TV Barn Ticker for today ...

Here's a quick summary of all the news and comment from the world of TV and media that I published or read today, dispensed in bite-sized nuggets:

  • Longtime Nashville anchor Dan Miller dies: worked with Sajak (announced his CBS show), Carol Marin, John Tesh - tr.im/ivoL
  • With Smokey back in the news, here's a piece I wrote about the VFX guy who brought him to life - tr.im/ivpm
  • Oddest mention of a cable reality show you'll read all week - 8th graf - tr.im/ivtS
  • If you read my Twitter tips bit.ly/nUje this falls under tip #3 - I'm using @localtweeps to find others in ZIP 64111 to follow
  • Hey, cool! Localtweeps pointed me to @IAmAboutKC @worleygirl @JenFoster09 and embarrassingly @kc_art_chick who was already following ME
  • Oh, me and @poniewozik be such birds of feather, lukewarmish to PARKS & REC (and SOUTHLAND) - tr.im/ivEF
  • Charles was fantastic - tr.im/ivDW - and here's my story tr.im/ivF7 and photo twitpic.com/31rp7
  • Anyone else notice the "lie detector" scene in THE UNUSUALS was stolen wholesale from THE WIRE?
  • When Diane called me about this yesterday I thought: How many Page Ones tomorrow will use this ... tr.im/ivSm
  • THREE regional Murrows for KCTV-5 including best newscast - one for KMBC - did local radio even enter?? tr.im/iwqN
  • I believe Bobbie Battista makes Onion reports 2 percent funnier - ICANHAZ.com/bbat
  • The fake lie-detector meme, from Snopes to THE WIRE to last night's UNUSUALS - tr.im/iwb4
  • In 1991 David Simon wrote that fake lie-detectors really were used. But Snopes says it's legend - hm. tr.im/iwb4
