The Official 60 Minutes Roundtable Thread

I second your opinion...I didn't like that they didn't do enough in his old neighborhood...other than that it was great...

Nice job guys, thanx!

I just got home myself,
First Off I want to thank Shuli for the invite, I will never forget what I just experienced.
To be honest I felt out of place at first, not being a show regular like the rest of the panel, im just a diehard fan, but everyone and I mean everyone was so cool, and welcomed me into the gang, I even got to hang out with Shuli, Joey, and High Pitch Erik after the show and we went to a bar to chill and kicked back a few drinks.

I got to meet people I thought I would never get to see face to face,
The complete panel, was myself, Shuli, Joey Boots, Dan the song parody man, Mutt, Billy Mira, Maryann from Brooklyn, High Pitch Erik, Hook Nose Mike and Rev Bob Levy, they were all very very cool, I was able to talk to everyone and bullshit with them before and after the show. I am truly Honored that I was included in tonight's segment. It was very very surreal, and something I will never forget.
I was also able to get a quick peek at Howard's new Studio, and I have to say it is completely state of the art, high ceilings and plasma screens throughout, and Robins new booth is like twice the size of the current one,

I didnt want to come off as a kiss ass or anything, But I truly felt that the 60 minutes piece was great, we all got to see a glimpse of Howard's youth, when we were all in the studio watching the piece, I took a look around the room and saw how captivated the rest of the panel was by the photos of Howard's old house in Roosevelt,
I know some people may feel that we were all there to kiss Howards ass, but I can assure you that we all basically felt the same way, and were very pleased with the 60 minutes segment.

Thanks again to everyone, It was truly a highlight of my life.

i had to wait an hour for the next train back to the island.....ugh.....just got in.....was great meeting you.....you're a righteous fellow and i look forward to meeting up again on the 16th with all the other maniacs......what a fucking day that will be..........great 60 minutes episode tonight....my only critique would be that it was too short. :hw:

I look forward to when i'm worthy of contributing! thanx JB

Thanks Joey! :hw:

i agree with most of this, the piece was definitely skewed with an upturned nose. it becomes clear why ed bradley didn't let howard cry...i don't think he wanted howard to become too sympathetic...the treatment was clinical, both detached and invasive at once.

Howard came off great to me as a fan, but i think for the non-fan he came off as a curiosity...all traces of his actual brilliance were minimized.

Thanks Mutt! :hw:

Who?

where?

ahhhhh shaddup!

just watched it (good to live in israel ><)
anyway the piece was alright...nothing really new or surprising...but hes doing it to premote Sirius so it was ok...

I thought the interview sort of Humanized a guy that has been demonized so much over the last few years. Considering 60 minutes audience, that is certainly a good thing.

Just goes to show you cant please evryone. The segment was way too short. Other than that it was very cool, thats how most of us felt, maybe it doesnt make for the best radio, but honestly its what we felt.... So there was the honesty. Maybe we should have lied and said we thought it sucked.... Hooknose you were a cool dude! Nice meeting you man....

Well said.

Way to much asskissing going on during the roundtable.
