Up next. Just ahead. Stay tuned. Still to come. Don't change that dial.

Sad to say, these phrases of false promise from the big voice in the small box are what fill your head after 25 years of daily TV coverage. Hopefully, there is a little room left for something useful. 

Nevertheless, I use them here only half mockingly to tell readers of the blog that I have been tied up on a Sunday cover story, but I will be catching up with the blog in the coming hours and days.  And that is not a phony promise.

Tonight, I'll have a review of Sean Hannity's interview with Sarah Palin. Ooooohhhh, I hope he doesn't put his chair too close to hers. That would be scary.

Tomorrow, another post on PBS host Bill Moyers as ideologue. And, yes, that is the word I meant to use.

And Friday, the first part of an exclusive conversation with Robin Veith, Baltimore native and staff writer on AMC's Mad Men, who is nominated for an Emmy for best writing in a drama. And it is her very first screenwriting credit. She shares the nomination with her boss, Matt Weiner, for "The Wheel," last season's brilliant finale.Veith is the focus of a cover story I'll have in the Sunday Sun's "Arts and Entertainment" section.

Just ahead...
