.

The Once Inviolate Frame Within Which Programs Or Commercials Were Displayed On Television - Always Separately - Has Been Violated To A Pulp. Program Content Is Seen Increasingly As A Mere Backdrop On Which Ads Are Posted Like Billboards On A Fence.

Gimmicks Come And Go; The Cop Show Seems One Genre That Will Never Leave - Not As Long As People Like To Sit At Home In The Suburbs And See What Awful Things Go On In The Cities.
